§ Mr. HARDIEasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland whether, in view of the assessment being imposed upon rent heritors in the parish of Cathcart, Glasgow, for the building of a new church, and as the vast majority of those assessed were not aware they were liable for assessment, and had no notice of any meeting, he will now ask that a full meeting of those to be assessed be called and let them decide?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLANDThe procedure for calling meetings of heritors is regulated by statutory provisions contained in the Ecclesiastical Buildings and Glebes (Scotland) Act, 1868, and the Ecclesiastical Assessments (Scotland) Act, 1900. The matter is not one in which my Noble Friend has any authority to intervene.
