VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
versation he also said his chemist had deceived him, and had 
made the “ Remedy 5 ’ too strong by 60 degrees. He further 
said that if it was kept till it was old it got much stronger ; so 
that what was sufficient for six applications when fresh, 
would be enough for twelve when old. I applied about a 
third of the bottle at the first dressing. This was according 
to the directions. 
[The pamphlet containing an account of the “ British 
Remedy,” with directions, w r as here handed to the Judge by 
Mr. Hodgson. The Judge having glanced over it, said the 
“ Remedy” I have used myself on two or three occasions, 
and have found it very successful, and there is no doubt it is 
a valuable remedy when properly made and properly used. 
In this instance it has either been made too strong, or too 
much of it has been applied at one time. As far as I under- 
stand the case, there is no pretence of fraudulent intention, 
nor any fault found with the remedy itself. I think you 
might settle the case yourselves.] 
Examination resumed — Mr. Major gave me a lotion for 
the horse, and I applied it on my return, but it had no 
effect. 
Mr. Hodgson here objected to the case going any further, 
the Judge not having jurisdiction. His learned friend was 
bound to show that the whole course of action had arisen 
within the district of this court, but this he could not show, 
as appeared from the evidence of the last witness, who had 
deposed to what had taken place out of the district. This 
objection was made by his client on general grounds, for if 
called upon to defend actions in any part of the kingdom, it 
would be a great hardship to him. 
Mr. PeaJce — I submit, your honour, that in this case the 
sole cause of action being the injury done to the horse, which 
was at Frampton at the time, that the case is within your 
jurisdiction. 
The Judge — The material cause of action arises within my 
jurisdiction, but I will make a note of the objection. 
J. Dickenson , in cross-examination, said there were two 
bony substances on the foot. They appeared before I went 
into Mr. Moore’s service, and I had been with Mr. Moore 
nine months before we tried the “ British Remedy.” I 
applied a sixth part of the bottle to each excrescence, and 
had the directions before me while I did it. They were not 
ringbones, but bony substances. 
Mr. W. C. Bland , examined. — I am a member of the Royal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons. Know the plaintiff’s horse 
“ Iodine.” Was called in to see him in the winter of 1853.
