HC Deb 25 February 1886 vol 302 c1207
DR. E. M'DONALD

asked the Secretary for Scotland, If the Government will advise Her Majesty to appoint a Royal Commission or Select Committee to inquire into the administration of justice in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland?

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

It is not the intention of the Government to advise Her Majesty to appoint a Royal Commission to inquire into this matter, no sufficient cause for it having been shown. I would remind the hon. Member that in the Report of the Crofters' Commission, 1884, there was a passage which deals with this matter, and which has been fully kept in view.
