DEPUTATION TO THE HOME.OFFICE.
Yesterday afternoon the Lord Mayor had an
Istarview wish Mr. Waddiegtos. H
onshi was seem-
psaied by the followieg deputation fr the Markets god
°std. Plague Committees :—Mr. Gibbing, chairmen of the
Made* Osaunittee ; Mr. Webber, Mt. Gower, Mr.
beemesr, Mr. Haute, sad Dr. fiords, the medical abet
of Math foe Botanaligreen.
The Law Marcia, in °graduals, the deputation, said
that their object wee to obtain the sanotion of goveruniset
110 the estabaishmeat of hospitals or ematoriums within the
metropolitan districts, to which diseased cattle could be ear
myed from the cow sheds, is order that they might
retake mediae! treatment, Led be, if omeible, restored to
health. He observed that/similar establiahments had bees
feciesd at Ediebergh sad other large towns, sad that they
bid been found so work moat satisfactorily, not only la
espetuting the dimmed cattle from those which were ado-
bated, but is aff «dins facilities to the medical profeedoe
to exercise their skill and knowledge under ciremastaacen
ramie favourable to a fair trial of both than they could ex-
po* to find is crowded cow sheds, way of which were is
a filthy oonditioa sad badly ventilated. He pointed out
progress the plague had made and wee still making in
the metropolis, sad how Its influsam upon the price of
meat and milk was affecting all chasm of the oottiminity.
The difficalties, he said, of adequately meeting the
amen aities of the case were at presses very
peat, sad some of those °omitted is the alleged
fibpailty of slaughtering diseased animals without an
Wm from a magistrate, aad also the illegalily
removing those diseased from the raw sheds to the hos-
pitals, Rippe.* the latter to mist. Bet be hoped the
goremment, who had no doubt well considered a subject of
me vast importaaos, would speedily do sway with those
difficulties, and reader the fullest aid to the Markets Can-
tata* and Metropolitan Cattle Magee Committee, who
were noomaingly dermas( their time and Woollen to
mitigate sod, it possible, put a mid to the evil. At primal,
biweveif the object of the deputation was limited to that of
°Waive the amotion of the german:sot to the establish-
ment of the hospitals or euatorituns. This wee as object
whisk bad not only received the peered approval of the
two committees mentioned, bat elm of the mediosl profes-
sion ; sod he might add—what it was by no memos unim-
portant to beer on mind—that the cowkeepers themselves'
and the salcomee of the Cattle.market were also in favour

of G.
Mr. GIBBINS and the several members of the deputation
onreborated what had fallen from the Lord Mayor. and
*wily advocated the nemesity of having the hospitals
speedily established.
RUDLIN called the attention of Mr. Waddingtoe to
the fact that the day before there were fourteen dimmed
ewes seised at the elaughterhoine of the Oatthernarket
'which bad bees seat there from the now sheds of the me-
tripoli& He argued that this in itself was a proof that the
order in evened as at peanut canted out was insufficient to
prevent diseased mows from being mut from the cow sheds
by their owners to be slaughtered for human food.
WADDI2IGTOS said be would take an early (swarth.
.My of commuoicitiog with Sir George Grey upon the mah-
jong ; sad in the meantime be wished the depatatioa to for-
ward to kin their views in writing for tisaamissioe to she
Home Swnetarl.
The deputation promised to comply
with the suggestion,
and thanked Mr. Waddiartin for the courtesy with which
be had received and the patience with which he had
treed to them.
The interview lasted upwards of three-quarters of an boor.

The following document has been received at
lb Foreign-ales from her Majesty's meat and consul-
general at Bucharest :—" General Dirsatios of the Sanitary
Bevies.—Frog the let to the 15th July a typhus egiscoty

still cootiones, but is out the dearer& The dirsetiou in
eoasequeoce publishes the above far the teformation of
those ooncerned.—The Director-Genera, D. Gwen."

At the police-court, on Tuesday, before Mr.
Bruer,ley, stipendiary magistrate, Mr. J. Smith atteeded
ea behalf of Mr. Curnock, comae butcher, Gloucester-
sheet. to make as application reepeoting the seizure by Mr.
Parker (firm of Heat and Parker, veterinary surgeons, the
newly-appointed inspectors for the borough) of two cows
beiregiog to the applicant, said to have bees affected
with the dingoes sow prevalent 11010114 cattle.
Mr. Smith mid it appeared that the bouts were seen by
Mr. Parker, wh appeared to have the absolute control of
mils
beasts andd
sending them away, without any leveed-
eaUm beyond that which be himself thought proper to make.
Relied evidence to prove that they were not suffering from
alone of any desoriptios. His application was for permis-
sion foe two medical men to take different portions of the
besets, which ho believed had been destroyed, is order to
invent them, and make such experiments that a thorough
investigation might be made. The impeder of Reissues '
for the borough was so digested that he out • pier* off the
WOW and ate it raw.
Mr. Kyasereley did not think be hail any jurisdiction is
the matter. He was of opinion that the application should
he mods before the Borough lespeetion Committee.
Mr. Hebbert (Magistrates' Clerk), said it would corns
wader the juriedietioa of the magistrates if under the ordi-
nary law for exposing bad meat, but it would not come
osier their jurisdiction is the present case.
Ilk. Smith believed the appoistosest of inepsetore was
toads at the request of the Market and Fairs Committee.
Mr. liebbert—They we. appointed prelude,.
Mr. Kyusereley was informed of the seizure on the pre-
vious day when he came tato court.
Mr. Smith said that in consequesee of their irresponsible
power, butchers might have 301., 401., end 601. worth seized.
If he were allowed to cell Mews. Bolen, Gough, and
Schofield, Alderman J. W. Cutler (who was trumpet is
mart) weld not hesitate to bring the matter before the
Tows Conseil. He only proposed to go into the gaieties]
whether the meat was diseased or not, and to have the two
Deese eternised. What the butchers wanted was that the
matter should be inquired into lib first, MD that quarrel and
litigation. which would otherwise occur, should be pre-
vested. There were several gentlemen preseot who had had
won suerissee than Mr. Parker, and one—Mr. Schofield
—bad sees more 'acute than Mr. Parker could same at say
ported in his Life. He inked for this messedf defeat" in
yaw of another aptliostion being made to the unit.
Mr. Hymarelay said be had not power to compel Mr.
Parker to show the carcases of the beasts. When be was
informed of the seizure, he said it would be better to
destroy them et once.
Mr. liebbert—Have you asked Yews. Hest and Parker
for them ?
Mr. Smith said they had been asked, but Mr. Parker.
amussieg his dogmatical opinion, would Dave it dogmatically
carried out.
Mr. Kyneeteley said it was clear be could not eompel
them to comply with the request.
Mr. Smith—lt is irresponsible power without remedy.
The proceed** than terminated.—Bireeng/eint Pea.
