I attach tables showing, for each Sheriff Court in each of the last five years, the number of cases reported to the Procurator Fiscal in which proceedings were raised on indictment and by means of summary complaint respectively. Statistics showing the number of cases dealt with in each District Court in each of the last five years are not available. The attached tables include the nearest available statistics, namely those showing, in each of the last five years, the number of cases reported to each Procurator Fiscal in which proceedings in the District Court were raised. Some Procurator Fiscal's offices are served by more than one District Court.In the case of Glasgow, the statistics for cases proceeding in the District Court are exclusive of those cases which proceed in the Stipendiary Magistrates Court. Cases which proceed in the Stipendiary Magistrates Court in Glasgow are combined with the cases which proceed by means of summary complaint in the Sheriff Court and are shown in the "Total Sheriff/Stip" column. Glasgow District Court is the only court in Scotland which has Stipendiary Magistrates. | FY 1994/95 | FY 1995/96 | FY 1996/97 | FY 1997/98 | FY 1998/99
