On the mot ion that this Bill be read a third time, a
Lord G. BCNTINCK said it was not often he had to a
compliment the Government; at any rate he had seldom •7
..-• the pleasure of thanking the Board of Trade; but, on t
..-- . behalf of the farmers of England, he begged to thank the c
Right Honourable Gentleman for this Bill. If there
.... was one thing on which the Right Hon. Baronet the i
....
.... Member for Tamworth used to self-glorify himself more
...., 'than another, it was the adoption at his instigation of t
10 the principle of free-trade.—(Hear, hear.) Looking at (
..--- this, and the free trade opinions entertained by the Go- I
...-- - vernment, ho was glad to see the Government now coming 1
... • forward with a measure of prohibition. And why did ,
..-- they do so? Because their free-trade measures had 1
.... been the means of bringing into the country a foul and
... contagious disease, which they had been told by the ;
.... iloisourable Member for Westbury had afflicted
.... the flocks of Germany for many years; and '
also ,by the Government Inspector, that it was un- '
Of.) r known in England until September last, and that it bad
afflicted flocks from twenty-five to eighty per cent. ;
10, 06 , - . that Mrs. Larpent bad lost eight score of sheep in
' ' four days, and the Marquis of Westminster 1,800.
O
!A' He begged to thank the Government, therefore,
O. ,
W.- for this first .step towards the repeal of their free-trade
measures. Se hoped it would nut be the last measure
uebeC" .
r sooV for the repeal of the obnoxious enactment of free trade,
. which had accomplished so much mischief.
sg" Mr. LABOUCHERE said any compliments from the
Noble Lord were so rare, that they had a very agreeable
Sony` sound to his ears. In bringing forward this measure
the Government had no intention to depart from the
14th' free-trade principles which they had adopted. He
Ile° thought no free-trader would say that its principles
0--of
were to be carried the extet of admitting diseased
animals, should th fie enter this country.—(Hear.) The
• 38" , Government hoped to be enabled—by the assistance of
Isr6l4' their consols abroad, and custom-house officers at
;hio°4 how, to prevent the disease spreading into
OA , this country 'to a greater extent than it
NO' ' bad snore effectually than could be done by any
WO' Act of Parliament. He believed innoculation was the
only th ing that: could prevent:. the spreading of the
to °II disease, except the absolute prevention of the importation
lebef of sheep.

eyed' The HON. GENTLEMAN stated that there was another
fro° Mill, which gave the Government the power of confis-
, 00d • eating the sheep brought to our shores in a diseased
are° state..
