HC Deb 04 May 1888 vol 325 c1369
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether the decision of the Divisional Court, consisting of Mr. Justice Wills and Mr. Justice Field, that the contract in the case of "Sterry v. Masters" was not an agistment, will apply to cases of graziers on the Barking and Purfleet Marshes, in Essex?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.) ,

who replied, said: In answer to the hon. Member's Question, I have to state that the decision in "Sterry v. Masters" will not, in my opinion, apply to graziers in the Barking and Purfleet Marshes unless they have entered into an agreement to the same effect as that which was discussed in that particular case.
