HC Deb 31 May 1894 vol 25 c41
MR. MACLURE (Lancashire, S.E., Stretford)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that several members of the Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow in practice and holding solicitors' licences act as Justices of the Peace in the County of Lanark; and whether this is in strict conformity with Scotch Law?

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

If the statement in the question is correct, I do not think that the action of the Procurators referred to is in conformity with the provisions of the Act 6, Geo IV., c. 48.

MR. MACLURE

I will repeat the question on Tuesday.
