killed. On the same day he sold the remaining ten to a dealer, 
and, after passing through two or three hands, they again came 
into this neighbourhood. Mr. F., of U., not more than two miles 
distant from Mr. G., bought them and turned them into his yards 
with his cows, &c. On the 6th of October, the two I have men- 
tioned above, as being infected, were severely attacked, and died in 
a few days. 
The dealer who sold them to Mr. F. took the others back, and 
sent them to Norwich market, and sold them; but it was after- 
wards discovered that a cow and heifer which had been with them 
in the yards were infected ; the cow being attacked on the 25th, 
and the heifer on the 29th of October. They, however, eventually 
recovered. 
Case VI. — Mr. C — , of U — , bought six two-year-old Devon 
steers of a dealer early in September 1843. They were turned 
upon a piece of aftermath. They were all observed to have a 
short dry cough : still they improved in condition up to October the 
8th, when one was attacked with pleuro-pneumonia, and on the fol- 
lowing day the other five were become ill. They were all severely 
attacked. T wo died, and the rest recovered. They have been at grass 
all the summer, and are now excellent beef. 
Case YII. — Mr. N — , of Y — Hall, bought of a dealer at Nor- 
wich, October 7th, 1843, five short-horn bullocks, who were look- 
ing healthy and very fresh. In the following week he lost one, 
that lived only a few days after he was attacked; the others were 
frequently hoosing. He had them all killed by the butcher, and 
the right lung of all was found much diseased. 
Case VIII. — S. G — , Esq., of T — , bought at Norwich twenty 
three-year-old Scots in good condition. In the latter part of No- 
vember two of them died very suddenly of this disease, and, a few 
days afterwards, six others were attacked. One died, and the rest 
recovered. None of them had any communication with the other 
stock upon the farm ; but, by accident, after the third beast was 
flayed, two of the cows and a heifer strayed into the place, and 
smelt at the skin and carcass, and very soon became almost frantic. 
They were kept apart from their companions, and, fifteen days after- 
wards, one of the cows was attacked with pleuro-pneumonia. On 
the twentieth day the heifer, and on the thirty-first dav the other 
cow, became ill. The last died, but the other two recovered. 
Case IX. — Mrs. B — , of A — , purchased of a dealer, in No- 
vember, six short-horn steers. About three weeks afterwards 
two of them were attacked. The first died, and the other was 
slaughtered. A cow and heifer that were tied up in an adjoining 
house became infected, and the cow, after a very protracted illness, 
died.
