HC Deb 08 August 1902 vol 112 c1121
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that the sum of £80 paid to the trumpeter to the Court of Justiciary is described in the Estimates for Law Charges, Scotland, as salary, both under Item K and also in a footnote, in which it is stated that the salary will be abolished on a vacancy. And, seeing that this payment is not a salary, but an allowance, will arrangements be made to have it accurately described in next year's Estimates.

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgeton)

The description is quite correct.

MR. WEIR

I can assure the hon. Gentleman it is not.
