VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
693 
Edinburgh; my name is on the register as a member of the 
society; up to August, 1869, I was in the employ of the de- 
fendant's father ; he was a veterinary surgeon ; I then set up in 
business myself ; I was in the habit of attending sales at Clay- 
worth's; on the 28th of April, 1870, 1 examined a dun cob for 
Mr. Marlow; I heard something that the defendant said, and 
ceased to go to the sales ; before then I was in the habit of 
giving two or three certificates a week ; I received half a guinea 
for each certificate ; my business has fallen off since. 
Josiah Marlow: I keep the “Old Crown Inn," Deritend, 
Birmingham; on the 27th April last a man named Potter bought 
a dun cob at the defendant's repository ; the plaintiff gave me a 
certificate of unsoundness ; on the following Monday I saw the 
defendant, who said he should not recognise plaintiff's certificate, 
as he was not a veterinary surgeon, and he should not take a cow- 
leech's certificate; on the Wednesday after the defendant said 
again that the plaintiff was not a veterinary surgeon, nor a mem- 
ber of the Veterinary College, and he would not take a cowleech's 
certificate. 
John Penstone : I am a builder ; I accompanied the last wit- 
ness to the defendant's repository ; I heard Marlow apply for his 
money, and the defendant refused ; he said he should not give it 
him, as he was not a duly qualified veterinary surgeon ; after a few 
words between Marlow and the defendant, the defendant said he 
should not take Pitt's certificate, as he was only a cowleech. 
Sidney Veale : On the 3rd of May I went with Marlow to the 
defendant's repository ; the defendant said he would not take 
Pitt's certificate ; he could not take a cowleech's certificate. 
Mr. Huddleston read a letter from the plaintiff's solicitor to 
the defendant, and the latter's answer. 
Mr, Powell argued that the defendant was not a veterinary 
surgeon according to the Charter of the Boyal College of Veteri- 
nary Surgeons. The point was reserved. 
Mr. Paul : I am the general manager at the repository ; on 
Saturday, 29th April, a dun cob was brought to the repository 
by Marlow and Veale ; the one handed me a certificate ; I told 
him I could not take it ; I had some conversation with them, and 
then went to see Mr. Clayworth ; while I was gone they tied the 
cob up and went away ; I went after them ; on the Monday 
Marlow and Penstone came, and Mr. Clayworth said he could 
not accept the certificate, because Pitt was not a member of the 
Boyal College of Veterinary Surgeons ; Marlow said, “ If he's not 
a veterinary surgeon, what do you call him ?" Clayworth said 
“ I call him nothing, you can call him what you like ;" Marlow 
said “ If he is not a veterinary surgeon, do you call him a cow- 
leech ?”
