HC Deb 17 March 1896 vol 38 c1170
MR. J. COLVILLE (Lanark, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, if Section 393 of the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act, 1892, applies to those portions of racecourses in burghs to which the public have access without payment.

THE LORD ADVOCATE

This is a pure question of law arising on the interpretation of a statute; and it is not for me in my official capacity to give the hon. Member an opinion upon it.
