GLANDERS. 
407 
two limited areas, of which Talbot Mews and Colville Mews, 
respectively, may be taken as the centres. In the Colville Mews 
area there are about 60 cases within a quarter of a mile square. 
No case of glanders was reported in any gentleman's stable, 
or livery yard, and the horses affected may be fairly described as 
being of a low class. 
A few illustrations may suffice to show the spread of the 
disease in stables, the dates of slaughtering of farcied horses 
being distinguished by figures in Egyptian characters.

exhibited signs of the disease in your Vestry's stables.J 
* There is ground for believing that several horses had died or been 
slaughtered previously in these stables, the existence of the disease having 
been concealed. 
f At the stables of the proprietor’s father (another omnibus proprietor), 
but in another parish, 44 glandered horses, it is stated, were slaughtered 
in six months, ending February 29th. 
+ Since the report was written, I learn from a return published by 
your Vestry that a case of glanders had occurred in your Vestry’s
