The CHAIRMAN said the first bugloss, wee to learn
What the boroughs bad decided to do with respect to
uniting with the county for cattle plague porpoise.
The Otani of the Peace stated that the boroughs
of Weymouth and Meloombe Regis sod Bridport
only had ;Oven the prescribed Doti** of their inten-
tion to unite with the county; from the Town Clerk
of Dorchester be bad a letter stating that the notice
would be ordered to be published at the next meeting
of the teapot!, on the 7th of May and the clerk of
Shaftesbury borough wrote that they had not
inserted • notion me yet, because they were waiting
to see *bat other boroughs did --(laughter.)
The Clistinisn observed that the county in-
wectors were now ipso facto the inspectors for
Weymouth and Mcloombe Regis and Brport. The
position of the other boroughs was not satisfactory.
They had no inspectors of their own, end the county
inspectors could not be sear them. If those places
were to spread the rinderpest through the county by
their tardy 'tenni, the Court (Might to have some
mean* of indicting them—(hear, bear.) His lord-
ship proceeded to remark that 111000 the ISA lineal:
of the Court, an Act had been passed which
that the Orders sad regulations already published
by the Privy (looped ire to be proved by the produc-
tion of the Loodost Garotte or • °opt of the Order
printed by the Queen's pmts., and that the Orders
of local authorities are to be proved by producing •
newspaper containing the Order, or by • printed
copy declared by the Clerk of the Pews to be • true
copy. With regard to so infected place, the pro-
duction of the Order of the local authorities declaring
it such, is sufficient for all purposea
The Cimix OF rite Peace read the following

bourhood. _ _

I Ain, Sir, your obedient itervant,
Benoit & Cox,
Inepostor-Goietral of Gine, and
Chief Constable of Dorset.
To the Chairman ot the adjoented danions.

The CHAIM tif said the out business wee very
important—it was as to giving power to Colonel Col
and the inspectors to grant lwenses and certificates
on the part of the "loon! authority," that was, the
Court. He thee read through the casti in the
Privy Council OM*: dated 24th March, in gorillas,
viz.,
.16, 21, 23. 24, end 31.

eolcMal 00i wanted the sergeants to be empowered
to_give certificate*.
'Tim Cum:Bumf asked if the inrgeants were MOO Of
OOffiOlOet Intelligence and education to be entrusted
with mob power.
Mr. GOODDIJI remarked that a sergeant could call
in • butober to his assistanee if be thought name-
vary,
The CHAIRMAN thought he could not do that, if
thejorio l.iiris power to act of himeelE
I Colt Alerted that not only meat, but bay,
, emild but be Moved from Glickman
without permits.
The CillAl/JIAN said the removal of hay or straw
could not be so immediately requisite as to make it
more difficult than the cirmunetanom warranted. He
feared that treating to the sergeants seemed rather
like trusting to • broken reed. He did not doubt
their integnty for a moment, but he felt that they
were liable to pressure.
. . . . . .

Colonel Coi said he had entire faith in the
sergeant at Cbickerell that be would not allow the re-
moval of anything be belieted to be dangerous.
Strattizt.P said the Chickerell sergeant wm •
very good and Intelligent ofiker.
Colonel COI said that the contractor for supplying
meat to the Government works at Portland lived at
CkickerelL He recently bad £lOO worth of meet
there, and asked him for a permit to remove it, but
he told him he oould not greet one. Tbe contractor
then asked the penalty, and, on being told, said he
must run the risk. Now there was an informatioe
laid against him.
'I he CHAIRRIAR suggerted that the licences In an
infected place might he signed either by a magiitrite
living in the division, or by the Inspector-General,
or by a superintendent
Mr. li, WILLIAM! and the ROT. G. V. GARLAND
remarked that the magistrate* would be plead in •
(faculty for they would have to be guided by what
they were told.
The Ctratestan said that of worse they would not
sign a permit wilds they frets dithiffed of the bona
Ades of the applicants.
Mr. G•HLAND suggested that previDnaly to asking
for a magistrate's signature, the certificate of cattle
I inspectors should be required.
The CHAIRMAN remarked this applied only to an
infected district, and he thought it most desirable
that they should not multiply the number of people
sent there. Ti they required two large farmers of
the neighbottrbood to certify, pretioes to granting a
permit it would pronably be asking whit they **old
not pet, for so man his/Wises erould go into an
infected place, and ran the risk of taking the disease
back to his up---herd. Bull, before signing, the
magistrathaWd require any evidence he thought
PrlfrO•ntraip: And I RaPpOIN DO OntanatlDLlV Can
issue for neglecting to sign one ?—(laughter).
It was resolved that any magistrate of •
division in whisk an infected place has been declared,
or the Inspector-Osmere, or an investor being •
superintendent of a division, be authorised to glee !
the several licensee mentioned in aIIIMPO 17.
A resolution empowering the luspector-Oeneral
and the siiperiateedente of divisions to , grant
lioenses for dirtying into effect clauses 16, 21, 23,
24. and 31 of the Privy Council Order, dated 24th
March, sod those odicials and also the sergeants to
give Homes for the removal of fat stock under the
mate Order, wee agreed to with two dissentients
Liget -Col. Steward and Mr. M. Williams.

Tbe CHAIILK•II called the attention of the Court
to tlw fact that dealers buy cattle in Hampshire, my
at Baaingstoke, and with the order of • Hants
magistrate bring them to Dorset--may Bbillinotone,
and them wetter them all over the wont?, contrary
to law. It was • matter that required the greatest
vigilanos on the part of the police Therein& •
story that cattle hid been moved from the Yeovil
district to Dorset. If that were so, and • Somerset
magistrate certified that the cattle were not from an
infected place, and it turned out they were Nen an
infected plate, he thought the Court should inquire
into the matter.

--Mr-racilii-n-i" sold the sass referred towa ewe is
which • large number of aoistals—cows, sheep, ko.,
were removed from Hardington. Somerset, to stook
• farm at Hook, Dorset. Madinat= wee very mar
Yeovil, but it was not a "proclaimed" parish.
The Chanties mid he thoeght it right that
before cattle were seat into Dorset front another
wanly, the magistrates here should know of Ilea
coming, and have some power over them to hesatielled
they might come in without sadangerieg the nettle
of the county. If the Court were of the wee opinion,
he would conanuniaste with the Privy Council on
the subject—(mer. bear). He also referred to the
circumstance that some permss having permits to
take cattle to • certain point, stopped short of it.
This be thought might be fraught with danger, yet
be feared they 00uM not patriot a pore= who did so.
The Court cordially agreed with his lordshitoulabt
approved his suggestion to write to the Privy
on the .abject.
