§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the fact that Lady Matheson, the owner of the Aline deer forest, Island of Lewis, has refused permission to the crofter delegates appointed by the people of the district to inspect the forest of Aline for the purpose of ascertaining what land is suitable for crofters' holdings, and preparing evidence for the Deer Forest Commission, they will be protected from prosecution on their visiting the forest without the authority of Lady Matheson?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThe Crofters' Commission will no doubt inquire for themselves into all cases of this description. I have already called Sheriff Brand's notice to this case.
