§ MR. CAUSTONasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether information has reached him of the outbreak of cattle disease on a farm near Finchley, to or from which no cattle have been removed for upwards of six weeks; and, if so, whether he can account for the outbreak?
§ MR. DODSONThe only case of foot-and-mouth disease near Finchley 1323 of which we have knowledge is one at Hendon, reported to us on the 26th of April, where six animals were found diseased. The Inspector of the Local Authority believed the introduction of the disease was due to animals recently bought. We ought to have received before now a further Report from the Inspector; but, not having done so, we have telegraphed to him to supply one.
