§ MR. READsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to allow the sale of 673 cattle at markets, fairs, and auctions in Great Britain after the 6rst day of June?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, in reply, that as there were still three weeks to elapse before the expiration of the last Order, the Privy Council had not yet taken into consideration the question whether or not it would be necessary to make any alterations in the existing regulations. It was, however, certain that the unrestricted sale of cattle in open markets and fairs would not be permitted just at present. The nature of the restrictions to be enforced would be a matter for future consideration.
