§ MAJOR SAUNDERSON (Armagh, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, On what grounds compensation was refused to Edward Brady, of Pollabee, in the county of Cavan, for the slaughter of his mare, suffering from glanders, the said mare having been slaughtered in pursuance of an Order of the Irish Privy Council; and, whether some compensation is not due to Edward Brady to recoup him for his loss?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne), in reply, said, that there was no provision in the Orders of Council authorizing the Local Authority to compensate for the slaughter of an animal suffering from glanders, and no sufficient case existed for the alteration of that rule.
