I am afraid, gentlemen, I have trespassed too much on your 
well filled space, and will therefore hasten to subscribe myself 
Your obedient servant, 
W. C. Spooner.

MR. JAMES TURNER TO MR. VV. C. SPOONER, ON MR. BAZINCi’s 
LETTER. " > , 
Dear Sir, 
It would be a sacrifice of time to dwell on the gratification 
I experienced, at finding the new unfettered system of shoeing hy 
side-nailing publicly espoused in a paper contained in the last 
May number of The Veterinarian; and this pleasure was 
not a little heightened, on observing that my able advocate was 
an experienced veterinarian in full practice. 
Doubtless you have read Mr. Bazing’s reply to you, in the 
July number of the same periodical, in which he refers you to 
Mr. Charles Clark's letter on the same subject, in the “ Farrier 
and Naturalist," p. 274 ; and to Mr. Brightwen’s remarks in the 
same work. Now the said Mr. Bazing, in his unbounded zeal 
for his friend Mr. Bracey Clark, has wanted the candour like¬ 
wise to remind you that I immediately replied, in a single paper, 
to Mr. B. Clark, and also to his nephew and cousins, and friends, 
both at home and abroad; all of whom appear to have been in requi¬ 
sition on this very knotty point, viz. Mr. Charles Clark, Mr. Cre- 
pin, Mr. Brightwen, &c. &c.: and Mr. Bazing, silent as he is, 
could not have avoided seeing it, in the September number of 
The Veterinarian for 1829, as my reply accompanied his 
own epistle in that work. It would seem, however, that Mr. B. 
has no wish to bring that record again before the veterinary 
public, and therefore, as a point of justice to myself and to the 
subject, I am sure you will excuse my having thus reminded you 
of it. 
I am, dear Sir, 
Your’s faithfully, 
James Turner.

PS. They wished to make it appear that I am enlisted under 
their banners, but they might have found by that paper that I 
am rather a rebellious subject, having shown that there is more
