VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
of Barking, Essex, to recover compensation in damages from 
the defendants, for injuries to a horse from the alleged negli- 
gence of the defendants’ servants. 
It appeared from the evidence that on the 2Qth of October 
last, the horse in question was taken to the Somersham 
station of the defendants’ railway in Huntingdonshire, to be 
conveyed to London. A cattle truck, with sides six feet 
high, "was selected for its transmission, but notwithstanding 
the remonstrance of the plantiff’s agent, the horse was put 
into a luggage truck, the sides of which were not more than 
four feet high. The train had but just left the station, when 
it was discovered that the horse, frightened by the passing of 
an engine, had jumped over the side of the carriage on to 
the line, and severely injured itself. It was kept at the 
station from that time till November, when it was forwarded 
to London in a horse-box, when it was found the horse had 
dislocated its shoulder, and received other injuries. 
After hearing the evidence, which was of a conflicting 
character, the jury returned a verdict for £ 15, the value of the 
horse, and £23 for its keep.
