§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any information about the recent epidemic of distemper during which many valuable dogs died; and whether the animals had been inoculated against the disease.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThere has been an epidemic of distemper in recent months, such as occurs periodically, but as the disease is not required to be notified, I have no precise information of its extent. As regards the last part of the Question, I regret that I have no particulars.
