TH-E-C;i1.11.01.1.71.DEE THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMAL'S)

„,..
henry Laidiate. pin., of Bournemouth, appeared for the
third time to answer the charge of causing a horse then
affected with glanders to he removed on the highway at
Lytchett Matravers, on May 7th.—D.C.C. Ammon,' said
the Privy Council had objected to send down one of their
inspectors—they never did so except in cases of cattle
plague. He, however, had another witness. Mr. Leidlaw
objected to the witness being called, as he had bed no
notice of inch an intention; but the Bench decided to
hear him.—Mr. James Rowe, veterinary surgeon, of for'
ch4ster, said he had that morning carefully examined a
bay hack, a cart mare, and &donkey at Lytchett Matravers
The hack -"Charley"—was suffering from sub-acute
glanders in an advanced stage. He found a discharge (non
the near nostril, and it had become thickened from the
length of time the disease haul been going on. There was
an enlargement of the glands. He found extensive disease
of the lungs. There were many spots of ulceration on the
membrane of the nostril. The horse had a short, dry
cough, and became distressed after exertion, lie haul
known horses suffering from glanders to continue in that
state for • length of time. The pulse was at 45, an increase
on the normal state. The temperature was 1014. The
horse was looking fairly well in other respects—By the
D.C.C. : He believed the horse hail been suffering from
glanders for months. Witness continued that he examined
the donkey and found a large ulcerated spot about half-
way down the neck on the left side, anil a thickening of
the glands down to the chest. The glands were very much
enlarged. He should say the ulcer was caused !)3r innocu-
letion.—By the Bench : The result of innoeulating a
donkey from a glandered horse would Ise the same as
what he Saw in the donkey, but it haul not taken the
disease in a severe form. The results of innoculation
were supposed to be developed in six or seven days.—
Witness continued that the temperature of the donkey
was 104, and the pulse loft. He believed the donkey to
be suffering from farce, which would produce glanders
li, innoculation, and rice versa. He thought a
donkey innoculated with virus taken from a horse suffer-
ing (rem glanders in a sub-acute form might live a long
time. He thought the donkey would live a long time yet.
The only symptom it showed was farce, and he was of
opinion that this was the result of innoculation from a
glandered horse—By the Deputy Chief ConAtable: The
same appearance would not be produced by innoculation
with wens taken from a horse suffering from influence,
and supposing the wound to have been deeply ent.—Wis-
ness said he found the cart snare suffering from farce in a
very aggravated form. There were 2S farce buds, and eight
of them were sloughing and some of them discharging.
He did not think there could be any doubt that this was
the result of innoculation from glanders. It was generally
supposed that a donkey took innoculatinn quicker than a
horse, but in this case it was not so. There was a slight
discharge, thin and almost colourless, from the right
nostril. The membraneof the nostril had a bluish appear-
ance, which indicated to him that the disease was turning
to glanders,. Ile thought the mare would become ha Ily
glandered in a short time, and that it would not live very
long.—By Mr. lAidlaw : He did not think anyseie
could arrive at a correct conclusion as to how long
• glandereil animal could live. A deep incision would not
reuse ulceration, but there woulil be a sloughing woucci.
After a brief consultation the Chairman said the Bench
bad given the case their very hest attention, and upon the
evidence bef ore there they I sill eyed the hnrse was glenilered,
and they must convict Of cnorse they did not wish to
convict in the full pen ilty which eras 42.20, their only oh
ject being to show that the animal ought not to have been
removed under the cirrionstances. They lined defendant
£5 and costs—Mr. Laidlsw gave notice of appeal against
the detn4m.—The Chairman, rtmly to a qm,tion, sail
the magistrates no power to order the animals to to:
destroyed, but they must not Ise removed.
