§ SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, whether he is aware that the local licensing authority unanimously refused the transfer of the licence of the only public-house in the village; of Findochty, in Banffshire, in compliance with the almost unanimously expressed request of the householders and inhabitants; and that the transfer was then granted in appeal by the Banff Quarter Sessions by a majority of 26 votes to 18; and whether, if the case is as above stated, he can suggest any method by which the inhabitants of Findochty can obtain redress in the matter?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir GEORGE TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonI have received a telegram from the Sheriff of Banff saying that he is sending a report on the subject by-to-day's post, and I shall reply to the hon. Member to-morrow.
