§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether he is aware that Mr. William Bremner, tenant of a croft at Watten, Caithness, on the estate of Sir Ralph Anstruther, was recently evicted without compensation; and, seeing that the whole cost of the improvements and repairs on the holding have been borne by Mr. Bremner or his family, who have been in the occupation of the croft for many years, will he state whether the question of compensation has been considered by the Crofters Commission.
MR. SCOTT DICKSONA question was raised as to whether Mr. Bremner was a crofter or not, but the question of compensation in this case could not be 1102 considered by the Crofters Commission, because Mr. Bremner withdrew his application on his own motion.
