MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Lord Advocate whether he is now in a position to state whether the expenses in the sheep stock valuation case of Stewart v. Williamson will be paid by the Treasury?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND (Mr. W. Hunter)The matter is at present under the consideration of the Treasury, and I hope shortly to be in a position to state the result.
MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEMay I ask if in this case the Lord Advocate himself advised and conducted the appeal?
§ Mr. W. HUNTERI think that question ought to be put to the Lord Advocate.
MARQUESS Of TULLIBARDINEI may say I put that question to the Lord Advocate the other day, and he stated he would answer later.
