§ MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Scottish University Commissioners, who are understood to have already taken much evidence on the question of the changes to be introduced into the conditions attaching to the Chairs in the Faculty of Divinity, propose to present at an early period the Special Report to Her Majesty upon this matter, which they are directed to make by the Universities (Scotland) Act of 1889?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOK SCOTLAND (Mr. M. T. STORMONTH DARLING,) Edinburgh and St. Andrews UniversitiesThe Commissioners are fully alive to the expediency of presenting' the Special Report upon this matter so soon as they are in a position to do so, but it is impossible for them at present to fix any date, as they are still engaged in hearing evidence.
