MR. VERNERsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether he has received any information from the Registrar General, or other authority, with regard to the very fatal disease, called in the newspapers "Black Death," which has of late been prevalent in the neighbourhood of Dublin?
LORD NAASI have, Sir, received information from the Registrar General of Dublin that up to the 13th of May fifty deaths were registered in Dublin as resulting from febris niger and purpura maligna, but no death from the "Black Death" appears upon the Register; and I have his authority for saying that the diseases 1661 specified have no analogy to the "Black Death" of the Middle Ages — a disease which since those times has not been known in this country.
