§ MR. THOMSON HANKEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether dog licences taken out at the beginning of next year, at 7s. 6d. each, would expire in the June following, as he thought such was the interpretation of the Act?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he understood that the dog licences would be issued for the usual 1450 year, as heretofore; those taken out before the 1st of June would hold good for the year, and those taken out after the 1st of June would hold good for the remainder of the current year—namely, till 31st December. He believed that would be the case, but he would look into the Bill for the purpose of ascertaining the fact.
