VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 531 
By Mr. Chambers. — I do not know if we went to Rosherville ; 
I am a stranger in London. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Chennell. — Came up to town 
by railway; 1 did not state this action would have been given up 
if my evidence had not saved them. 
By Mr. Chambers. — I might have said to Mr. Gibson, "We 
are all in one case;” very likely I did. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Chennell. — Look and see if you 
see the defendant in court. 
By Mr. Chambers. — I have seen the defendant ; he was plainly 
dyessed; no one told me it was him when I saw him in Croydon. 
Mr. Chennell. — Do you see him in court ] 
The witness looked stedfastly round the court, and at length 
exclaimed, “There he is — the same face, but in different clothes.” 
(Laughter.) 
William Bramley. — I live at Red Hill, near Nottingham; I saw 
the horse at the fair, but would not buy him, because he had a 
cough. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Bovill. — I was about buying him ; I 
saw him first on the *27th of March, against the Half Moon, in the 
street. I was there when Mr. Burford struck the horse with the 
stick. I wanted a good sound horse; I thought I could buy the 
horse ; I saw him in the stable ; he coughed then ; it was a very 
unhealthy cough ; I thought him a roarer, I have sold Mr. Bur- 
ford horses. I was at Gravesend on Sunday. Have taken meals 
at Mr. Burford’s house. 
William Howley. — I live at the Ship Inn, Durham; I was at the 
Waterloo Inn; Mr. Christopher was there at the same time. The 
plaintiff wrote out the warranty for the defendant to sign ; he said 
he could not write, but would warrant the horse sound. [The 
warranty was put in and read.] 
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Chennell. — I was at Gravesend 
on Sunday. 
John Shotten (examined by Mr. Chambers). — My father keeps 
livery stables. I am manager to Mr. Burford. I recollect the 
large bay horse coming from the fair ; I found he was ill ; I gave 
him a fever drink ; the next day he was worse ; I took five or six 
quarts of blood from him; he got worse: I then called in Mr. 
Gillingham ; he came in the after part of the day ; he died in the 
night or early in the next morning. We have 1000 or 1500 a 
year, which always come by railway when from a distance. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Chennell. — I saw Mr. Burford 
the Sunday morning after the fair. 
By Mr. Chambers. — Mr. Burford considers me competent to 
manage the horses. I am not a member of the College of Surgeons. 
Mr. Gillingham, (examined by Mr, Petersdorf) — I am a vete-
