instructions ; they may utilise the skins after disinfection 
under the control of the authority. 
10. Throwing carcases of spleno-apoplectic animals in 
rivers, water-courses, or ditches is, under penalty, prohi- 
bited. 
11. Hides and skins of spleno-apoplectic animals, the 
former only at the slaughter-yards, must be forthwith disin- 
fected by ten hours’ immersion in lime water, and after- 
wards they must be subjected to a six weeks’ drying process 
in a separate room ; without this the sale is prohibited under 
penalty. 
12. The owner must acquaint the police authority with the 
means taken to dispose of the infected carcases. 
13. The slaughterers must give information to the police 
authorities of all spleno-apoplectic animals brought to their 
yards, and keep a register of their disposal. 
14. Swine, dogs, cats, hens, and other animals, must be 
prevented access to localities and places where either spleno- 
apoplectic or the carcases of the same are or have been 
located. 
15. Small sheds or stables where infected animals have 
been located or have died, should be thoroughly cleansed 
and disinfected in accordance with the rules laid down 
by the law. Larger stables and sheds where horses and 
cattle or sheep are, must be totally evacuated, cleansed, 
and disinfected, when one ad hoc (sic) commission con- 
siders it necessary, otherwise with the exception of sheep 
sheds they are subject to a partial purifying and disin- 
fection. 
16. Whether, or in how far, the transit of fodder or manure 
should be interfered with or the traffic of as yet healthy ani- 
mals out of the infected districts, or the transition of healthy 
animals through places where the malady prevails, be re- 
stricted or the postponement of approaching cattle fairs or 
prohibition of them altogether for a time be called for, must 
be left to the decision of the commission. Under ordinary 
circumstances these measures are to be avoided. 
17. These measures are to be strictly observed under 
penalty of the sanitary law in reference to spleno-apoplexy, 
copies of which should be hung up in stables and sheds. 
Recapitulation. 
From the foregoing project of law it will be seen that 
great concessions are made to the proprietors of cattle, viz. : — 
1 . The skinning of sheep by the proprieter is allowed.
