HC Deb 18 June 1867 vol 188 cc16-7
SIR GEORGE STUCLEY

said, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Council. Whether he is aware that in many instances farmers are obliged to make a journey of thirty miles to and from the nearest magistrates in order to get a Cattle Pass; and, whether he will at once relieve them from this inconvenience?

LORD ROBERT MONTAGU

said, he was aware that inconvenience would arise in many parts of the country from the necessary restrictions. There was, however, waiting a second reading a Bill which would make the restrictions local and self-acting, and if it was passed the Privy Council hoped to be able to make an order that would remove much of the inconvenience.
