The object of the i anti-grazing agitation was to force j the sales of land.at prairie value. ] Lord Denman's remark that cattle driving was not a crime of a very serious nature was severely criticised. The Earl of Crewe explained that Lord Denman did not intend to minimise such criminal disorderly acts, but merely argued that driving was less serious than maiming cattle. Lord Ripon declared that the Government was determined to put into operation all the powers of the law they possessed. The Daily Chronicle says that Lord Denman's remark was not very judicious. Driving may be used very effectively as a means of intimidation, and lead to serious disorder.
