§ Amendments reported (according to order).
§ THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Earl SPENCER)said, he had two Amendments to propose which he regretted were not in print, and which he had undertaken to bring up when the Bill was in Committee. The first was intended to prevent the confusion which had arisen in certain counties with regard to Orders for the removal of cattle in different Petty Sessional districts; but it would not curtail the powers of the Local Committee, which were so important for dealing with outbreaks of cattle disease. The second Amendment gave to Local Authorities the power of charging upon owners of ships wrecked on the coast the cost of burying cattle that were cast up on the shore. Several cases had occurred in which expense was thrown upon a locality, and in which there was no doubt as to the ship of whose cargo the animals had formed a part.
§ Further Amendments made; Bill to be read 3a To-morrow; and to be printed, as amended. (No. 153.)
