Loughborough: Sherwin v Pinsent: Claim £7 6s: Mr. Giles was for the plaintiff, and Mr. lnglesant for the defendant. On Dec. 10th last, plaintiff let a horse to the defendant to go to Ashby-de-la-Zouch market. When returning to Loughborough in the evening, the horse fell, but after having its foreleg dressed and bandaged, the defendant drove it home. On arriving at Loughborough, a deep wound was found in the inside of the fetlock, and a veterinary surgeon was sent for; but the animal continued getting worse up to December 22, when, by the surgeon’s advice, it was killed. Mr. E. Garton, veterinary surgeon, was of the opinion that the wound was not caused by a fall, and that it was highly improper to drive the animal home after it had received such an injury. His Honour, believing that the injury was caused by the fall and that there was nothing improper in driving it home after the wound was dressed and bandaged, gave judgment for the defendant.
