§ Mr. McGovernasked the Lord Advocate whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Walter Cowan, 53, Murray Place, Stirling, who has been debarred from taking part in what is termed a game of skill called "Shoot your own Penny," because he won a few shillings at stall No. 3 of Butlin's, Limited, Empire Exhibition, on Tuesday, 31st May, 1938, and then was refused permission to play on Saturday, 4th June, and ordered off the game; whether he is aware that the manager of the exhibition backs the action of this stallholder; and whether he will make inquiry with a view to taking action when a game of skill is not open to persons possessing skill?
§ The Lord AdvocateAccording to the report which I have obtained, this is not a matter in which I have power to take any action. Notices are displayed at the stall to the effect that the proprietor reserves the right to bar anyone, and according to my information he properly exercised this right.
