HC Deb 11 May 1909 vol 4 c1649
Mr. WATT

asked the Lord Advocate if he has taken into his consideration the advisability of appointing an extra sheriff-substitute in the Glasgow district in order to cope with the congestion of business in the courts there; and, if so, will he state the result to the House?

The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)

I am not in a position to add anything to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend on 28th April.

Mr. WATT

Is he aware his Department made a temporary appointment, and that he was doing good work and very necessary work there?

Mr. URE

Yes; but the situation in the Sheriff's Court is at present being carefully considered.
