premises, and had contracted largely to supply grains,
usatere, to., and was hound by his undertaking. The
pleas he occuyied had Wu a eowsbed for half a century.

wore a great number of sows there, end they appeared in
good health. He should sop the number them was not
prrjadiedal to the health of the neighbours There was nothing
prejudicial in the breath of cows, although kept is great
nienilien. He considered the dung not likely to be injurious',
if removed is proper time. If food was brought in daily
and dispeeed of, it would not be prejudicial to health. Se
fowl the rate of mortality in cowlieepers sad milk sellers

mask below the average, sad went into statistics to prove
it. Be added, that if they caused by their breath or
salmis anything offensive to the eeighbserhood, they
tbeestelha would be the list to feel it, and suffer ac-
cordingly.
