LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]
The Outbreak of Pleuro-Pneumonia: Deputation to Colonial Secretary. WELLINGTON, Yesterday. A deputation from Wanganui waited on the Colonial Secretary in reference to an application made by certain districts in the South Island to the effect that the whole of the North Island might be proclaimed an infected .cattle district, and the removal of cattle from the North to the South Island wholly prohibited, on account of the outbreak of pleuro-pneu-monia. The deputation represented the hardship and unfairness of the course which the Government has been urged to take in its effect upon Wanganui, which was fully 300 miles distant from the locality where the disease had appeared, and moreover had a large trade in stock with the west coast of the South Island which would be destroyed by the prohibition asked for. MrDick said the Government had no power to take such an extreme course as that against which tho deputation protested, and certainly had no idea of adopting any measures of so offensive, a nature.
