The Cattle Plague.

--

CIIESTER.

The following statement shows the progress of the
disease to the 11th inst. in Cheshire :—Number at-
tacked, 1,779; died, 948 ; killed, 123 ; under treat-
ment, 629 ; recovered, 79. Since the 6th inst. the
disease has shown itself in the following additional
townships :—Bickerton, Buerton, Barthomley, Bad-
dington, Edleston, Gawsworth, Iddenshall, Kinner-
ton, Lea, Little Budworth, Marbury, Minshull Ver-
non, Newton, Shavington, Tarvin, Woodcott, and
Wrenbury, making a total of 81 localities in Che-
shire in which it has appeared to present date ; the
number reported to the 6th inst. was 1,047 attacked,
died, 577 ; killed, 95 ; the increase in the number,
therefore, during the last five days is 732 attacked,
being an average of 146 per diem, and an increase
in the number dead or killed of 399, being an aver-
age of 79 per diem.

LEEDS.
The cattle plague does not appear to be making
much progress in Leeds or its immediate neigh-
bourhood. It is, however, increasing in some
localitigs from 10 to 14 miles from that town.
In the neighbourhood of Tadcaster, Wetherby,
Hazlewood, and the adjoining villages and sur-
rounding farmsteads there have been several fatal
cases within the past and the present weeks. The
magistrates of the Skyrack division of the West
Riding—a division which includes the town of
Aberford and several villages, and comes quite close
to the town of Leeds itself—have issued a notice, in
accordance with the latest Order of the Privy Coun-
cil, forbidding the removal of cattle and sheep to
markets and fairs in that division until the Ist of
March next. This order has excited considerable
opposition, it being generally considered unneces-
sary ; and yesterday a well-attended meeting of
farmers, cattle-dealers, butchers, and others, was
held at the Corporation Hotel, Leeds, at which
several speakers condemned the measure as one that
was fraught with evil. It was contended that even
with respect to the spreading of the cattle plague
itself, the enforcing of the order, and the compelling
the attendance of butchers at farmsteads to pur-
chase cattle, which would afterwards have to be
slaughtered upon the premises at which they were
men specially sent for the purpose, would
b
means of spreading the disease. The
bought
a glikht
likely
speeches were, upon the whole, conciliatory, every
speaker feeling the importance of the subject on
which he was speaking. In the end it was resolved
to send a deputation of seven persons to wait upon
the magistrates in the Skyack division, and repre-
sent to them the views of the meeting.
