THE CATTLE PLAGUE OEDEMA-CONVICTION OF A RAILER

SZCILITABT.
Mr. Frederick Clarke, the secretary of the South
Western Railway Company, was summoned by Inspector
Armstrong, for that he did on the 24th of April last, un-
lawfully move upon the South Western Railway seven Ist
oxen from the metropolis—to wit, from Nineolzes to
Kingston-upon-Thames, in contravention of an order in
council dated the 24th of March, 1866.
The secretary did not appear, but he was represented by
Mr. Crombie, the law clerk of the company.
Mr. Superintendent Butt attended on the part of the
commissioners to support the summons.
Mr. Crombie then explained that the cattle had been
removed under • misapprehension on the part of the oilers
of the company, who were entitled to carry from the
cattle market. He bad • certificate stating the the
cattle were perfectly sound, and also for their
removal to their railway. The company's officers fas Old
that the metropolis meant the metropolitan police
and it appeared that the boundary of their hne
at Barnes. This was the first case of the kind, sad under
the circumstances he pleaded guilty, and asked far the
infliction of a nominal penalty.
Mr. Butt said there had been a mistake. The office d
the Cattle Market had misinformed the drover. As con
as he (Mr. Butt) found it out he sent to the Cattle Market,
and stopped the practice.
Mr. Dayman said mistakes were committed every del
by persons who did not seem to read the general ordsra
which said that no cattle should be removed from the
metropolis.
This led to an argument between Mr. Crombie
and t 4
magistrate, who held that the metropolis was like s Usl%
Once the cattle entered the metropolis there was MO PO°
to remove them out. Mr. Crombie said the companywel
constantly removing cattle to Portsmouth, for the gem**
ment, to Southampton and other places, where there no
power to receive them.
Mr. Dayman thought the company wove wrong. He
said that he understood it was intended to enlarge the arse
coextensive with the Metropolitan Police district. At pre
sent the orders acted rather hard upon the butchers 140
were just outside the boundary, as there was not sufficient
accommodation in the metropolis for the alaughterof cattS•
lie then fined the company 20a., and 2s. ousts.
