§ MR. BIRKMYRE (Ayr, &c.)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he can explain the cause of the delay on the part of the Ayr County Committee in paying over to Ayr Burgh School Board the secondary grant earned at Ayr Academy and Ayr Grammar School?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonWe have been informed 26 by the County Committee that full particulars had to be obtained from the schools. But these have now been received, and the payments (except in a few cases where the particulars have not been furnished) have either now been made, or will be made at once.
