Who would be the man to enquire about that ?

Mr Chapman, is the man at the G. C. H. who keeps the

accounts.

.

At any rate, I knew there was a scarcity

of calves, and I knew what the reason was, and

consequently, when Mr Tung Wa Chun was at the Board

Keeting, and asked when there would be lymphḥ, and he

was told that calves would come soon from the New

Territory, knowing that calves would oume scon from the

New Territory, and that it would be six weeks before

the lymph woula be ripe, I advised Mr Brewin to write

to the Government and insist upon vaccine baing

obtained from Shanghai at once.

43 Q.

Did you get all that you wanted ?

Of course. I was acting in this, although I had no

right to, and I insisted, because there might be a

calamity.

Do you know of any provizion made for the coming|3644

season

That I dont know. All I know is that although it was

stated that the calves could not be got here, because

the Chinese had prevented them coming from Canton,

after this little trouble, and Mr Brewin wrote up to

the Government, money was paid to Mr Gibson to get

calves and he got them in a couple of days, and when

he was away, and I was acting Colonial Veterinary

Surgeon, I got a duzen. Latterly they were $50 each.

How did you get them formerly 7

13645

They used to be borrowed formerly, for $7, and then

returned.

I thought they had to be killed ?

They are at home, but not here.

Perfectly harmless.
