MISCELLANEA. 
IMPOUNDING OF CATTLE.—DEFECT IN THE ACT. 
At the Banbury Petty Sessions, last week (September 
30th), the district surveyor having summoned several persons 
whose cattle he had impounded, with a view to recover the 
penalty of £3 in each case, it was discovered that the amended 
Act of last session, while enacting that the owner of stray 
cattle should be liable to fine, had entirely repealed the only 
clause in the old Act which gave authority for impounding 
them, and had omitted to re-enact it. The cases were, con¬ 
sequently, dismissed. 
OBITUARY.
