HC Deb 20 August 1895 vol 36 c383
MR. JOHN WILSON (Falkirk Burghs)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, owing to the extra labour involved by the Fatal Accidents Inquiry Act, it is intended to appoint an additional sheriff substitute for Lanarkshire; and, if so, will he make it a condition of his appointment that he shall reside in Lanark, seeing that there is no sheriff resident in the Upper Ward?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE

In reply to the question of my hon. Friend, I have to inform him that it is intended to appoint an additional sheriff substitute for Lanarkshire, and that the question of his place of residence is now under consideration.
