Anatomy, to which others are from time to time being added, 
and lately a large number have been placed there at the 
bequest of the late Mr. Alex. Henderson. Were our profes- 
sional brethren to look over these departments, it is more than

the presentation of any duplicates they may have in their 
possession; for it should be remembered that the Institution 
belongs to the body corporate, and therefore such contribu- 
tions are not for the benefit of any private individual, but for 
the community of which they are the members ; and to be held 
in reserve for succeeding generations, so that in ages yet to 
come, good may result from these collections : and how r often 
has it been the case that from beginnings smaller than these, 
large and valuable accumulations have arisen?

[We have been earnestly requested by Mr. Horsburgh to 
give the evidence in extenso in the following case, and have 
done so, in as far as the examination “in chief 3 ’ is concerned, 
from a printed report he has sent us. Veterinary jurispru- 
dence is an important subject, and one which we are desirous 
at all times to give a place to in our journal; but we fear, 
unless our contributors will kindly condense these cases as 
much as they can, that they will frequently have to be put 
aside for more valuable matter.]
