for gentlemen who are unwilling to incur the trouble per- 

 sonally. All applications to be addressed, post paid, to Mr, 

 Geo. Brooks, No. 1, Duncannon-street, Charing-cross. 



Regulations at Mr. Osborne's stables, in King's 

 Road, Gray's Inn. 



1. All horses that are sold and warranted, must, if proved 

 otherwise, be returned within six days from the time of sale. 



2. The owners of horses sold may receive the money on the 

 seventh day from the time of sale. 



3. All horses must be paid for before they are delivered, and 

 for those which are not sold, the expenses must be paid before 

 taken away. 



I take this opportunity of observing that Mr. 

 Osborne of the King's Road, is not the defendant 

 in the cause of Best v. Osborne quoted in the 

 previous pages. I am anxious to explain this, 

 because I should be very sorry to impute to him 

 the conduct attributed to the son of the defendant 

 in that cause. Both the Osbornes, father and 

 son, have always acted in an honourable way in 

 all transactions in which I have been personally 

 engaged with them, and I believe them to be as 

 respectable and plain-dealing men as any in the 

 trade ; though I must add, that if they possessed 

 a little more scientific knowledge they would listen 

 with more attention to the objections of their cus- 

 tomers. It is a fault however, on the right side, 

 as respects such of their customers as are sellers ;
