§ SIR GEORGE STUCLEYsaid, he wished to ask the Vice-President of the Council, Whether it is not expedient that enclosed markets, provided with lairs and slaughterhouses, should be established at the Ports where the entry of Foreign Cattle is permitted; that markets should be held there; that buyers should buy as at other markets; that cattle should not he removed alive, but killed or detained alive in lairs; and that importers not selling on one market day might hold the cattle over to the next?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGUsaid, in reply that the Privy Council, some days ago, gave directions for the preparation of an Order exactly in accordance with the views of the hon. Baronet. That Order had been passed that day. Any port in future might obtain a licence for an enclosed market for the sale of foreign cattle. The cattle must be killed within six days, and in no case might the cattle leave the enclosed market alive.
