Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Lord Advocate if he can say what, if anything, is being taken as the annual value for rating purposes of that part of the bed of the River Leven between mid-stream and the riparian property to which it is claimed as appurtenant, the rights in respect of which formed the subject of litigation in the case of Campbell's Trustees v. John Sweeney recently before the Court of Session; and what is being taken as the annual value for rating of that riparian property, including that portion of the riverbed, leased by the said trustees to the North British Railway Company?
§ Mr. UREInquiry has been made, but the Valuation Roll, so far as I have ascertained, is not so made up as to enable me to reply to my hon. Friend's specific questions in detail. I understand, however, that an entry as follows, "Foreshore and boathouse, £2," occurs in the Valuation Roll with reference to a strip of ground presently matter of dispute.
