purchased another of him on the same day for £9. The defendant said 
the latter cow kicked at milking, but was otherwise quiet. This was 
the misrepresentation complained of. The plaintiff added, that on 
hearing this from the defendant, he replied that he did not care about 
her kicking at milking; and he then purchased the cow, and took her 
home. 
Cross-examined—We were afterwards in danger of our lives; she 
drove at a score of us. There was no conversation about the cow beyond 
what 1 have stated, neither was any warranty given. We had a difficult 
job to get her along. The cow was not represented to me as being wild. 
My son and myself led the cow by a halter. I kept her four or five days, 
and was then obliged to kill her, because she was so wild. I sold her 
to Mr. Mattingly, butcher, of Farnham. 
A witness, named Ely , said he believed the cow was mad. He had 
seen her attempt to gore the defendant, and on one occasion it took 
three men to milk her. 
Another witness, named Prior , gave similar evidence. 
Mr. Pain contended that the animal was quiet, and would have been 
easily driven home, but that the plaintiff had tied its head to a fore leg, 
and goaded it so much as to drive it into a state of madness. 
His Honour observed that in such a case it was high time the animal 
should be killed. 
The defendant and a witness were called, and they endeavoured to 
prove that the cow was quiet, except sometimes on being milked. 
Mr. Mattingly, butcher, was sent for, and he deposed that at the time 
he bought the cow of the plaintiff she was in a wild state, so that no 
one could with safety get near her. He thought the vicious habits of 
the animal were natural, and not produced by being drawn from Fleet- 
pond with her head tied to a fore leg. 
Mr. Pain asked for an adjournment, with the view of producing 
further evidence in support of his case; but his Honour declined, 
observing that, in his opinion, the animal ought not to have been sold to 
anybody. 
Judgment was given for the plaintiff, with costs of two witnesses. 
MISCELLANEA. 
A military veteran has just died full of years and honours. 
His name was “Dob/ 5 and he had four feet. In plain 
English, he was a noted war-horse, who entered the service 
October 2nd, 1833, and served in the Crimea. He was in 
the charge of Balaklava and the battles of Alma and Inker- 
mann. Having grown old in the service, the Duke of Cam¬ 
bridge would not permit him to be dismissed, but ordered 
him to pass the remainder of his days in peace and plenty, 
fighting his battles over again to admiring equine com¬ 
panions.
