 S. E. Dunham, 



Since our last report your commissioners have continued 

 their investigations and have found their previously-expressed 

 opinion sustained, viz: That the horses of Mr. Mcrwin were 

 glandered. While the general appearance and condition of 

 the liorses has improved, the indications of glanders still ex- 

 ist, and our opinion is based and supported by the authority 

 of the most competent veterinarians in the country who have 

 repeatedly examined them at our request. 



The simple order of .quarantine* was given Oct. 80, 1880. 

 June 23, 1881, we renewed the notice to Mr. Merwin that 

 his horses were glandered, calling his attention to the law, 

 chap. V of the public acts.f

 lic Acts of 1880, page 497, by which it is made your duty to cause said horse to
