He would inquire into the general position. The Hon. J. Allen emphatically stated, in reply to Mr Anstey. that there was absolutely no reason for alarm respecting "sickness at Trentham, where 4,500 men are encamped. The simplest cases were now sent to hospital in. order to prevent any epidemic. The Minister of Agriculture has informed Mr R.
