§ MR. ANGUS SUTHERLAND (Sutherland)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the attention of the Secretary for Scotland has been called to entries in the current Valuation Roll relative to the Parish of Eddrachillis, in Sutherland, where four female domestic servants, who live within the residences of their employer, are entered in the Service Franchise column; and whether he will take steps to prevent such an infraction of the law?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND (Sir C. PEARSON,) Edinburgh and St. Andrew's UniversitiesThe Secretary for Scotland has not had his attention directed to the entries referred to. The entries in the Valuation Roll are made yearly by the assessor, subject to the appeal provided by the Valuation Acts. I may add that the statements in the question do not necessarily involve any infraction of the law.
