The Colonel said he bed come up from Devonshire : no-

were for sale at No. 13, Hatuerpleos, Chelsea. He
wont there, and saw • pair of extremely hand-
some horses to all sppiarence, and when be was

with him who had examthed hie horses, would show how

- Mr. Williams, a isbabary surgeon, said he had examined
the horses. Om had a cataract in the eye, sad had one of
Its bet swollen no as to make It go team and the other was
a perfect roarer, one was stated to be dm youth° other six
years old, sad me wee twelve, perhaps Watson years old.
They were very bed horses, and if valued at all would not
be worth 101. He did not know what they were nt for, he
did not think they could be put in a osb.
Mr. Painter remarked these tricks were mans= ; be had
very nasty been taken In himself, bet the defect it the horse
he bed nearly purchased could only have been dimmed by
the most parted, veterinary surgeon, whereas all the defeats
Mr. WILLOW spoke of IMO so palpable he hardly thought
an one could have overlookedthem
Mr. Williams said the lameness while they were
being shown would not probably be noticed. Previous to
the hues being brought out, it would be lashed most unmer-
eifolty; decor six men would then run it up and down en
open plass, besting it all the time, and it would be so ter-
rified that the humus would not be peroaptible ; in fact,
the home woad go quite emend. As regarded the cataract,
it might not he pensive(' at the time, sad sometimes the

what the men emu for the money he represented that •
number of people ware after the horses, and applicant, sup-
posing It to be • feet, was taken off his guard.
Mr. Poynter was amid be could not assist the applicant
If he west to the men who sold the horses he might, and
justly my, "No, when the twenty-one day. expire you

to show the money would not tie returned. Applicant must
wait the twenty-one de, s, and area getting no redress then,
be (the worthy magistrate) did not think he could sestet hint.
Mr. Williams said offers were frequently made in such
asses to buy back the horses for half the mossy or something
of that sort.
The Colonel then withdrew, after thanking Mr. Poynter.

of India having decided that the government of
India shall construct and lay down the cable from
Burwell to Knrrachee," they recommend that the
cash now in hand shall be at once divided. The
distribution will be Ss. pet share, out of the deposit
of 10s. paid. The director. reasonably complain of
the vacillating conduct of the British government in
their dealings with them, and append to the report
copies of the correspondence which has passed. It

agency of this company will not be required for con-
structing the telegraph to India by the Persian

carry out its objects should an opportunity offer.
