§ MR. CARNEGIEasked, Whether it was true, as stated in one or two of the public journals of the preceding day, that some sheep recently imported from Antwerp had been found suffering from sheep-pox?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, he had caused inquiries to be made on the subject, and it would be satisfactory for hon. Members to know that the fact was as follows:—On Wednesday, a cargo of sheep had been landed at the Victoria Dock from Antwerp, which had been marked by the inspector for a second examination; but, upon giving that full examination, they had been passed as entirely free from disease.
