9. Healthy. 



10. I attribute the healthy state of my cattle partly to the fact of the timber having been 

 killed some j'cars a;^o, partly to the cattle always having been in good condition, the 

 land never having been overstocked ; many of my neighbours' cattle have died of the 

 disease on my laud and among my own cattle. Not having had any of my owa 

 cattle inoculated, I c^m only state that my neighbour's cattle appeared to me to die in: 

 as great numbers after inoculation as before, a result which may have been occa- 

 sioned by their having been operated on during a wrong stage of the disease. Withi 

 reference to compulsory inoculation, such a law to l)e of any real value ought to be' 

 universal, — a measiu'e clearly impracticable, from the number c>f wild cattle in almost 

 every district, which constantly mix with the quiet herds. 



11. I should certainly object to any Act being passed with the above intention.

10. I held a large herd of cattle running in this neighbom-hood up to about seven year.'; 

 ago, since which period it has rapidly disappeared, partly from straying iii dry 

 seasons and not being recovered, to a small extent from plcuro-pneumonia or other 

 disease, but principally from being driven off and stolen ; my herd sharing the fate if 

 previous other heids formerly running in this neighbourhood. Stime few cattle are 

 d3'iiig at present. 



11. Compulsory inoculation would be difScult to carry out. In almost every instance in 

 this part the cattle became affected and die before the owner is aware of it, if he ever 

 is. The few cattle left in this district may be best designated as straggling lots.

9. In store condition, good health, and free of disease. 



10. Have seen cattle after recovering from inocidation take the disease and die ; cannot 



say whether they had been pi-operly inoculated or not. 



11. No, as I do not believe in it either as a cure or a preventive.

9. Healthy and good condition. 



10. Slight symptoms in one slaughtered in August, 1869. 



11. Yes, I do. 



190. 



10. The disease called pleuro-pneiimonia has never been amongst my cattle, nor do I think 



it can be said that it ever has been on the . About two years ago a few 



working bullocks died on the upper part of the , but from what cause it was 



not clearly ascertained ; it was supposed by some to be pleuro-pneimionia. 



11. I do not think it necessary that an Act should be passed obliging owners to inoculate 



their cattle, as I am under the belief that the disease will die out in a few vears.
