§ MR. LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, in the administration of the highways under "The Local Government Act, 1889," Section 77, it is competent to the County Council of Zetland to constitute the whole county one district for highway purposes. notwithstanding that the county contains more than six parishes, and has been divided into districts for the purposes of the management and maintenance of highways under the Local Road Act in force prior to the enactment of the Local Government Act of 1889?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) ButeOn reference to Section 15 of the Zetland Roads Act of 1864, I find that the county was divided into certain districts for road management. This being so, I do not consider it competent, under the Local Government Act, 1889, for the County Council of Zetland to constitute the whole county into one district.
