§ Motion made, and Question proposed: "That a Supplementary sum, not exceeding £5, be granted to His Majesty to 944 defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st of March, 1910, for the salaries and expenses of the Lord Advocate's Department and other law charges, and for the salaries and expenses of the Courts of Law and Justice in Scotland."
§ Mr. C. E. PRICEI have received several letters from persons in my division regarding the injustice which they feel they suffer in being called on to attend jury trials, two, three, four days, and sometimes even for a week without receiving any grant or assistance. That is to them a matter of very great hardship in a city like Edinburgh, where constant claims are made. I am not sure whether it would not be possible for the Lord Advocate to see whether it would be possible to make some grants to these men, on whom it is a very great sacrifice.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANI do not see anything in this Vote to entitle the hon. Member to raise the matter to which he refers.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANNo.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
