resembled those so characteristic of calculus in the bladder. Mr. 
Anderson had, at different times, manipulated for calculus per rectum, 
but could never feel the hard sensation which a calculus would give to 
the hand, although, from other symptoms, viz. wide gait behind and 
urine being voided drop by drop, he was suspicious of stone. Mr. 
William Anderson’s object was, in bringing the case before the 
meeting, to show how careful a person ought to be, and not con¬ 
clude hastily with an opinion. Other very interesting cases were 
brought up and freely discussed.

YORK COUNTY COURT. 
Tuesday^ October \2th. 
A Case of “ Roaring.” 
GIDLAW V. HART. 
This was a jury case, in which the plaintiff, Mr. James Gidlaw, 
horse dealer, Leeds, who was represented by Mr. W. P. Husband, 
sought to recover £45 of the defendant, Mr. H. R. W. Hart, farmer, 
Dunnington Lodge, near York, for whom Mr. Dale appeared. The 
facts of the case are as follow:—On the 15th of April last, the 
plaintiff purchased of defendant, at Howden horse fair, a bay 
mare for 5645, and received a warranty of soundness. A few days 
afterwards the mare was forwarded with other horses to Brussels, 
but in July she was returned to the plaintiff as unsound. Notice in 
writing was sent to Mr. Hart of the return of the mare, and he was 
asked what was to be done. No answer was received from him, 
and the mare was duly advertised and sold, and realised 5625 4^., 
and the difference in price, £19 I65., it was sought to recover, 
together with £7, the cost of transit to Belgium and the return; 
printing and auctioneer’s bill, 56 1 125.; veterinary’s charge, IO5.; 
seventeen weeks’ keep, 5617 ; making a total of £45 I85. 
The plaintiff was called, and, after adducing the above facts, said 
that when the mare was returned from Brussels she was tried in 
harness and the saddle, and although in good condition she made a 
noise in her breathing, 
Mr. W. F. Stubbs said he rode the mare on the day of the sale, 
and told Mr. Hart that he thought there was something wrong in 
the wind of the animal, but Mr. Hart said it was not so. She blew 
very heavy, was very thick in the wind, and whistled in her 
breathing.
