§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that tenants under the Crofters Act, 1886, on the Culloden Estate, Muir of Ord, Ross-shire, have had fair rents fixed by the Crofters Commission and arrears of rent cancelled, whilst their neighbours on the same estate who are leaseholders are being pressed for arrears of rent under a process of ejectment; and will he consider the expediency of so amending the law that both classes of tenants may be placed on an equal footing.
*MR. SCOTT DICKSONI learn that in the case of one leaseholder only, with whose circumstances the hon. Member is fully acquainted, have proceedings been taken. In one or two other cases where no payment on account of rent at the last collection was made, letters requesting a payment to account have been issued. The Secretary for Scotland does not propose to legislate in the sense suggested.
