§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDEI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to a resolution unanimously passed at an important meeting of butter merchants from the South of Ireland, recently held at Limerick Junction, in which they complain of the ill-treatment of packages of Irish butter by the carrying companies, and call upon these companies to take such precautions as will ensure the delivery of Irish butter in England in as good a condition as foreign butters; and "whether he will bring the matter to the attention of the Railway and Steamship Companies concerned, so as to secure the proper carriage of Irish butter?
§ Ms. MUNDELLANo, Sir; I have not received any complaint in the matter referred to by the hon. Baronet. If any substantial grievance is brought under my notice. I will communicate with the Railway and Steamship Companies concerned, but consignors have ample remedies against carrying companies who ill-treat their merchandise.
