230 VETERINARY AND SPORTING JURISPRUDENCE. 
be at Arniston Gate on the following day (Saturday), and that 
as Inglis was to be there himself, it would be a good opportunity 
lor his horse to be seen, or shown off, with a view to his being 
sold. In consequence of this message, and agreeably to Inglis’s 
recommendation, the plaintiff gave his permission, expecting, of 
course, that Mr. Inglis would see his horse properly taken care of, 
and that he would merely allow him to be seen, or shown off, 
with a view to being sold. At this time Mr. Hagart’s horse was 
not in hunting condition. It appeared, however, that a cele¬ 
brated English Jockey, named Templeman, had come down from 
England, and was living with Inglis. The latter, no doubt, 
anxious to shew his English friend every attention, and desirous 
that they should enjoy a good day’s hunting, gave him Mr. Ha¬ 
gart’s horse, and they started together on Saturday morning, 
the 30th of October, 1830, to meet the hounds at Arniston Gate. 
Inglis and Templeman had got only a few miles from Edinburgh, 
when they were overtaken on the road by Mr. Francis Grant, of 
Kilgraston. Templeman was then riding Mr. Hagart’s horse. 
Mr. Grant, from seeing the condition the horse was in, cautioned 
both Inglis and Templeman, that they would kill the horse if they 
did not take care of him in the hunting field, for he was much 
too fat. Another gentleman, well acquainted with horses, over¬ 
took Templeman and Inglis on the road, viz. Mr. Samuel Words¬ 
worth, junior, W. S., who remarked the condition of Mr. Hagart’s 
horse. It was then sweating very much, before they were half way 
to Arniston Gate, which shewed that the horse was in no kind of 
condition for hunting. Inglis rode along with his English friend 
all the way out; he heard the repeated cautions given that Mr. 
Hagart’s horse would be killed if not taken care of; and he must 
himself have seen him very much sweated before they reached 
Arniston. Notwithstanding all this, he permitted Templeman to 
hunt Mr. Hagart’s horse throughout the whole day. There were 
several runs, and the day’s hunting was a very severe one, even 
for horses in condition. Inglis and his friend Templeman re¬ 
turned to Edinburgh in the evening, after the day’s sport; and 
Mr. Ilagart’s horse was not long in the stables before he died ; 
and his death arose from over-exertion and the severe day’s 
work.—On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the 
greatest possible care had been taken of the horse in the hunting- 
field ; that he was expressly sent there by the plaintiff’s desire, 
with a view to sale ; and that he had not been overworked. On 
the contrary, Templeman was a man of very light weight; he 
was jockey to the Duke of Leeds, an experienced horseman, ca¬ 
pable of managing a horse in the most judicious way. He took 
short cuts upon all occasions, and was particularly careful
