§ DR. CAMERON (Glasgow, College)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Trustee and Commissioners in the sequestration of William Arnott, Corn Factor, Glasgow, reported to the presiding Judge, under Section 15 of the Debtors (Scotland) Act, any offences against that Act; whether the Judge directed information to be laid before the Lord Advocate in the terms of the Act as a case which he thought ought to be prosecuted; and, if so, whether the criminal authorities took any action on the Report?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) ButeThe facts stated in this question are correct. After careful consideration by my predecessor in office it was decided that there was no ground for criminal action. I have also looked into the matter and am of the same opinion.
