HC Deb 28 June 1909 vol 7 cc193-4W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether his attention has been called to a recent case in which the Belfast Corporation confiscated five cows which the owner had purchased for £60, and refused any compensation, and the owner, as the result of proceedings, was awarded £30 and £70 costs; and whether the Department would issue instructions to local authorities as to the position created by the result of this case?

Mr. T. W. RUSSELL

This matter has not arisen under the Acts administered by the Department of Agriculture.
