§ MR. CHANCE (Kilkenny, S.)I desire to ask whether the recent outbreak of Pleuro Pneumonia in Cumberland was traced to cattle imported from county Tyrone, as stated in the Mark Lane Express?
§ THE VICE CHAMBERLAIN (Viscount LEWISHAM) LewishamAn inquiry has been made by an inspector of the Privy Council as to the origin of the recent outbreak of Pleuro Pneumonia at Burgon Sands, near Carlisle, and he has been informed that the animal which introduced the disease was one of a lot of 14 brought from the north of Ireland into Cumberland on the 1st of February. The animals had been purchased at various fairs, but the dealer is unable to say where he purchased the diseased animal, or to give the name of the seller.
