SI So the bill was fora Naomi time thrown out.
The Proesoutios Expenses Bill was read a second time.
Os the order for *moldering the Lords' amendments to
e DeAtle Plague Bill, after some discuss on,
Mr. BARING laid Mr. Hunt', bill upon its !stream-
Ilea ormaisted of SE clauses. Of those, one single clause
red is the bill now before the house. (Lotighier.) : other of the original clamor appeared very guilder-
amended, bat they had ao ref emus to any of those
warn' legislative mactinauts relative to the removal of
cattle either up to or after the 235th March. The hoe.
member had complained of the Fabian policy of the govern-
ment at this question, but from the list introduction of
SW bill it had beam the duke of the goyim-
mat to faidJitete the paring of all those parts
which they felt might render it a useful measure.
He would next state the condition of the bill as it hod come
from the House of Lords. Whoa it went up the bill bad
54 clauses ; 24 of those had been stenck out, and 11 new
skean bad been introduced; and the whole of the clauses
which affected the prisoiples seundated by the hoe. num-
ber for Northamptonshire had hem omitted. (Hear, hear.)
In the lords' bill there were many useful clause& The
regulations affecting the cattle plume ought to be known
I. all pewees interested throughout the country, for mama
they were kw we they might be tamed into a gigantic
eppression. The hide interest and the health of
towns were matters for important consideration.
As the bill at present stood it would be &bee-
necessary to issue orders in council to provide for
sibmg whisk parliament bad omitted to do. He was
aers=red to shit* that the government were willing to
the reepondbility of providing a measure. He
would Bust state that the government was dermas of
pireerthenieg the authority of the Privy Oonnoil-office es re-
promoted by his right hon. friend (Mr. Brace) ; and be could
not mention this matter without tertifying ao the great
elality sad industry of Mr. Helps, and of all three who
were ie the department wider him. (Hem.) Next, the r-
virommt wield undertake to provide regulations reopening
Lin and markets. Next the government would deal with
the sale of fat cattle and the slaughtering of them ; sad
lestly, they would provide regulations for preventing the
agreed of the disease in noo-affeated places. He thought
is might be [mad that most of these regolarime might
be framed and carried out as ordain in council. Regale-
thee would also be made for the cleansing of railway
tracks. An order in council would at mice be issued for
that purpose. (Mar, hoer.) Under thus circumstances, he
hoped the hon. member would abandon the further press-
weeks of hie and leave the matter io the bands

• Mr. HUNT wog *cued to lad that the government
easeld undertake the responsibility of this question, but
tie house bad only heard of that within the last ten
minutes. He differed from the hon. Under Secretary of
Agile when he mid that his (Mr. Hint's) exertions had
been unsuccessful, far he believed it was through the great
ersertiess of his bee. Meads and himself that the govern-
ment had at last promised to do thee duty. He would
assede to the proposition of the government, sod hoped they
wield deal wish the matter in a spirit befitting the occasion.
Sir G. GREY said it would be quite Impossible to pre-
pare a code which should apply to the whole of the emus.
try. Thera must be some variations to meet circumstances.
Mr. READ thought the propoeitios of the government
'was the alternative reoemmended by the Cattle Plague
Commission ; and if the government bad adopted it in No-
vember, the country would probably not now be afflicted
with the cattle plague. He hoped the government would

the farming interest bad so department in the government
which could attired to and relieve it when in distress.
(Hear, hear.)
The amendment was then speed to.
