sending 1 tlie horse to the Veterinary College for examination; and some 
time after, on Brown, the constable, returning, the following certificate 
was handed to his worship: 
“Royal Veterinary College, College Street, 
Camden Town, Sept. 25, 1858. 
“ I certify that I have examined the horse brought by Police- 
Constable Brown, 176 C, and I find that the horse is infected with 
a highly contagious disease termed glanders, and that it ought at once 
to be destroyed. 
(Signed) 
“ George Varnell, Assistant-Professor. 5 ’ 
On behalf of the defendant, it was asked that the summons might be 
again adjourned for a month, as a highly respectable surgeon had stated 
that it could be cured, and that that would be the best test whether it 
was glandered or not. 
Mr. Bingham said he refused the request. He had done the best by 
evidence and inquiry to get something to satisfy his own judgment. 
He should therefore order the defendant to pay 40.?., and the full costs. 
At the same time, as it was dangerous, and he had not the power of 
ordering it to be destroyed, he would advise the owner not to make use 
of it. 
On the part of the owner it was again stated that she was not satisfied, 
and would endeavour to have it cured.
