HC Deb 11 June 1886 vol 306 c1564

Order for Third Reading read.

MR. JOHN WILSON (Edinburgh)

I have received a telegram from Heriot's Hospital, to the effect that their interests would be injuriously affected by this Bill. I will not go into the particulars of the matter just now, but merely mention it, so that the hon. and learned Gentleman the Solicitor General for Scotland may enter into communication with the Governors of the Hospital, with a view to finding out whether anything can be done to meet their objection.

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. ASHER) (, &c.) Elgin

The Hospital the hon. Member refers to undoubtedly has large interests as Superiors; but this Bill has been examined by a Committee of the Society of Writers to the Signet in Edinburgh, who act largely for Superiors, and they have expressed their approval of it.

Bill read the third time, and passed.
