THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)The position of Mr. Ross has already been explained to the House on, I think, not fewer than four or five occasions during the present year. He is the Procurator Fiscal, and he is also a member of a firm who do any local law business which may be required by the proprietrix of the Island. That lady's principal law agents are in Edinburgh. Mr. Ross's firm are not factors or managers of the estate.
