bullock will run into live, six, seven, eight, or nine of the droves 
before he gets out of the market : perhaps in every one of the 
droves that bullock is beat about the head for ten minutes before 
he can be got out of that drove, and he runs to another drove, 
from the circumstance of having been so beat about in the early 
part of the morning. Consequently, perhaps, this bullock is 
beat out of ten droves before he gets out of the market, to the 
injury of the animal very much indeed : oftentimes it causes 
blindness; and when it goes in the public streets, the bullock 
in that state, irritated by the violence committed, runs at any 
thing, or over any thing, or through any thing, because it is dis¬ 
tressed to that extremity from this very circumstance, and which, 
by being tied up, would totally, or nearly so, remove that neces¬ 
sary violence,’ ” 
Urterinarp anti ^on^ultation^* 
JuDsoN V. Etheridge. 
This was an action of detinue for a horse, to which the de¬ 
fendant pleaded that the horse was placed in his charge to be 
fed, and that there was ten pounds due for keeping him, for 
which he claimed a lien on the horse. To this plea the plaintiff 
demurred. 
Mr. Erie, in support of the plea, contended that the defendant 
had a lien on the horse for his charge. It had been decided by 
Lord Wynford that the trainer of a race-horse had a lien on the 
horse for his charge. 
The Court, without hearing Mr. Mansell in support of the de¬ 
murrer, decided that the plea was bad. The defendant had no 
lien under the circumstances : a livery-stable keeper had no lien, 
nor was there a lien for agisting cattle. The grounds of the de¬ 
cision by Lord Wynford were, that the trainer had expended 
skill and labour in improving the horse, and it was on such 
grounds that a lien was given to tradesmen on materials worked 
by them. The present case did not differ from that of a livery- 
stable keeper.
