Captain BENNasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the judgment by Lord Blackburn in the case of the Edinburgh Corporation v. Messrs. Kersans, Limited; and whether he proposes to introduce amending legislation to the local Act of 1850, on which this judgment, which is likely to be prejudicial to a considerable local industry, is based?
§ Mr. MUNROI have, seen a report of the case referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend. Proposals for the amendment of a private Act relating to the Corporation of Edinburgh ought, in the first instance, to be considered by the Corporation, and I suggest to my hon. and gallant Friend that he should address his representations to that body.
