§ Mr. CLYNES (for Mr. William Thorne)asked the Lord Advocate whether his attention has been called to the case of two men named Andrew Morrison and Patrick Boyle, who were sentenced at the Greenock Police Court to forty days' imprisonment each for the offence of stealing forty fathoms of rope; and whether, in view of the fact that the rope was lost overboard from a Clan liner and the men trawled for it, he intends taking action to get the sentences reduced?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)I have no information about the case referred to, but inquiry is being made.
