VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
the influenza; it had had it also from January to the middle of 
February: it was, however, getting a little better, and they were 
putting him to work in the chains. Since this action the horse had 
been sent to Mr. Moore, who had succeeded Mr. Hollingworth as 
veterinary surgeon, in Manchester; and he said there was no en¬ 
largement of the joints of the foot . 
Cross-examined. —The horse had a hood on when he was sold. 
Before it was taken to Mr. Moore’s, it had been examined at 
Ashton, at the request of Mr. Mellor, by Mr. Ousey, who said he 
believed it was unsound; but did not take Mr. Ousey’s opinion 
in the matter, and therefore did not communicate it to Mr. Moore. 
James Upton had attended the horse for influenza. 
Mr. James Pearson, the clerk, who drew out the warranty, 
proved that Mr. Boden was very reluctant in consenting to sell the 
horse ; and said, if the horse did not please in a few days, he would 
return the money. 
James Taylor , the carter, said he never perceived any lameness 
or enlargement on the fore foot. He had worked the horse, and 
always found it sound; it ailed nothing but a cold. 
By the Judge. —All the carting is on pavement in Stockport. 
Mr. James Moore, veterinary surgeon, of Manchester, said he 
had passed before the College. He had been in business twenty- 
four years, twelve of which he had passed with the late Mr. Hol¬ 
lingworth, to whose practice he had succeeded. On the 2d instant 
his opinion was asked respecting a grey horse which was sub¬ 
mitted to him. Examined it particularly, first running it on the 
pavement, and then holding it still, and found it quite sound, and 
gave a certificate to that effect. In order to fortify his opinion, he 
put the horse up for an hour, and again submitted it to the same 
test, with the same results. His attention was called to the feet, 
and the alleged enlargement of the pastern bone, but could find 
no enlargement but what was natural in strong-bred horses. Both 
legs were alike in size and shape, and consequently there could be 
no particular enlargement of one leg over the other. There was no 
enlargement whatever; that is, there was no diseased enlarge¬ 
ment —all was quite natural. Has studied the anatomy of the 
horse, and has received a medal for his anatomical knowledge. 
Cross-examined. —It was on Monday, morning he examined the 
horse; Mr. Boden and Mr. Mellor were present, and made no 
allusion to Mr. Ousey’s opinion. He (witness) in his evidence 
had not said any thing about lameness; he said the horse was 
sound, and there was no enlargement when he saw the horse. 
By the Judge. —The bones of the legs were quite consistent with 
the size of the animal. In size and shape the leys both correspond; 
there was no diseased enlargement.
