HC Deb 24 July 1893 vol 15 c319
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether a minister of the Established Church in Scotland can sit on the Parochial Board in virtue of proprietary rights in connection with his manse?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR,) Clackmannan, &c.

The answer to the question depends upon whether the term "heritor," as used in the Poor Law Act of 1845, includes a minister, and it rather appears to me that it does not.
