MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSH

asked the Secretary for Scotland, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House, Papers connected with the dismissal from his office of Mr. Dugald Maclachlan, bank agent, Portree, sheriff clerk depute of the Skye District of Inverness-shire?

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

(who replied) said: I shall inquire whether it would be according to usage to lay on the Table of the House certain telegrams which formed an important ingredient in the case. There are no other documents which could properly be laid upon the Table; but my right hon. and learned Friend (the late Lord Advocate) and I will be ready to give full information to the House as to the causes of the dismissal if any question in regard to it is raised.
