[from our dunedin correspondent.] Dtjnedin, December 1.
A special meeting of the Cattle Board was held to-day, to consider the advisability of prohibiting the importation of stock from Europe. A telegram from the Superintendent of Canterbury, stating that the local Board was in favour of prohibition was read. It was resolved that application be made to the Governor to exercise the power vested in him, under section 27 of the Diseased Cattle Act, 1871, and to exclude all stock from being landed in New Zealand from Europe, pending the disappearance of the disease now prevailing there.
