VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
raises : had at that time fifteen other horses for sale. He was 
well acquainted with Mr. Patmore before. He looked at all the 
horses in that stable : there were seven of them ; he wished to 
see this horse out; saw him run ; asked the price of him : 100 
guineas. Told him he could not sell him without the owner : 
they met, and the horse was sold ; he was fairly tried. Saw 
Patmore afterwards, who said that he had returned the horse as 
being restive : told him that the horse never had been restive ; 
he was at all times in that condition, that, if he had had vice, it 
would have shewn itself. The last time the horse was with him 
the servants were new, and yet the horse was quiet. 
C) • oss-examined .—Does not know the names of the servants 
who were then about him. He has sometimes a greater number 
of helpers than others, and he often does not know their names. 
Does not know the name of the man who took care of this horse, 
nor where he now is. It was a particularly quiet horse, and well 
broken. It may appear to be carelessness to trust valuable 
horses to men whose names he does not know, but he, and others 
in his way, are sometimes obliged to do it. 
The horse never plunged, but he did sometimes set his back 
up a little.—“ Was it from this setting up of his back that you 
call him a particularly quiet horse ?” “ I don’t know; but he 
was a quiet horse, for all that.” 
It is not unusual for him to have horses twice, and even three 
times. Never whipped him at all, at least never punished him 
with the whip. Heard of his throwing Caps, but nobody else. 
Went to London about this horse, at the desire of Mr. Pock- 
lington : saw him in livery—saw him run out in hand : did not 
mount him, and did not hear of his being restive there. 
Joseph Pocklington is brother to the defendant. Knows the 
horse—knew him all the time he was in his brother’s hands. 
Had him under his care three or four months; used to ride him 
about the farm, and to market: he rode quiet. Has ridden him 
without saddle—never knew him to be vicious : has ridden him 
after the hounds—always with a snaffle—tcok his fences well— 
perhaps, sometimes, a score in the course of the run. Saw his 
brother ride him at Croxton Park races; was quiet there: this 
was at the Easter of the last year. Quiet in stable—quiet wdien 
saddling: has seen him saddled several times. Was present 
when Caps was thrown: the horse had no saddle on then. The 
boy used to ride him with the same saddle that he used for the 
donkey: the boy got upon the horse again immediately. 
Cross-examined . — “ 1 dare say you would swear that it was 
one of the quietest horses you ever rode?” “Yes; I would. 
Did not know that he had thrown Caps more than once; and 
that Caps had been forbidden to ride him.”—“Why did you
