VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
388 
From the veterinary statistics of the French army, published 
on a former occasion* in this Journal, as well as from reports 
every now and then reaching us through other channels, we 
feel ourselves authorized in asserting, that, among the horses of 
the French cavalry and artillery, glanders is much more preva- 
lent than it is in our army ; and since it is pretty well ascer- 
tained from facts derived from the experience of army veterinary 
surgeons in this country, that stabling has much to do with the 
continuance of the disease, so we should apprehend that suffi- 
cient stress has not been laid upon this point by the French 
authorities we have been citing. We do not dispute that, on 
occasions, glanders may prove the off-set of malignant catarrh 
or fever, induced by suppressed perspiration ; but we take this 
to be a rare cause when brought into comparison with others ; 
nor is it one to which, for our own part, we feel inclined to pay 
any great amount of attention.

This was an action by which the plaintiff sought to recover 
compensation in damages for the alleged breach of the warranty 
of a horse for which the plaintiff had paid the defendant £75. 
It appeared that the plaintiff, a merchant in the city, but 
having a residence at East Dulwich, in the month of April last 
purchased a chestnut gelding from the defendant, a livery stable- 
keeper in Bond-street, upon a warranty of soundness given by 
the nephew of the latter. He paid the sum of £75 for the 
animal. He had not, however, had the horse many days 
before it was discovered that he was suffering from lameness. 
The groom had also found that the horse did not feed, and upon 
examining his mouth saw that he was labouring under what is
