Dryer spoke of her lameness, but she was not lame ; she
went out a little stiff, and in a short time she was all right.
I did not hear anything about navicular disease ; I heard
Mr. Dryer say it would not stop her work, but that she
would ho all right—that she would be able to go. I can't
tell how many miles my brother drove her in the park at
Chehenham. lie drose several times round the park. I
should think he drove her for an hoer. He wu by himself.
I can't swear whether she was out again on trial before she

1 did not know whether the 1,0001. I sent to Darcey was a
loan or a gift. I once advanced Ducey 6001. ; and I have
advanced hundreds and thousands to my brother, and so
ban he to me. 1 'sever knew Kennedy or Captain Head
before Ia ew them at Hull. Captain Head may have been
in the room when the bet was made.
William Deck, examined by Mr. Iluddlestone—l was a
in the emoloyment of Captain Holder Alleyne in
le ft him iu 1a47. I was with him at Scarborough
in 1846. I remember Pigeon being at Scarborough in
1846; she was under my rare. She was a pretty mare, you
may call her; and I never saw such a mere to trot in my
life. I remeniber the bursts being taken from Scarborough
to Cheltenham, and their stopping at Hull on the way. Pe-
rron was We of them. I believe Mr. Kennedy saw her when
ate was there. Then. was a bet made which 1 win sent for into
the bedroom I was told of the bet the next morning by
my master and Mr. Joseph Alleyne. In my judgment the
mare could Ism trotted rather more than 17 miles an hour,
The horses were taken on to Cheltenham. Pigeon was put
into training there, and continued in training during the
months of !Complier and December. I remember Mr.
Beyer being called W..' alter she had been trotting 18
milts within the hour. That was when she had been oar
the road to Tewkesbury. The captain told me that he hail
trotted to Tewkesbury church and back. There was nothing
at all the matter with her when Beyer saw her. 1 can't say
what he had done to her, but he sand she had the navicular
and could never do any work after. He did not
say anything to me about the navicular disease, but I heard
the words said. There was a little stiffness betwixt the fet-
lock joint and the fuot, but she bad not got the " varialer"
disease. The stiffens. went off.
Lord Campbell—When she got warm?
Witness--Slie did nut get warm at all ; there was no
occasion for it. (Laughter.) The stiffness did not inter-
fere with her work or training. The captain used to take
her out to exercise. She was all right when she came back.
She was in good working condition. I remember taking
the male to the trloueester station, and she was put into a
box there to net, to Swindon. She ass then in good condi-
tion, and in any judgment fit to do the match, and to do
mare—that's more. back her to do nineteen miles an
hoar, if she's living. I received orders from the Her. Mr.
Alleyne to take her hick to the stable, and took her out of
the boa again. I believe I led her back. After that she
win seat to Mr. filuttridge'n.
Crosesournined by Mr. James—The captain told me she
had come from America. Ile told me that at different
times. She comet from America ; he didn't bring her.
(A laugh.) Ile told me her name was Pigeon. He did
not tell me she was called Fanny Jenks ; and I saw by ma
American paper that sirs had trotted 100 miles in 10 hones,
The captain talked to 1111' of the wonderful things she bad
done in America, and that he had given about 300 i. for bey.
1 went to ketch Beyer. I will swear that I did not tell him
she was lame. I went to fetch him because she was a little
lame ; 1 was quite aware of that. Perhaps 1 told him the
mare was lame, I won't my. I won't say the words I said
to the man. I went to fetch him on the captain's account.
The captain might think she Was lame, but I did not.
Beyer slid not attend her from that time to the 10th of
December.
Mr. James—Did he not apply
Witness—Whit ?
Well, what du you call the 1-1 calls "em what you or
any one party may use—what a veterinary surgeon would
give—what is proper for a hors., when I've got 'em, and
things of that sort. 1 have had 'em for the whole of my
life. (Much laughter.)
Isle. James—Slaw you had embrocation for the whole of
your life—what do you mean, man ?
Witness—Bmbereations--what's they ?
What did Mr. Beyer do ?—What didihe do ? Why she
was outlet up in a sweating blister, to be sure. (Laughter?
He might base put a sweating blister on the foot. 1 can t
tell what it was—some stuff or ether. It might have re-
mained two or three days, bat it is false that it remained on
a fortnight. The shoe was taken off, and there were poul-
tices. it was the near fore lout. 1 can't tell how long the
shoe remained silt-1 urn sure it was not a fortnight.
Was it a week ? Was she .(week without going out ?
Nu, she varlet a week, 111 swear. Captain' 11PGeachy
Alleyne was there, and saw her often. The mare hail not
the navicular disease.
What is that disease ?—I knows if a boss gets the vicular
disease, he never gets cured of it. (Laughter.)
Did she rap her leg in teaselling?—The mare might rap
her leg the same as you might rap your leg. (Laughter.)
1 have never seen the mare since I left Cheltenham. lam
now in Use service of Archer Macaulay, Esq., of Scar-
borough.
Ile-examined by Mr. Uuddlestone—The sweating blister
did nut interfere with her training. I think the shoe was
put on the morning after it was taken off. The fact of the
matter is, I had the mare clipped after that to go and do
the " defect." (Laughter.)
By the Court—She was tit for the match.
Joseph Uuttridge, examined by Mr. Iluddlestone—l am
a • snag surgeon at Nortbleach. I was formerly jou-
tieing in Cheltenham. I remember Pigeon being put
under my care on the 14th of January, 1847. I had seen
her several times previously. I had seen Captain AUeyne
drive her three or four tunes. I fancied she " were " a
wonderful mare. She was in good condition when she was
brought house—in good hard, Arm, healthy condition. She
appeared to me to be sound.
Lord Campbell—After you hail examined her?
Wituess--Yes, after 1 had examined her, she appeared
sound,
By Mr. Iluddkatone—She wee put in my care for the
winter. 1 exercised her and rude her myself. Occasionally
I trotted her. I found her a little lame after first bringing
her out of the stable fur the first week or two after she
came to me. It went off after she got into exercise. It
did not interfere with tier work. 1 detected that some em-
brocation had been rubbed in, and I was then given to un-
derstand that she had been under the ease of Mr. Dryer.
She remained with me until April, 1847, when she was sent
foe to go to Loudon. She was then perfectly sound. I
never detected the slightest lameness, with the exception of
that once ; and I exercised and trotted her myself until
about the day she left. I put her through a course of
medicine. I could form no idea that the mare ever
laboured under uavicular disease. I should my not. 1
should up from the style of her going she could do from
14 to 16 miles an hour. I have never pat her to her speed.
Cruse-examined by Mr. James—Beet will prevent the
navieular disease from being seen, apeciolly when it is is
as Incipient state, and if a hone has got that disease and
is trotted at the rate of Di miles on boor, it w0u!.pr0b.2.1.11
show itself the next day. I never tried the ~ l's
beyond aor 10 miles an hour. I fancied there was • MY*
enlargement of the upper part of the foot, but not that

foamed she went a little tender. I mentioned it to Captain
Alkyne, who told me she had been under Mr. Beyer, end
he fancied she was lams in the navicular *at.
