VETERINAUY JURISPRUDENCE. 
horse to sell — nothing was said about price; he did not 
mention the running at the nose then. When I went to the 
defendant’s house I did not mention the price I should give 
for a horse — I wanted a £5 or £6 or £7 horse. Defendant 
said Mr. Webb (the veterinary surgeon) had seen him, and 
said there was nothing catching about the horse. I sent the 
horse to Stortford, 12 miles, on the Tuesday, and he came 
back again ; he also went to Stortford on the Wednesday and 
Thursday — on the latter day he did not come back again. 
Did not tell defendant when he said the horse was killed I 
supposed I must be half the loss ; after the horse was dead, 
he took me to see the other horses, and see there was nothing 
the matter with them ; they appeared very well at work. On 
the Tuesday I had bought a horse of Mr. Archer for 50s. I 
saw no running of the nose of that ; I had not before that 
shown Mr. Archer a horse of mine ill at home ; the day after, 
the horse I bought of Mr. Archer died ; he saw a horse in my 
stable with a running at the nose — it died that night. 
Re-examined. Bunten told me that if he had known I 
was going to send him to Stortford he would not have sold 
him to me. 
Wm, Adams. I was in plaintiff’s service in February, and 
remember the black horse coming home ; the next day went 
to Stortford with it, and noticed a running at the nose, which 
smelt disagreeable ; 1 saw it the night it came home ; he had 
a rattling in the throat, and made a great noise in breathing ; 
he was the same on Friday when I took him to Stortford ; he 
could not feed well ; at Stortford I put it into the Swan stable, 
and Barnes, the superintendent of police, came and took it away; 
before this horse came my master’s other horses were hardy 
and well, and had a coomb of corn a day; on Saturday morning 
I went to Bunten, in Walden market, and told him they had 
taken it away for being glandered ; he said it was not glan- 
dered, he would swear, for the veterinary surgeon told him 
so; soon after, five of my master’s horses were taken ill, and 
the running at the nose smelt like that of the black horse ; 
had never seen a glandered horse before. 
Cross-examined. When Mr. Barnes stopped the horse at 
Stortford, Mr. Titchmarsh was called in to see it. 
James Parish . I saw the plaintiff’s team on the way to 
Stortford, and said, “ What have you got here — a snotty one 
— that is glandered ?” and Adams said it was quinsy ; I did 
not put my horse with it from what I saw. 
Cross-examined. A glandered horse has a great jog under 
the throat, runs at the nose, and smells ; this horse had such 
a rattling in the throat that he could not get his breath.
