§ COLONEL MALCOLM (Argyllshire)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether 331 the Crofter Commissioners have fixed Tobermory as the place for their Court when holding the inquiry into the condition of the Crofters in West Ardnamurchan; if so, how the Crofters (many of them aged) are to reach Tobermory, and who is to pay for their subsistence when attending the Court; and whether he will consider the advisability of holding the Court as Kilchoan, where there is a decent hotel, and which would be easily reached by the people concerned?
MR. J. P. B. BOBERTSONThe Crofter Commissioners fixed on Tobermory as the most suitable place for hearing the cases of the West Ardnamurchan crofters after they had communicated with the factor on the estate, and also with the agent for the crofters, who both agreed that this would be the most convenient place to hold the sittings.
