23. Sir ALEXANDER SPROT

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider the advisability of appointing an additional sheriff-substitute at Hamilton, in view of the large increase in and the congested state of the work of that Court?

The position with regard to the business in Hamilton Sheriff Court is under consideration. I am unable at present to form an opinion as to the necessity for the course suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend.
