Evidence was then called on behalf of the defendant; but the 
only important point proved was, that Mr. Gifford had received a 
letter from Mr. Beardsworth, in October last, in which he told 
him he might do as he liked ; but that he (Mr. Beardsworth) did 
not wish to submit his case to the stewards of the Jockey Club. 
Mr. Serjeant Goulburn having replied, 
The Lord Chief Justice informed the jury, that the questions for 
their consideration were, whether or not the parties had submitted 
their case to the decision of the stewards of the Jockey Club, and 
whether that decision had been pronounced. With respect to the 
letter proved to have been written to Mr. Gifford by Mr. Beards¬ 
worth, his Lordship was of opinion that the terms of it did not 
amount to a revocation of the submission. 
The jury, after having retired for some time, returned with a 
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £600.

On the Urine of a Horse attacked with Diabetes* 
By M, Lassange. 
About three months ago there prevailed among the horses in 
the capital a very extraordinary malady, and which engaged the 
serious attention of veterinarians. It seemed to be, according to 
the account of M. Moiroud, that affection designated in the hu¬ 
man being by the name of diabetes . In effect, among other 
symptoms, the animals attacked with this disease voided five or 
six pounds of very clear urine every hour. 
It was of a light jaunepaille straw-colour, with a faint smell 
resembling that of healthy urine, and reddening turnsole, but that 
very feebly, and after a considerable time.

the horse.
