of the cows bed died. and the other six were killed
and buried. Subsequently they Vaud tit more of

statement was correct—Of the fear cowl that
remained, both Mr. Redwood and Mr. Norris said
they exhibited premonitory symptoms of rinderpeet.
sad the magistrates ordered them to be killed and
buried, and they also directed that should the other
two show signs of the plague, they be also destroyed.
After some conversation, it was resolved to declare
an " infected place," on and after May 3rd, the
parishes of ffordington ; Dorchester, AU Salute,
Dorchester, St. Peter; and Dorchester, Holy
Trinity, together with all such portion of the forme
of Hoary Mayo, and &lewd Harris, not in the
parish of Dorchester, Holy Trinity, but adjoining
thereto; and notice was directed to begiven through
the Clerk of the Peens to the Pi ivy Coastal dutch
declaration having been made. It is now, therefore,
not lawful to remove from the aforesaid pariahs' or
farms to any other parish or place any saimals, any
hides, skins, horns, hoofs, or offal of animals, or any
°amass of so animal, or undressed tweet that has
formed part of any bell, bullock, cow, ox, heifer, or
calf, or any dung of animals, or hay, straw, litter,
or other articles kerning the food of or used for, or
about animal..—Mr. Laver, acting of,
the advice
of farmers and othen to the neighbourhood, sent to
i.'rewkerne for Mr. Blake, veterinary surgeon. to PM
his opinion as to the nature of the disease from
which the cows were suffering. That gentleman,
together with hie son, a student at the Veterinary
College, London, arrived in Dorchester by the
10.40 am. train, last Friday morning. Sept
Underwood mot them, and they proceeded to Mr.
Levees berton and examined the four cows remain-
ing alive of the dairy of l& Mr. Blake said he was
quite satisfied that the animals were attacked by the
plague, and that they would soon soorrumb to the
disease. In order, however, to make doubly sure
shout the matter, one of the corn was killed and a
post.mortest examination made Messrs. Redwood,
Norris, and Millers were present, in addition I.
Mr. Blake and hie son. It was found that the
lining membranes of the small intestines and fourth
stomach were greatly inflamed, and all the act,
litiowledged symptoms of the Wagon, were 'WWI,'"
This being the ore, the remaining three cows were
ordered to be killed, and P.S. Viekery, of the
oosat7 ooettolielote, shot them. 'fit. herr beasts
were thee buried in the pit made is costistuttion of
that where the other 14 were deposited. Thum in
00e short week Mr. Liver's dairy of IS cows was
swept sway. The whole of the litter and straw
which had been in coanecticie with the dimmed
cattle has been burnt and the dung pit in the bartoo
sprinkled with vitriol and towered with lime and
earth. The shed and stables have been thoroughly
whitewashed, and chloride of time plentifully be-
sprinkled about the premises, so that we trust all
possibility of spreading the infection bee been put
away. All that remains now to be don* is to maw
-
fort in • practical way sympathy with Mr. Laver
under his serious loss. We hear that it is cootem•
plated to start • sabscriptiou with fhb. view; sad we
cordially commend it to the notice of the gentry and
farmers of the *panty. The lose which Mr. Laver
has sustained represents nearly L3OO, and should be
obtain the fortrilfths remuneration the Cattle Disease
Prevention Act awards for animals slaughtered by
order of the local authority, for the /6 animals
killed, he will still sustain a serious Ion; but, as
there was no "load authority" till 12 of the cows
were slaughtered, it is a matter of eensiderable
doubt whether be will get compensation for more
than four of his cattle. If he be recompensed for
his whole loss, the proceeding will not be strictly
wording to law, but we trust that under the peculiar
circumstances of the ow, the question will not be
regarded too (closely front a legal point of view, and
feel sure that the payers of the sanity rate will not
commuter themselves aggrieved if the magistrates
award Mr. Liver four-fifths for the whole of the

stock he so promptly bad killed, whereby, as we
believe, was prevented Um spreading of tbe plague
throughout Lb* locality.
