tion of the opposed adjourned petition of the Isle of Wight

THE IRISH CATTLE Titans. —Much misconcep-
tion has arisen relative to the recent Council order which
prohibits the movement or the exportation from Ireland
of any cattle or sheep affected with foot and mouth dim-
ders, or sheep affected with scab or foot rot ; also the ex-
posure in fairs or markets of cattle affected with lung
du-
ease. A oonteinporary suggests that government should
be urged to revoke those restrictions, and represents thou
as likely to injure the cattle trade. Without doubt, the
export branch is the principal resource of this country.
The number of cattle exported to Great Britain last year
amounted to 541,413, all of which were accompanied with
certificates of their being perfectly free from disease, no
matter of what nature. The English authorities declieed
to allow the landing of Irish cattle unless anima-
ponied with • clean bill of health. They, there-
fore, got a Council order to that effect passed
by the Privy Council in London, in the coo,
meneement of October Ishii,. Finding portal etami-
nations of exported cattle not only caused delay, but a 1..,
pressed heavily on funds which were collected solely from
the Irish poor-law unions, the Irish executive propo.ol
the abolition of portal cattle inspection, to which the go-
vernment authorities in London would not consent, unless
there were, coeval with doing away with portal inspection
in Ireland, some other regulations mule that would ensure
infectionsly-diseased cattle from being exported from Ire-
land to Great Britain, u was the care before the issuing oi
the English Council order. Accordingly, the Irish Friry
Council was coinpellcd, in behalf of the intermits of the
Irish cattle traders, to issue the order which now forms 1
subject of complaint. Its revocation would but induce the
reimposition of much more embarrassing restrictions by
the authorities in England. It, however, we think, would
be desirable to modify it in such • way as to prevent its in-
teefering with the movement of cattle or sheep that b<-
came diseased in transit, or while in a market or fair, sr

Id April, 1866, under sentence of two years' imprisonment
and hard labour for uttering bass coin. She complained
of illness, and admitted that she had been in the habit of
swallowing base coin to avoid detection. The medical
officer had no doubt that the corrosive quality of the coin
had produced epileptic fits, which terminated in her
death, after nearly two years' illness. A verdict was re-
turned in aocordance with. the facts stated.
