BYRON, of Auckland aforesaid, Coal Merchant, the registered
owners of the above patent, have applied to me for leave to

tion in, the said invention, the particulars whereof are stated
below. I do therefore appoint Thursday, the 2nd day of July

tion and all objections to the same; and I do hereby require
all persons having an interest in opposing the said applica-
tion to leave, on or before the 17th day of June, at my office,

This is the disclaimer which we desire to make in the
specification of the said invention or patent:—

1. We disclaim the reducing of animals to insensibility by
   the specified process of stunning.

2. We disclaim the use of sal prunella entirely, and also
   the use, in the proportions and mode mentioned in the said
   specification, of the boracic acid.

3. We disclaim clause 3 of the said specification.
   The following is the alteration we desire to make in the
   said specification:—

4. We render the animal insensible to pain by severing the
   spinal cord at the back of the head.

5. We then open the jugular vein or any other suitable
   vein, and insert the point or mouth of a force-pump into the
   vein, and then force or pump into the circulatory system of
   the slaughtered animal the mixture composed of the ingre-
   dients and in the proportions following, viz., from 4 to 7
   ounces of boracic acid, according to the state of the atmo-
   sphere at the time, dissolved in 20 ounces of water at a high
   temperature, such water having been previously purified by
   lime, the acid being thoroughly dissolved in and mixed with
   the purified water, and allowed to cool to blood-heat, when
   it is ready to be forced or pumped into the circulatory sys-
   tem of the animal as before specified. We then bleed and
   dress the animal in the usual way.

6. We use 20 ounces of the above mixture to every 100
   pounds weight of the carcase of any animal treated by us
   under the above process or invention.
