vith reference to the spread of the disease in this 

 ountry. 



We have before alluded to the causes which have 

 >erpetuated it. They are ignorance of the nature 

 nd symptoms, concealment of its existence, and the 

 ale of sheep from a diseased flock. The removal 

 f these causes will, we imagine, get rid of the evil. 

 To effect the first is the principal object of these 

 remarks, and •< wo deem it 



most advisable that an Act of Parliament should be 

 passed, containing the following provisions .-—The 

 appointment of an inspector by every Board of 

 a shall be paid for by the 

 Board, or from some fund provided by Government, 

 and not by the owner of any diseased or suspected 

 losses will be enough without this ad- 

 ditional burden. The inspector only to be paid when 

 e required. The Act should render it 

 imperative on every flock-master to report to the 

 Board of Guardians the existence, or even the sup- 

 Jl-pox amongst his sheep, 

 and any wilful concealment of such knowledge 

 should be punished by certain penalties, to be re- 

 covered before a magistrate. 

 On the commi mation to the 



inspector shall immediately be directed 

 to examine the flock, and report the state they are 

 in. The most advisable method should then be 

 reference to the flock, the expense of 

 I be defrayed by the Board, unless the 

 I prefer adopting his own course. No 



the farm for the space of 21 days 



las certified that the flock is free from the disease, 

 ■xcept in the case of fat sheep, which may be 

 laughtered on the farm. It may be urged, as an 

 ibjection to this plan, that it inflicts an individual 

 mrdship on the unfortunate person who may be

 ; but, at the same time, it provides such
