Dr. Manson calls attention to the present system of cattle inspection within the Colony, and suggests as a remedy the appointment of a competent Veterinary Surgeon.

I therefore beg to recommend that a properly qualified Veterinary Surgeon be obtained from home, and be instructed with the general supervision of the market and with the inspection of cattle. In fact, he should be the Inspector of the Food Supply and Live Stock of the Colony.
