MARLBOROUGH STREET. 
Using a Glandered Horse in a Fublic Vehicle. 
William Walker, cab-driver, was charged with plying for hire with 
a horse, the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Liverson, cab-owner, of the 
Horseferry Road, it being unfit at the time for public use, being infected 
with a contagious disease, namely, glanders. 
The summons had been adjourned two or three times at the request 
of the defendant. 
Brown , 176 C, said that about the 11th or 12th of August last, while 
in South Audley Street, he saw the horse drawing a four-wheeled cab, 
it being driven by the defendant. He stopped and examined the horse, 
and found it was discharging matter from the nose, had two sores 
under the throat, and he believed it was suffering from glanders, and 
seemed in great pain. 
George Hazell , hackney-carriage attendant in the Waterloo Road, 
said that he examined the horse, considered it a glandered one, and told 
the defendant so. 
For the defendant, Mr. Thomas Doller, veterinary surgeon, of 
Bulstrode Mews, was called, and said he knew the horse. It had a dis¬ 
charge at the nose for eight days. He did not see it discharge dark- 
coloured matter with streaks of blood, and there was no appearance of 
glanders. 
To-day all parties were again in attendance, when Mr. Arthur Cherry , 
veterinary surgeon to the police, said he had that day examined the 
horse outside the court, and it was glandered in both nostrils. 
In answer to a question, Mr. Cherry said a horse would live several 
months though infected with glanders. 
Mr. Doller said when he saw the horse seven weeks ago, it had a cold 
and discharge at the nostrils, with enlarged glands. It was generally 
supposed when a horse had a discharge at the nostrils it was glandered. 
The horse in question was not glandered, and had not been within seven 
weeks, and was fit for public use. They did not shut themselves up 
when they had colds. 
Mr. Bingham , feeling some difficulty in deciding where doctors 
disagreed, and in a case of such importance to the public, resolved upon
