§ Mr. MORTON (Sutherland)asked the Secretary for Scotland whether there was any truth in the Report that crofters' houses had been burned in the parish of Creich, Sutherland, by the sheriff officer; and that, in consequence, great excitement prevailed.
§ The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) ForfarshireThe only information at my disposal on this subject is contained in a telegram from the chief constable of the county, who says. "Wire received. Local constable reports me crofter's house burned by sheriff officer acting under decree of Court."
§ Mr. MORTONWho is the landlord?
§ Mr. SINCLAIRI am not aware of his name. If the hon. Gentleman wishes any further information perhaps he will put down a Question.
