corporation for the waterside market for foreign animals, means 
would be taken to ascertain the views of those interested in the 
trade, and to insure a sufficient extent of accommodation being 
provided. 
Mr. W. E. Forster replied, that the Act passed last year did not 
make it the duty of the Government to fix on a site, or to say what 
site they considered best. It only enacted that in the event of the 
corporation failing to provide a market before a certain date, the 
Government might undertake the duty themselves. The Market 
Committee of the Corporation had seen Lord De Grey and himself, 
and brought under their notice several sites. A written communi- 
cation had been since made to the Committee, informing them that 
the Lords in Council did not see any reason to object to the site 
ultimately proposed, provided that the area was sufficiently large to 
meet the requirements of the market, and that it would afford the 
necessary wharf accommodation. He had intended to mention the 
site, but as he was informed that the negotiations for its acquirement 
were not completed, he thought he had better not do so. 
REPORT ON THE CATTLE PLAGUE. 
Lord R. Montagu asked the Vice-President of the Committee of 
Council on Education, when the report on Cattle Plague in Great 
Britain, presented on the 22nd of July, 1868, would be delivered to 
members. 
Mr. W. E. Forster said the report was in the hands of the 
printers, and he was anxious that it should be presented as soon as 
possible ; but, owing to great pressure of business in the de- 
partment, the preparation of the appendix had unavoidably been 
delayed.
