COUNTY LIST OF VETERINARY SURGEONS.

It has been about a good deal, and there was no suggestion that other 
animals had been infected. The discharge which the inspector saw came 
from a kick. He (Mr. Watts) further argued that the defendant gave 
notice in all practicable speed, although it was not believed to be glanders, 
and he intended to ask for compensation for the slaughter of the horse. 
The Chairman said he was directed by the Bench to say that they would 
like Mr. Watts to confine his case simply to the question of knowledge. 
They still held and ruled that the evidence of the veterinary inspector 
was conclusive and precluded defendant from calling rebutting evidence 
as to the existence of the disease. 
Thomas Brown , the defendant, was then sworn, and said he bought the 
pony at Godmanchester Fair on Easter Tuesday. He noticed a little 
swelling under the off side eye, and the man told him it arose from a kick, 
and he took no further notice of it. The wound was about the size of a 
walnut, and there was a discharge from both nostrils. The coat was 
very healthy. He constantly worked the pony and went about a good deal 
with it. It ate and drank well. He went to Mr. Marson directly after 
Mr. Fordham, had been, but he had no reason to suspect that the pony 
was suffering from glanders. He received an intimation from his landlord 
that the pony should be killed. 
Mr. Marshall (his landlord and a magistrate).—“It was suggested in 
the interest of the public that the horse might be destroyed.” 
The Chairman intimated that they were of opinion that the defendant 
had not knowledge that the horse was affected with glanders, and the 
case would be dismissed on that ground. 
Mr. Watts said he should have proved by veterinary evidence that it 
was not glanders at all, but perhaps it was better there should be no 
contradiction of evidence. 
The Chairman .—The magistrates think that their veterinary inspector 
is as good as any one you can call, and on that point they are against 
the defendant.
