Mr. Liptonasked the Attorney-General if he will institute proceedings against officials of the Devon and Somerset staghounds for cruelty in shooting a stag and then cutting its throat on the beach at Porlock last month after local fishermen had rescued it from the sea into which it had been hunted.
