The Eaw against Exposing Glanders. —We have re¬ 
ceived several letters from veterinarians, mostly from the Bor¬ 
ough of Manhattan, New York City, inquiring as to the law 
under which a Brooklyn veterinarian was fined $250 for having 
caused to be led through the streets a horse suffering from 
glanders and farcy. In answer to our various correspondents we 
append a copy of Section 658 of the Penal Code, which is as 
follows : “ Sec. 658. Selling- or offering to sell , or exposing dis¬ 
eased animal .—A person who wilfully sells or offers to sell, uses, 
exposes, or causes or permits to be sold, offered for sale, used or 
exposed, any horse or other animal having the disease known as 
glanders, or farcy, or other contagious or infectious disease dan¬ 
gerous to the life or health of human beings, or animals, or 
which is diseased past recovery, or who refuses upon demand to 
deprive of life an animal affected with any such disease, is guilty 
of a misdemeanor.” Numerous prosecutions have been obtained 
under this law for leading glandered horses through the streets, 
omitting to have horses killed after knowledge of their con¬ 
dition, refusing on demand to have a glandered horse shot, etc. 
Selling a glandered horse has been punished by a fine of $300, 
$250; etc. A man permitting his horse to drink from a public 
trough, he knowing the animal to be diseased, has been held 
to be liable to an owner of a horse contracting the disease from 
that source. In the case of a man named Garson, who sold a 
glandered horse in New York, as far back as 1877, the offender 
received a sentence of six months’ imprisonment in the peniten¬ 
tiary.
