ITEM 5:  Other Events


     On January 30, 1997, the Company was served with a subpoena from 
a federal grand jury in Connecticut requesting certain documents.  The
Company was subsequently informed that it is a subject of the grand
jury's investigation.  The subpoena requested information relating to
an accidental spill from the Company's Huntingdon Avenue, Waterbury,
Connecticut facility that occurred in November of 1994, together with
other information related to the Company's operations and compliance
at the Huntingdon Avenue facility.  The Company has retained outside
law firms to assist the Company in complying with the subpoena. 
The Company is cooperating with the government's investigation.

The Connecticut Fund for the Environment, a private organization, has 
notified MacDermid of its intent to sue MacDermid in relation to the
foregoing accidental spill and in relation to certain permit exceedances.

Since these matters are currently in very early stages, it is impossible
to determine what the ultimate outcome will be and difficult to quantify 
the extent of the Company's exposure to liability, if any.  As such, no
assurance can be given that the Company will not be found to have liability.
It is the Company's policy to accrue probable liabilities to the extent
that the Company can reasonably quantify such liabilities.  

This form 8-K shall supersede the 8-K filed by the Company on
February 28, 1997.
