HC Deb 17 July 1884 vol 290 cc1388-9
MR. MACFARLANE

asked the Lord Advocate, If his attention has been called to an anonymous printed paper which has been circulated in Skye and elsewhere, urging the people to every kind of unlawful action; and, if he will institute proceedings with the view of discovering the author and printer, in order that they may be prosecuted?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)

I have received from the hon. Member the printed paper referred to, which I understand from him is being circulated in Skye. Its circulation was not known to the authorities there. I have directed that endeavours shall be made to discover the author and printer, and also the per- sons by whom the paper is being circulated.
