HC Deb 16 November 1911 vol 31 c672W
Captain WARING

asked the Lord Advocate what are the administrative duties performed by sheriffs principal in Scotland?

Mr. URE

It is impossible, by way of question and answer in this House, to give a satisfactory reply to my hon. Friend's question. But I may refer him to Green's Encyclopedia of Scots Law, where,voce Sheriff, he will find an excellent account of the administrative duties performed by sheriffs in Scotland.
