THE VETERINARIAN , FEB. 1 , 1829 . 
Licet omnibus, licet etiammihi, dignitatem artis veterinarice tueri.”— Cicero. 
OUR readers will possibly recollect, that, in September last, we 
gave an account of an action against a veterinary surgeon at Bris¬ 
tol, for unskilfully bleeding and destroying a horse. The facts, 
as related by every reporter, were so extraordinary, that we were 
led to remark, “ There is something in the case passing strange, 
and the veterinary public will claim an explanation from the par¬ 
ties concerned : until opportunity is given for that explanation we 
are silent.” 
It appears that this remark, together with “ similar calls from 
other quarters,” has induced Mr. Kent (the defendant) to publish 
a pamphlet, under the title of “ Barrister's Notes of Evidence, in 
the action Nisbett versus Kent,” a copy of which he has sent to 
us, with an accompanying letter, wherein he says, “ he trusts we 
shall find sufficient, on the perusal of the publication, to exculpate 
him.
