    Criticizes the claim made by Samuel Wilberforce that the disease currently spreading among cattle is 'punishment on the English' for not subscribing sufficient funds for a memorial to Prince Albert, by pointing out that 'foreign cattle are also diseased'. Suspects that the bishop will 'discover another crime, if he is resolved to go beyond natural causes'.
