VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE.

way than by whip or spurs. I am not very friendly with the Yeos. 
I do not offer them insult in the street. I am not on bad terms with 
them. I don’t know that Yeo is a veterinary surgeon. 
Jonathan Maker said: I keep a blacksmith’s shop at the bottom 
of Back Street. I recollect Yeo’s riding a horse there about a 
month since. He had trouble with it. He was whipping and 
spurring it. He whipped it over the hips, shoulders, and head. 
There were marks on the off leg, which appeared to be whip marks. 
I should not think the treatment necessary for training the horse. 
There were several people there. I saw Mr. Collins’s horse in Oliver’s 
stable on Midsummer day, and believe it to be the same. There 
were dry wounds on it then. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Wallis .—It was on a Monday I saw Yeo 
riding the horse. I believe it was the 30th May. Mr. Mudge was 
there. The horse was ill-treated. Yeo had trouble with it. He 
struck it on the head. Mr. Collins asked me to go and see the 
horse on the 25th of June. I believe it to be the same horse. The 
tail did not come below the hocks. Yeo was riding a horse, not 
a mare. 
William Phillips said: I recollect the occasion in question. I 
was in Maker’s shop. I saw Yeo riding the horse. He was whip¬ 
ping and spurring it. It was kicking, and he had trouble with it. 
The sides were bleeding. Yeo was trying to get it up Chapel Lane. 
After some time it went up out of our sight. I saw the same horse 
on the day after Midsummer day. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Wallis .—Yeo was riding the horse to and 
fro. It was troublesome. I think it was ill-treated. It was a 
dark bay horse. The tail did not reach to the hocks. It was on a 
Monday; about a month ago. 
William Harvey said—On the 30th May I saw young Yeo with 
a colt coming up Chapel Lane. He was spurring it tremendously. 
He then went down the lane, and got off the horse, and beat it 
about the head. He beat it savagely. I saw six or seven blows. I 
could hear the sound, though I was at the top of the lane, and am 
also rather deaf. I was obliged to turn away, for I could not look 
any longer. I saw a horse in Oliver’s stable, and believe it to be 
the same. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Wallis .—It was on a Monday or Tues¬ 
day. I don’t think the horse was giving Yeo trouble. I saw him 
get off the horse and beat it. It was with its hind part against 
the wall when he got off. I heard the horse was in Oliver’s 
stable, and went down to see it. The tail reached not quite to 
the hock. 
John Truscott said: I am a carpenter. My shop is in Chapel 
Lane. I recollect about a month since seeing Richard Yeo there 
with a horse. It was near Captain Alms’s door. He got off the 
horse and beat it with a stick about the head. Mr. Harvey was there. 
I thought the treatment was unnecessary. I considered it cruel 
treatment. Yeo had a stick. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Wallis : I did not see Yeo before he got 
off. It was a bay horse.
