§ MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHY (Londonderry)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Commission appointed by the present Government to inquire (amongst other things) as to the collection of "tolls" or "custom" on live stock in the different towns throughout Ireland; that it is illegal to charge these "tolls" or "customs" to the purchaser; and that the proper time to collect the tolls is when the animals are going in and not when they are coming out of the market; and whether the Government intend to act on the Report of the Commission, and see that the legal method is carried out?
§ MR. MADDENI understand that the Royal Commission on Market Rights and Tolls have not yet made a Report embodying recommendations in regard to the matters of its inquiry. Such recommendations when received will, of course, have the careful consideration of Her Majesty's Government.
§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)Will the President of the Local Government Board say whether there is any probability of the Commission on Market Rights reporting early?
§ * THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE,) Tower Hamlets, St. George'sI have no information on the subject; but I will make inquiry.
