of animals destroyed, but only Rs. 42-8-0 were actually paid to the owners of
two animals and the remaining Rs. 10 were refunded into the Treasury, as the
money order could not be disbursed to the payee on account of his not being
in the place to which he was said to belong.
Rs. 190 were paid last year for six animals that were destroyed under
the Act. Four suspected cases were seized in the Hazara District and handed

were reported, of which none died.
