MR. BURNIEOn behalf of the hon. Member for Ross and Cromarty (Mr. Weir), I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he has made further inquiry regarding the inaccurate information furnished to him as to the distance which Finlay Mackenzie, Duncan Macdouald, and Angus Maclennan, charged recently 1185 with salmon fishing in the River Balguy, had to travel by road in order to reach the nearest railway station when on their way to Dingwall to answer the summons issued at the instance of Earl Lovelace; if so, will he state the result?
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR, Clackmannan, &c.)I have not directed any further inquiry to be made on the subject, as I should not feel warranted in causing a further expenditure of public time and money upon it.
