An application was read from the Town Council of
Weymouth for the Court to mernimmid to the
Privy Cour.eil the setting apart of • portion of
the port of Wermouth for the lending of foreign cattle,
The site proposed islhos described.—Tbe quay on the
north, or Ilieleombe Regis side of the harbour from
Portland buildings to East-street, from thence along
Helen.lane, an I St. Edmond's-street to the bvidge,
Including the Millibar to the south thereof. and the
quay on the moth or Weymouth side of the harbour,
front Cove-street. along and through High-street to
Jockey's-row, and the buildings to the north thereof.
Mr. littlehales: Do you know what provision there
Is for housing the cattle?
Mr. Edwards: They say nothing about that.
Mr. Littlehales: It's no use restricting the landing
at a certain place, if the cattle are allowed to go to
every part ef the town directly.
Mr. Edwards: Under the 42n4 section they are not
allowed to be removed Mice from the defined part,
except there is en order of Council referring speeifimlly
to that port, which is not the case with Weymouth.
- Mr. °madden: That is a very good thing.
Rome conversation tcok place as to the site of the
Wermouth slaughter-houses and whether there were
any she le for housing cattle attached to them, when Mr.
Eimer, in answer to the Court, amid the slaughter-
houses were on the Wsymouth side, and had
bat small sheds adjoining them, indeed some none
at all ; Messrs. Boonton's can the largest. There were
butcher.' shops on the Meleombe Regis side, but no
places for housing cattle. Alderney, cattle were generally
taken to the yards attached to the Fox inn, and the
Bear inn.
Mr Littlehales said that part was not proposed to be
inoluded.
Mr. Elwards reed the 46th and 47th sections of the
Cattle Diseases Prevention Act which authorises
the local authority to provide proper places for the
bossing of foreign cattle so landed.
Mr. I.ittleheles : So if the butchers have not got
sufficient accommodation for the cattle, we have power
to provide it.
Mr. Worry: it is compulsory.
The Chairmen I suers. the Privy Council issue
instructions a. to dealing with snob cattle.
Mr. Edwards raid no doubt full and strict regulations
were made.
The Chairman said it ee,used all they had to do was
to suhnot the proposal with the defined place to the
Privy C iuceil and say so far as they knew, it was or
was not a proper regulation.
Mr. E ear reolied, yea: the onus of carrying out
OP regulations was thrown upon th • Privy Council.
Mr. Littleheles rem.rtted th.t cattle from the
channel islando were ex, rooted from the provisions of
the C•ttle Dieemes Prevention Act. The only dangle' at
present existing was from the importation of fordgo
cattle: there was no renew. why there thould not be
free circulation of cattle in this country. He asked if
many foreign cattle used to be hroeght to Weymouth.
The Chairman said Mitre had been a good number
at different times: he recollected a lot of Spanish or
Portuguese cattle landed there.
Mr. floodden said if foreign cattle were allowed to be
brought in no doubt Mr. Laver would soon write and
hoe-, a supply there.
Ultimately it was resolved to defer any action upon
this subject till the Qsarter Sessions.
