VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 529 
Re-examined. I had seen plaintifFs horses before, and 
they were in healthy working order. 
Supt . Barnes . I went to the Swan stable, and found the 
black horse ; I felt satisfied it was glandered, — it smelt badly, 
— and I sent for the veterinary surgeon ; I sent it to the 
knacker yard, and the next day, with the consent of Bunten, 
ordered it to be killed. Burten said he did not believe it was 
glandered, for Mr. Webb had told him it was quinsy. 
Henry Parish, I saw the black horse at Stortford, and 
should say it had the glanders — it smelt much ; I have seen 
many glandered horses, and this had the same symptoms; my 
man killed this horse ; I buy dead horses. 
M. Titchmarsh, a veterinary surgeon in practice at Stort- 
ford for 23 years. I was called in to see the horse, and never 
saw a worse case of glanders ; it would have been dangerous 
to touch any part of it, and I did not make a post-mortem ex- 
amination ; it must have been affected for weeks to be in that 
state ; there was ulceration of the worst kind by the disease, 
and I should say it had been there a month ; it was not 
quinsy, or anything of that ; I should say, from the cough, 
that there was great ulceration of the lungs ; this case was so 
far advanced that no one who had seen a glandered horse 
could mistake it. 
In cross-examination witness described the symptoms he 
observed in the horse. If a horse had acute glanders he 
could not work, but this was in the chronic form ; believed 
from the state of this horse that another would take the 
disease from it, and show it in five days. 
Parish recalled . My man opened the horse, and the lungs 
and whole mucous membrane were ulcerated. 
Mr. Rule. I am a veterinary surgeon of the old school, and 
have been 40 years in practice ; I have seen many glandered 
horses ; I did not see the black horse, but was called in on 
the 1 5th to the other horses, one of which died the next day ; 
the others died of the same symptoms ; I inoculated a healthy 
donkey from the horses, taking the virus from the nostril, 
and he died the 7th day after it was done, with decided 
symptoms of glanders, I tried the experiment quietly. 
Mr. James. No one knew it but you, Mr. Mizen, and the 
donkey. [Laughter.] 
Witness. I should put the average value of the horses that 
died at £7 each. 
Cross-examined. In the first case it did not strike me at 
first what was the matter with it ; I gave it two balls and a 
draught. 
Mr. James. Like one of the old school, — if you know what
