OBITUARY. 
The noble Chairman told defendant he was liable to a penalty of 
each for every sheep that was affected, but the magistrates would 
take a most lenient view of the case, and fine him in the mitigated 
penalty of £l Is. and. 11s. 6d. costs, adding that he ought to 
be very thankful that he was let off so easily. 
Defendant paid the money, but said that he was not at all 
thankful . — Bedford Times. 
ARMY VETERINARY SURGEONS PRACTISING 
PRIVATELY. 
By “ Enquirer.” 
Gentlemen, — Being ignorant of the terms of the warrant 
under which an army Veterinary Surgeon acts, I am induced to 
ask, if it is in accordance with the rules of the service for a 
gentleman who is in charge of the horses of any portion of his 
regiment to perform the offices of a private practitioner when 
it is detrimental to the latter ? If it be legitimate it is, I think, 
unfair. An army man is on full pay, and has no struggle to 
make for his daily bread. A private veterinary surgeon is 
put to his wits’ end to meet his daily requirements. 
Perhaps you will kindly afford space for this query in your 
next, with a view of its falling under the notice of those 
competent to deal with the question? My experience and 
observation enable me to assert that the grievance I have 
alluded to is not universal.
