§ Captain ELLIOTIt is not yet possible to answer the question with certainty. The Scottish Church Endowment Committee is far advanced with its work, and has a Report in draft for final consideration. Whether this will be finally adopted depends on the consideration of legal questions which will, it is hoped, be disposed of after a meeting which is likely to be held shortly. The utmost expedition practicable is being aimed at.
