TR ATION BILL (SCOTLAND).
Lord CAMPBELL moved the Committal of this Bill
The Bill consequently passed through Committee.
DISEASED SHEEP.

A NOBLE DUKE called the attention of the
House . to the importation into this country of
diseased sheep, which, he said, would destroy
a great many more sheep than the whole
amount of the foreign sheep imported. It was
the duty of the Government to send over some
medical man to Germany, to study the disease, and
make himself acquainted with the remedies employed
to cure it. Custom•house officers knew nothing of
sheep ; they could not tell a diseased sheep from a
sound one, and the disease was dormant sometimes
for a fortnight after the sheep were landed. He there--
fore thought the Government should either prohibit the
importation of sheep for a time, or should take men.
sures to enable the veterinary surgeons of this country
to make themselves acquainted with the curative mea-
sures to be adopted for the cure of this disease. The
Noble Duke concluded by moving for a return of the
number of sheep and cattle imported since the alteration
in the tariff.

Tho Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not called
upon to urgue the merits of air Robert el's taritt; for
which tie rout voted, and of which he approved. He felt
obliged to his Noble Friend for baring drawn the atten-
tion of the House to the existence of this disease in
sheep, because it was of importance that farmers should
be put upon their guard against it, affecting, as it did,
one of the great staples of the country. It was
only during the present year that it had given
any just cause of alarm. Instructions had been
given to examine the sheep that were landed
and in only one instance had it been discovered
that disease existed ; but he was sorry to say
that it had broken out in sheep after they had
landed, and had infected sheep in this country. In-
structions had been issued to the officers of Customs
to keep the whole cargo of sheep in quarantine, in every
casein which there was reason to suppose that disease
existed in any one sheep of that cargo, and
those officers were to be assisted by veterinary surgeons
in forming their judgment.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the
subject then dropped.
BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.

Earl GRANVILLE gave an explanation of the cir-
circumstances respecting the distribution to the news-

Lord BROUGHAM stated that it was his opinion

satisfactory.
