§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY,) Inverness BurghsI beg to ask leave to bring in a Bill to amend Section 75 of the Larceny Act, 1861. The object is to make the section apply to cases of misapplication of money even when the directions for the application of the money have not been put in writing. It is proposed to do this by striking out the words "in writing," for we have found that the section as it now stands has given an opportunity in many cases to misapply funds.
Bill to amend Section 75 of the Larceny Act, 1861, ordered to be brought in by Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, and Mr. Solicitor General.
