§ MR. ANDERSON (Elgin and Nairn)asked the President of the Board of Trade, "Whether his attention has been called to the conviction of several Lossiemouth fishermen on June 18th, at Tain, for dredging for mussels to be used as bait in the exercise of their calling, such dredging being below low water mark in the Dornoch Firth; and, whether Her Majesty's Government will propose any legislation on the subject and also recommend that the penalties inflicted be remitted?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. H. A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)I have ascertained that this case is at present under appeal; and therefore it would be quite improper that any answer should be made to the Question at present.
