VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
horse lay by until Monday: he then rode him out for twenty 
minutes or half an hour. He walked well, but when he mended 
his pace he became very hot : he would not answer to the rein. 
He let him have his head, and then, having his own will, he 
went quietly enough. He rode him again that day, and shewed 
him to Mr. Tawney. Did not use the curb rein. Tawney rode 
him ; he set up his back, reared, and threw him. When Taw¬ 
ney rode the horse, he fancied that he was lame in his near fore 
foot ; could not see it when he had the horse in his own hand. 
His master is a grazier, and buys horses to graze and sell again. 
Tawney bought the horse. 
Cross-examined .—Did not know at what profit the horse was 
sold to Tawney. The horse set up his back when the saddle 
was put upon him: this was common enough when a horse is 
fresh from grass. Went raw with the curb, but better with the 
snaffle, but then with his nose up. Tawney purchased him, 
although he had thrown him, because his master warranted him. 
Henri/ Tawney is a horsedealer in London; was down for 
the purpose of buying horses: called at Watmore’s; saw this 
horse; saw him walked five hundred or six hundred yards, and 
then said that he would not answer his purpose: was told that 
the horse had been out at grass. Told Watmore that he thought 
the horse was lame : Watmore replied that he was sound, and 
that he would warrant him. He got upon him with some diffi¬ 
culty, but the horse plunged, and reared, and threw him: never¬ 
theless, he bought the horse with a warranty of his being sound, 
and free from vice. 
The horse was then committed to the care of his servant, who 
led him from the neighbourhood of Boston, where he was pur¬ 
chased, to East Barnet, and he did not see him any more until 
the 26th : he then thought him lame in the near fore foot. His 
servant then mounted him with difficulty, and the horse reared 
and plunged, and tried to throw the man : he was what is termed 
a rusty horse; such a horse cannot be said to be free from vice. 
At last, they got him out of the yard into a field, but they could 
do nothing with him : he reared and plunged, and would have 
his own way, but w r ould not go where the man w r anted him to 
go. He was then put into the stable again. He tried him again 
on the 4th of September, after having given notice of return. 
Mr. J. Watmore then saw him: he was lame. They again 
saddled him, but he reared up and plunged, and got against the 
wall, and tried to get the man off: could not get him out of the 
yard at all that day. He had previously observed that the horse 
appeared to have whip-marks upon him, as if he had been 
punished. Has been all his life a horsedealer. He was a vicious 
horse. Mr. Watmore asked him to try to ride him for a few
