§ MR. HEDDERWICKI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Sheriff in Chancery of Scotland has recently delivered a series of political party addresses in a Scottish constituency criticising the views and conduct of its representatives in this House; and whether it is in consonance with usage and with the office of such a judicial functionary to pursue such a course of action?
§ MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYMy attention has been drawn to the facts stated only by the hon. Member's Question, and I have not thought it necessary to ask for further information, because such a course of action is not out of consonance with usage or with the office of the Sheriff in Chancery.
