SMART V. MAUNDER. 
Case No. II to-day, in work ; they are both still very lame , and 
will, in my opinion, never be sound from the operation of the 
“ Remedy added to which, all the cases are much blemished 
from the application of cure for spavin, fyc. fyc. 
It is useless to say more about these cases, since they speak 
for themselves. I consider each case to have had a fair trial, 
and, if Mr. Major is dissatisfied, or fancies otherwise, either 
or both of Mr. Egglesden’s horses are at his service , for treat- 
ment, if he likes to pay their expenses to London, and to keep 
the horses free of charge at his infirmary : when cured, Mr. 
Egglesden will fetch them home. 
Uth May , 1853. 
I am Sir, 
Your obedient servant. 
SMART v. MAUNDER. 
To the Editor of ‘ The Veterinarian 
Dear Sir, — When I sent off the Bristol Mirror news- 
paper, I expected to have followed it up with a correct 
report of my evidence, and the summing-up of the Judge, as 
I had the promise that the reporter of the Mirror should 
report it very particularly, for which I was to pay; but, 
unfortunately, he omitted doing so, — I will however send you 
a copy of my certificate, wfith the leading features of my 
evidence, and the summing-up of the Judge, Mr. Crowder, 
Queen’s Counsel, and Recorder of Bristol. 
Having examined the foot of a dead horse for Mr. Smart; 
this is to certify, that it is quite clear to me that it was 
injured or pricked in shoeing, and afterwards, by mal-treat- 
ment. I am absolutely certain that the horse was cruelly 
treated. 
Given under my hand this 18th day of February, 1853. 
John Kent, Veterinary Surgeon, Bristol . 
I stated, in my evidence, that a skilful practitioner would 
have discovered the injury, and known that matter had 
formed, and w T ould, by paring away the sole, have let the 
matter out at the bottom of the foot. That my opinion was 
founded on the matter having spread underneath the horny sole, 
nearly one half of which was separated. That, for want of an 
opening in the bottom of the foot, it (the matter) had made
