§ MR. JAMES O'CONNORI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can state by what authority and for what reason cattle sent from Irish ports are prohibited from landing at the Port of London, although up till about thirty years ago such landing was permitted.
§ MR. AKERS DOUGLAS (for Mr. LONG)There is no prohibition, so far as I am aware, against the landing of cattle from Ireland in the Port of London, but they could not, of course, be brought to the Deptford Foreign Animals "Wharf, which is devoted exclusively to the reception of foreign animals.
