Not only in Belgium "schout" is still in use. As far as I know the
official Dutch name for a prosecutor in cases on traffic offences is

I just received an inquiry on the Foreign Language Teach list re: the origin
of the name Urquhart. The guess was that it is Scots. Anyone know? Respond to
the List or to PBarr21106 at aol.com  and I will forward it.
