§ Mr. MACPHERSONasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has received an application from, or on behalf of, George Ross and his brother to be reinstated in North Cluanie, Ross-shire, as smallholders; and what action he proposes to take?
Mr. W. ADAMSONI do not find that Messrs. Ross were previously landholders at North Cluanie. Their applications for small holdings there have been received, and though it will be impracticable to proceed with a scheme having for its object their installation at North Cluanie, the applications will be taken into consideration if it should prove possible to develop a scheme in the neighbourhood.
