I beg to move, in page 6, line 16, to leave out "fresh and cured."

This is a drafting amendment to make it clear that the board shall have power to buy and sell all forms of herring, and not merely fresh and cured herring. These two classes would be too narrow, especially in view of the proposed amendment to Clause 14, which responds to a general desire of the House that we might define cured herring.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 6, line 22, after "stocks," insert "of cured herring".

In line 23, leave out "for sale by them", and insert: with a view to the sale for export thereof by the Board.

In line 34, after "sales", insert "for export".—[Mr. Elliot.]
