114 England's horses, 



men for sale than we can at all imagine. Supplement this 

 by total abolishment of horse-dealers' licence, and the pe- 

 nalizing with the necessity of license Horse Commission 

 Agents, and a very short time, I think, would show the 

 value of any such course of action towards stimulating the 

 horse supply in these kingdoms. 



To avoid misconception, I may observe, I am aware that 

 Horse Commission Agents that keep livery stables have 

 been held to be liable to pay Horse-Dealers' duty, but those 

 who act as Agents, and have no stables, go " scot free," a 

 very premium upon adventure.
