§ MR. MACFARLANEasked the Lord Advocate, If his attention has been called to the case of Parr v. the School Board of Salen, in Mull, in which the complainer applied for an interdict to prohibit the use of the Board School at that place for public meetings; and, if he can explain how the cost of this unopposed application amounted to £21 16s. 1d.?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)I have seen the account of expenses in this case, which has been audited by the auditor (Taxing Office) of the Court of Session, and no observations occur to me upon it. If the hon. Member desires to see the account, and learn what the various charges are for, I should be glad to show it to him.
§ MR. MACFARLANEasked, If the Lord Advocate could say whether the School Board, or the individual, was liable for these charges—that was to say, the ratepayers, or the persons who are made the nominal defenders?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)said, he was afraid he must ask the hon. Member to give Notice of the Question. The answer would depend on the terms of the judgment under which decree was given.
