OBITUARY. 
We regret to have to record the death of Mr. Henry 
Corby, late Demonstrator at the College. Mr. Corby obtained 
the diploma of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 
1854, and entered shortly afterwards into country practice. 
In 1857 he was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy at the 
Royal Veterinary College, an office which he held until 
May, 1859, when he left this country for America. 
Arriving in the United States, he again engaged in the 
practice of his profession at St. Louis, Missouri. On the 
breaking out of the civil war he joined the federal volun¬ 
teers, and was present at the battle near Springfield, Mis¬ 
souri, fought on the 10th of August. During the en¬ 
gagement he was wounded no less than four times, from the 
effects of which he died four days afterwards, if not in the 
arms of victory, still in that which he believed to be the 
path of duty. 
We learn from the Melbourne Herald , September 26th, that 
on the 29th ult. a murderous assault, which, we regret to 
say, terminated fatally, was committed on Mr. Anthony 
Green, a well-known trainer and veterinary surgeon, by a 
jockey named Martin Rice. Green was engaged in superin¬ 
tending the shoeing of a horse when Rice came up and inter¬ 
fered, and told him he knew nothing about it. Green warned 
him to go away, but as the latter persisted in his remarks 
Green struck him a blow in the face. After an interval of 
about half an hour Green, who had left the yard and gone 
into his house, which was adjacent, returned, and renewed 
his occupation of superintending the shoeing of the horse, 
and, while in a stooping posture, he was struck on the head 
by Rice with a sledge hammer, which fractured his skull, 
lie was carried away, and died the next morning; and Rice, 
who was arrested shortly afterwards, has since been tried, 
and is condemned to be executed on Monday next. What 
V 
makes this lamentable occurrence still more painful is that 
the deceased has left a widow and children to mourn his vio¬ 
lent and untimely end. Mr. Green’s diploma is dated May 
21st, 1845.
