 you would be able to have more control over the (

drop upon a buyer at any moment, but if the latter 

 has to go to the policeman he would first adjust 

 his register and feathers. There would not be 

 any harm possibly in saying that a man before he 

 leaves a district must show his book and feathers 

 to the police. He ought to notify them before he 

 leaves a district to see his book, counterfoils and 

 feathers ; that is to say, if he is travelling about 

 the country. 



317. The travelling buyers are the people who 

 give all the trouble, and it is the aim of this Bill 

 to try to stop it ? Yes. But there are not always 

 opportunities of getting the police in a district. 

 For instance, if a buyer were travelling through 

 the Cradock district /and was at Quagga's Hoek 

 just before getting into the Graaff-Reinet district, 

 has he got to go all the way back to Cradock to 

 show his book ? Of course, if there were police in 

 every ward, it might do. I do not know much 

 about the Cape Police, but I doubt if there are.
