VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
plaintiff about the horse belonging to a foreign gentleman was not true, 
as he had bought it of a Mr. Clive in February last for 40 guineas. 
A man named Lambert was called by the defendant, and he said he 
had been in the habit of riding the horse for the defendant several times 
a week, and that he always found it quiet. He said if it had not been 
so he could not have sat the horse, as he had lost the use of the right 
side of his body through paralysis, and though he had recovered the use 
of his arm, he still felt a numbness in his right leg. 
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, £75. 
SECOND COURT.— February 6. 
(Sittings at Nisi Frias, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and 
Common Juries) 
TIPriNG V. CROFTS. 
This was an action for money had and received, and also on agree- 
meat to return oO guineas in respect to a horse for which it was de¬ 
posited, for conversion of the cheque, and there was also a plea of fraud. 
The defendant pleaded never indebted, infancy, and other pleas. 
Mr. Hutchins , Q. C., and Mr. Keane were counsel for the plaintiff; 
Mr. Serjeant Pigott and Mr. Addison were counsel for the defendant. 
The plaintiff is a gentleman residing at Brasted Park, Sevenoaks, 
and in October last his attention was directed to an advertisement of a 
horse to be seen at Paragon Stables, Paragon Street, Hackney. The 
horse was described as young, a perfect hunter, &c., and on going to 
the stables the plaintiff was pleased with the appearance of the horse; 
and as the advertisement stated a ten days’ trial would be permitted, he 
had the horse sent to his home for that purpose, depositing at the de¬ 
fendant’s request his cheque for fifty guineas as a security. When the 
horse arrived at Brasted Park he was examined by a veterinary surgeon, 
when he was found to he over eleven years old, and not to answer the 
description. The plaintiff wrote to the defendant, and sent the horse 
back, and demanded the return of the cheque. That, however, was re¬ 
fused, on the ground that there was only to be a two days’ trial, and the 
horse had been kept five days. 
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount 
claimed. 
HULL COUNTY COURT.— Thursday. 
(Before W. Raines, Es(^., Judge.)

ing was the only case of interest: 
HORSE CASE.—WALLIS V. CALEY. 
This case was tried by jury, and occupied the whole afternoon. 
Mr. Chester appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pettingell for the 
defendant.
