CATTLE MARKING. 
House of Commons, July 19 th. 
Sir W. IIarcourt, in reply to Mr. Storer, said, that having regard to 
the professional evidence that the ear-marking of cattle by order of the 
steward of the Duke of Leeds caused great harm and sometimes pro¬ 
duced festering sores, he could not interfere with the fine of 4s. 6d. and 
9s. costs inflicted by the Bedall magistrates.

Mr. Gladstone, replying to Mr. R. Power, who had put a question 
respecting the preparation of grain for feeding cattle in Ireland, said, 
that under the new law the generality of restrictions on the malting of

OBITUARY. —Erratum. 
[In the June number of the Veterinarian, a notice of the death of Mr. 
D. Winton, MR.C.V.S., Enfield, was inserted on the authority of the 
writer of a letter to that effect. We have since learned that the state¬ 
ment was without foundation, and we much regret having been made 
the means of publishing false information, and causing both Mr. Winton 
and his friends so much anxiety.]
