§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland when the Crofters' Commission will hear the appeal of John Kennedy, of Arineckaig, Strathcarron; and upon what basis the Commission fixed the fair rent of Kennedy's holding?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANI can only confirm the information which I understand the hon. Member has already 966 received from the Chairman of the Crofters' Commission, that they are not yet in a position to say when Mr. Kennedy's appeal is likely to be heard. The basis on which the fair rent of this holding is settled the Commissioners are not prepared to communicate.
§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, having regard to the fact that the delegates appointed by the crofters of Balallan and Arivanich have failed to get permission from Mr. Piatt, the sporting tenant of Park Deer Forest, Island of Lewis, to inspect the lands which they consider available for crofters, they will be protected from prosecution should they visit the deer forest for the aforesaid purpose without the consent of the persons interested?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANI have asked Sheriff Brand, Chairman of the Crofters' Commission of 1892, to inquire into the case, and he will do so.
