MR. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate if he will take further steps to enforce the statute law in Scotland against the public desecration of the Lord's day by the closing of establishments for the demoralisation of young people.
THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, BridgtonI am not clear as to what the hon. Member means by "establishments for the demoralisation of young people." According to long - established practice proceedings under the statutes referred to by the hon. Member fall to be instituted by the Burgh Fiscal or by a common informer, and I am not prepared to make any departure from this practice.
