RABIES IN ENGLAND.
An inquiry was recently held at Plymouth on behalf of the Board of Agriculture, into the origin of tho outbreak of rabies of which there have been many cases in Devon and Cornwall. Police and other witnesses gavo evidence that the first oasesof rabies were reported in July or August, since then it had been confirmed in many instances, and several persons had been bitten and treated at the Pasteur institute in Paris. The opinion expressed that the disease was probably imported, and a Customs officer said it would require a regiment of soldiers to prevent dogs from being smuggled into the country. Two or three witnesses said they knew that dogs were brought across the Channel by airmen, in spite of the official denial of this fact.
