58 VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
Mr. Simons appeared for the plaintiff, who is a farmer in Tai Cupla, 
at Penderrin; and Mr. Smith appeared for the defendant, who is also a 
farmer, occupying part of the same farm as the plaintiff. 
Mr. Simons very humorously opened the case, and proceeded to call 
witnesses. 
David Thomas, the plaintiff—I am a farmer, living at Tai Cupla, 
Penderrin. We both.live under the same master. The two farms are 
separate, with the exception of the Coedcae, which is jointly between 
us. The Coedcae is the middle of other land. Mr. Morgan, the 
defendant, keeps stallion ponies from eleven to twelve hands high. I 
am the owner of a filly, she is of the common farm breed of this 
county. She is now two years old. I used to turn this filly out with 
my other horses to the Coedcae. She was on the Coedcae last summer. 
I told Morgan several times to keep his stallions from the Coedcae, so 
as not to spoil my fillies. He said, “ No, I have as much right to turn 
my stallions there as anything else.” I complained in the hearing of a 
servant girl. I have a corn field close to Coedcae. I had the fillies 
sometimes on the field. I know that his stallions have broken into my 
field after the fillies. I know of no other stallions in the neighbourhood. 
The filly was in foal, and has had a colt. She has been permanently 
injured. 
By Mr. Smith—I commence working my horses from two to three 
years old. I used her before she had a colt. I don’t know that she was 
as good. I used her for all kinds of work on the farm. The Coedcae 
is not adjoining the mountain. Can’t go to the mountain except 
through large gates. There are some stallions on the mountains. 
They come down sometimes when storms prevail in the winter. De¬ 
fendant Morgan and myself came to live there together, about eight 
years ago. Morgan used to keep his stallion by the house with fetters 
on until last year. The only stallion I ever had was one about six 
months old. The little girl was with me when I cautioned him not to 
let his stallions into the Coedcae. We are not on the best terms with 
each other, but I do nothing to him, that is the truth for you. The 
filly and her colt are not worth half as much as the filly was before. I 
would not then have taken £20 for her. They sell every sort in a fair; 
you can have good and bad there. This one was a very good one. j 
have given £15 and more for two-year old fillies. I can't say what they 
are worth now. 
Mr. Smith —Are they worth £12? 
Witness —I don’t know. 
Mr. Smith —Are they worth £15? 
Witness —You can easily know, that if they are not worth £12, there 
is no one so foolish as to give £15 for them. 
By Mr. Smith—1 know they are not worth £15 now. I will swear 
that I don’t know what she is worth now. 
By his Honour—I would not turn anything out if I knew that would 
injure other people. I would not turn out a bull if I knew that there 
were heifers there. 
Mr. Simons —She is very much reduced to me in value as a farmer 
and always will be. I did not tell Morgan that it was the youngest 
stallion that covered the filly. 
Anne Thomas —I was servant last year with the plaintiff. I heard him 
telling defendant to keep his stallions from the fillies. Defendant said, 
“ I have as much right as you to turn what I like there.” I saw 
defendant’s stallions breaking in more than once. I saw one jumping 
in over the gate. They were very “ mischiefful,” like many other little 
things. 1 saw no other stallions there.
