I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is the fact that Sheriff Ivory has refused to the Militiamen of Harris, Uist, and Skye, now in training at Fort George, permission to record their votes at Inverness; and what steps will be taken to protect the rights of those voters now serving their country?

I have no official information in regard to this matter, but the officers in command of the Militia will doubtless see that the men are afforded the opportunities provided by law for exercising the civil right of voting.
