"two, kept legally—Le., with a license ; and four Megally

46 eows are kept. Comidinieg that there is a heavy penalty
attached to the keeping cows without a hawse, there
mem gnat slackness in the local atithoritim that they do
not &ores it. Iminding thew in the Strand it appears
that 15,178 cows are nasally kept within the metropolitan
district, to which we suspect 3,000 ought to be added for
the parishes from which no niters he. been received.
In several parishes when the epidemic has pre-
vailed, the numbers are greatly reduced ; thus,
in St. lieryiebese there are only 748, whereas
the usual number is 1,314. The districts in which
the murrain is known to have appeared em—St. Meryl&
is 279 cows ; Holbert, 39; liampetwd, 125; St.
