§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)A memorial has been received from the Faculty of Procurators in Paisley requesting that arrangements should be made whereby the Keeper of the General Register of Sasines shall, on receipt of deeds for registration, send notice to the granters and grantees, the object being to protect against forgeries in connection with deeds affecting heritable property. The memorial is at present receiving consideration.
