* MR. JAMES E. B. BAILLIE (Inverness)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, whether the Report of the Medical Officer for the County Council of Inverness-shire, as to the insanitary condition of the crofters' and cottars' houses in the island of Harris has been brought to the notice of the Government; and, whether they are prepared to do anything to remedy the existing state of matters?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE (Sir CHARLES PERSON,) Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities

This Report has been brought under the notice of the Secretary for Scotland, but he does not at present propose to take any action in the matter.
