VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
riage. I never heard of students going to drink and smoke with 
the Principal. I was never asked by the Principal to get up a peti¬ 
tion against Mr. M‘Bride. 
By the Solicitor-General—I never saw the petition lie in the office 
for signature. I was at the Principal’s house every time I was 
required on business. I lived next door to the college. There were 
more than a dozen in the class ill behaved. 
By the Lord Advocate—The rows were caused by the students 
being dissatisfied with the subjects Mr. M‘Bride lectured upon, and 
also that he ground students. 
John Fawthrop, veterinary student, deponed—The only time 
ever I was in the Principal’s house drinking and smoking was on 
his birthday. 
By the Solicitor-General—I never saw Dr. Dalzell in the house in 
rny life. I was one of those who stamped with their feet. I did 
not think Mr. M‘Bride’s lectures were learned enough. He lectui'ed 
about that absurd disease—“ tail ill.” I had never heard of it before. 
I went there to learn. There was no other reason for the dis¬ 
turbance. 
Samuel Fallen, student, deponed—I was one of the petitioners 
against Mr. M‘Bride. I was never in the habit of going to the 
Principal’s at night to drink and smoke. 
By the Solicitor-General—I do not know whether I was pleasing 
the Principal in making a noise. I did it for my own benefii. 
(Laughter.) 
Philip Deighton, student, deponed—I signed both the peti¬ 
tions. (Laughter.) I was never in the Principal’s house smoking 
or drinking. 
By the Solicitor-General—T attended Dr. Young’s class as well 
as Mr. M‘Bride’s class. Some of the persons made a noise in 
Dr. Young’s class who made a noise in Mr. M‘Bride’s class. The 
petition against Mr. M'Bride was presented to me first. I signed 
it because the others did. I asked Capes to take my name off next 
morning. 
Henry McGrath deponed—I never had the pleasure of being at 
the Principal’s house in my life. 
Charles Cartwright, student, gave corroborative evidence. 
Charles Craig, groom, deponed—I knew the last servant at the 
Priticipal’s house whom they used to call “Daft Kate” and “Holy 
Kate.” (Laughter.) She used to behave in a very curious 
manner. If she was carrying glasses, and took a fit of laughing, 
she used to fall on the ground, and broke the glasses. (Laughter.) 
By the Solicitor-General—She used to preach and then swear, 
she and I being the congregation. (Laughter.) She sometimes 
preached in the stable, and sometimes in the yard. (Laughter.) I 
w as visited by the agent for the pursuer, who asked me what I 
knew. I would not tell him. 
Bv the Lord Advocate—I never knew the students smoking or 
drinking with the Principal. 
Malcolm McGregor deponed—I am agent for the trustees of
