154 VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
With the exception of the heart, and some enlargement of the 
mesenteric glands generally, there was no thoracic or abdominal 
disease. The frontal sinuses exhibited no mark of disease. The 
Schneiderian membrane covering the sethmoid and turbinated 
bones was considerably injected; the membrane of the septum 
presented a splendid radiated injection; the mucous membrane 
was elevated in two or three little patches, and there were two 
distinct but minute ulcers, the edges of which were still nearly 
pellucid but abrupt, and above them were two little vesicles, and 
all these were in a line followino; one of the venous radiations. 
On the whole, however, although the ass died in consequence of 
the inflamed vein, we think we are warranted in affirming that 
another disease had been set up, and that glanders, which had 
been communicated from the horse to the human being, had 
been carried back from the human being to the quadruped.

The first two papers came in the ordinary routine of con¬ 
sultation by letter. We shall occasionally insert a few of these 
things. They will, at least, afford materials for thinking” for 
our young friends. 
The third is the report of a trial which occurred yesterday, and 
which we insert, although we disarrange the press in order to 
do so. 
DEATH FROM VENESECTION. 
Dear Sir, 
I WISH your advice regarding a case which happened to me 
a few weeks ago. 
Being sent for to see a young mare that was not feeding very 
well, and lookino' rather unhealthy, I took some blood from her: 
this was about ten o’clock in the morning, and at eight at night 
there was not any swelling on the part where she was bled. On 
the next morning, about seven o’clock, a man came to say, that 
the mare was very much swelled about the neck and head. I 
went and saw the mare, and found a considerable swelling on 
each side of the upper part of the windpipe. I applied warm 
water to the tumour, thinking that I had grazed her throat in 
giving her a ball; but it turned out that it was blood extra- 
vasated in the cellular substance, between the vein and the skin.
