§ SIR DONALD MACFARLANE (Argyll)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is intended to prosecute Monson, the late tenant of Ardlamont, for alleged frauds, in respect that he incurred liabilities to tradesmen for considerable amounts after he had been declared a bankrupt?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR, Clackmannan and Kinross)There is no intention to prosecute Monson in Scotland in respect of any alleged frauds, which, so far as I know, have been brought under the notice of the criminal authorities. I may, however, say that I do not know to what alleged frauds the question is particularly directed.
§ SIR DONALD MACFARLANEIt is a criminal offence.
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEThat depends on the circumstances.
