§ CAPTAIN SINCLAIR (Dumbartonshire)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether Abraham Mitchell, recently tried at Dumbarton, who was arrested in England upon a warrant issued in Scotland at the instance of the 1595 Procurator Fiscal and not endorsed by the English authorities, was accordingly brought to Dumbarton, bailed out and remanded for trial, before any authority or sanction for these proceedings was received from him or from the Crown Office; and whether such proceedings were regular and usual; and, if not, whether he will take steps to prevent the recurrence of such irregularities?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonThis question rather falls to my right hon. Friend the Lord Advocate. He has sent to Scotland for information, and may be able to answer the question on Thursday.
