§ 17. Mr. MORTONasked the Lord Advocate whether it is contemplated to appoint a Depute-fiscal at Dunblane; and, if so; will he see that the party appointed confines himself to the duties of the office and does not engage in private practice?
§ 18. Mr. WATTasked whether, in view of the fact that the post of Procurator-fiscal at Dunblane is to be conjoined with that at Perth, it is proposed to appoint a Depute-fiscal at Dunblane; and whether he is aware that, if such an appointment should be made, there is a local feeling that the man appointed should be confined to the duties of his public office?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Munro)In reply to these questions, I refer to the answer given by me on this subject yesterday. For the reasons then stated, the questions now asked are primarily for the consideration of the Procurator-fiscal. I am unaware of the existence of the local feeling referred to by my hon. and learned Friend.
