§ MR. ESSLEMONT (Aberdeen, E.)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether enumerators for the Census of 1891, i.e., William Baxter, Alex. Alexander, and James Christie, Old Meldrum Parish, Aberdeenshire, have yet been paid; and, if not, will he explain why?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON, Bute)The enumerators 131 referred to in the question have not yet been paid, because certain questions have arisen in other parts of the county which necessitated a reference to the Sheriff for investigation. These questions have now been adjusted, and the money has been remitted to the Sheriff clerk to carry out the payments.
