§ MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)asked the Lord Advocate, Whether he is aware that the case of John M'Giveran, assaulted by a policeman at Greenock, was inquired into by the County Fiscals; whether they carry on a private practice under the title of Blair and Cameron; whether that firm represented ex-policeman Innes at the Licensing Court; and, whether the statements of the witnesses can now be obtained?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. H. A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)I answer the first three paragraphs in the affirmative; but I have to repeat what I stated formerly, that the case was one for the Burgh Procurator Fiscal—Mr. Auld—who investigated it at the time, and came to the same conclusion. I cannot supply the hon. Member with the statements of witnesses and precognitions.
