§ MR. MAGUIREsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to the case of a drover, who on his return from Cardiff to Cork had three fresh calf-skins tied up in a bundle, which he sought to conceal; and whether instructions will be given to the police in the various Irish ports to institute such scrutiny as would prevent the risk of the cattle disease being introduced into Ireland by similar means?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAWSON)replied that he would direct an inquiry to be made with the view of ascertaining the facts, and also whether any instructions had been given to the police to watch such cases, in order to prevent the introduction of the cattle disease into Ireland.
LORD NAASsaid, he wished to know whether any general instruction has been issued to the Constabulary respecting these matters?
