VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
525 
directed to intimate, that upon a consideration of the objec- 
tions stated by Mr. Veterinary Surgeon Hallen. His 
Excellency does hot wish the system of depriving horses of 
the power of generation practised in the Poona Irregular 
Horse, to be experimented in the 1st Regiment Light 
Cavalry (Lancers), more especially since it would appear that 
the precautionary measure suggested in the circular from 
this department, No. 1339, of the 16th March last, has not 
been acted upon by Major Owen. 
His Excellency considers the remark of Mr. Hallen, that 
the operator in the system adopted in the Poonah Irregular 
Horse must be guilty of “ cruelty, 5 ’ is uncalled for, and highly 
improper, as reflecting indirectly upon the officer command- 
ing the corps in permitting the practice, which Major Tapp’s 
well-know T n character for humanity affords full assurance that 
he would not have done, were it really attended with the 
severe suffering to the animal assumed by Mr. Hallen. 
I have the honour, &c., & c., &c.
