VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
Chief Justice —And whether you are after a cliainpague lunch? 
(Laughter.) 
Mr. Fellows —What did you offer for Bayardo ? 
Witness—I offered £1400. 
Chief Justice —That was after a champagne lunch? (Laughter.) 
Witness—I offered more than he was worth. 
Elijah Glazebrook —Has been in the colony since last October. Is a 
trainer and jockey. (The witness gave a long list of the services in 
which he had learned his skill in England.) Came out in the “ Istan- 
boul ” with thirteen horses, twelve of them thoroughbred. They all 
had colds on the voyage. 
The evidence of this witness was objected to, as he spoke from the 
experience of a single voyage only; and, after a protracted effort to get 
his evidence in, he was at length withdrawn. 
William Hoskins —Has done a little in the law once. Served part of 
his time to an attorney. Has been a comedian since. Has been 
acquainted with race-horses for more than ten years. Knew St. Hubert. 
H as seen him run at Newmarket, in the race called the 2000-guinea 
race. He came in second; he ran a very good second to Lord of the 
Isles. Kingston came in a good third. 
Mr. Michie —What was your opinion of St. Hubert? 
Witness—I thought he was the best bred horse in the world. 
(Laughter.) Honorable gentleman may laugh, but I can prove it by 
the ‘ Turf Book/ He was by Surplice, out of Farina. He cost two 
thousand guineas a two-year old. 
The Chief Justice had to assure the witness that the Court did not 
take judicial notice of the ‘Turf Book/ (Laughter.) 
Examination continued.—Knew a horse called Bayardo. He started 
first favourite for the Doncaster St. Leger when it was won by the 
Knight of St. George. St. Hubert was a much higher-class horse than 
Bayardo. 
Cross-examined—Bayardo is eight years’old. St. Hubert would be 
six years old if he were alive. 
Mr. Wright —If St. Hubert were so valuable a horse, how came he 
to be sold for £ 100? 
Witness —If I were permitted to go into detail of matters of fact that 
1 could not state as legal evidence, I could tell you exactly how he came 
to be sold for £100. 
The Chief Justice intimated that witness must not state what did not 
come within the definition of legal evidence. 
Witness —St. Hubert, as a sire, was worth 3000 guineas. In 
England no man could expect to send a mare to him under 25 or 30 
guineas. 
James Hudson —Saw St. Hubert run at Newmarket. Thinks he 
would have been worth £600 or £700 if he had arrived here. It is hard 
to say what his value might be. Two or three parties might desire to 
own him, and then nothing would stop them. He was as good a horse 
as Bayardo. He had not performed as well in England. 
[It was now past 5 o’clock, and it was proposed to adjourn. The 
Court left it to the jury to decide according to their convenience. Mr. 
Wright said the defendant’s case alone would occupy six hours, and if 
they went on they could not close before 12 o’clock. The jury pre¬ 
ferred going on and finishing, though it should take to 12 o’clock.] 
John Miscamble— Is a veterinary surgeon. Has practised 14 years. 
Glanders consists of the discharge of poisonous matter from one or both 
nostrils of a horse and a swelling under one or both jaws, with ulcers
