Member had with these men in Inverness Prison on Friday last they have given to the Sheriff an undertaking to obey the law, in consequence of which the Sheriff has authorised their release. They were liberated on Saturday.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say when these five men go back to Scaristaveg, what opportunities they will have of earning a living, if land is refused them?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member cannot ask a supplementary question of that kind on a Private Notice question.
