HC Deb 27 July 1899 vol 75 cc511-2
MR. BUCHANAN

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether his attention has been called to the great inconvenience caused in Scotland in the long delay in giving judgment in recent cases of great importance appealed from Scotland; and whether he can suggest any method of removing the grievance.

* MR. A. GRAHAMMURRAY

I believe that the case to which I understand the hon. Member to refer has now been disposed of. It is unavoidable that from fortuitous circumstances delay should sometimes occur in a particular case, but I am not aware of any general grievance which calls for a remedy.
