VETERINARS JURISPRUDENCE. 355 
fat in January; he was eleven or twelve years old; 1 sold him 
myself at four years old ; training will not abate the disease. 
Re-examined : — There was neither roaring, wheezing, or 
whistling. 
Mr. John Walton — I am a veterinary surgeon in Liverpool ; 
T have been in business since 1826 ; I examined the horse Para- 
gon for Mr. Anderson ; he was sound in his wind ; I put him to 
the usual tests ; he was galloped by my assistant ; I am quite 
satisfied of his soundness ; I never knew of a case of chronic 
disease of the lungs without a chronic cough. 
Mr. Charles Speakman. — I am assistant to Mr. Walton ; I gal- 
loped the horse on the day in question up the hill for ten or twenty 
minutes ; I examined him as to the state of his wind ; he was 
perfectly sound ; he could not have had a chronic affection of the 
lungs on the 7th October last ; I never heard the horse cough. 
Mr. Daniel Herbert. — I am a veterinary surgeon in Chester ; 
1 have been in practice three years ; I studied under Mr. Walters ; 
I examined Paragon on the 17th November. I had galloped him 
in Bumper’ s-lane, about a mile in length ; he is perfectly sound in 
his wind; he could not have had any chronic affection of the lungs 
in October ; I never heard of chronic disease without chronic 
cough. 
Mr. John Harrison. — I am a surgeon, residing in Chester. In 
the human frame it is morally impossible to have a chronic affec- 
tion of the lungs without chronic cough ; the same will apply to a 
horse. 
Mr. Wm. McEwen gave similar evidence. 
That was the defendant’s case. 
Mr. Townsend replied at considerable length, and with great 
ability.
