§ Amendment made: After the word "a" ["a dwelling-house"] insert the word "small."—[Mr. Ure.]
1712§ Mr. URE moved to leave out the words "the owner, or by the law agent or factor of such owner," and to insert the words "or on behalf of the owner or occupier."
§ Mr. WATTMay I ask why the Lord Advocate has brought in the occupier? In Committee occupier was left out.
§ Mr. UREThe words were not struck out in Committee. Under Clause 6 either the owner or the occupier may give notice of removal; therefore, in providing machinery, we must provide not merely for the owner, but also for the occupier.
§ Amendment agreed to.
