* MR. J. MCLEOD (Sutherland)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will lay upon the Table a copy of the Act under which the Duke of Sutherland is alleged to hold the gold mining rights in Sutherland in feu?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EX-CHEQUER (Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.What I said was that the Duke of Sutherland held the mining rights under a Crown grant in feudal form made pursuant to the Act of 1592. The Act is a lengthy document expressed in ancient phraseology. There is a copy of the Act in the Library, and the Commissioners of Woods will be ready to place their copy at the disposal of hon. Members for their inspection at the Office of Woods. I hardly think I should be justified in incurring any expense for reprinting it.
