LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Mr. Justice Shee and a Common Jury.)
XEYES V. TAYLOR.

The plaintiff in this action is a licensed victualler carry-
ing on business at the Pheasant Tavern, Stangate, and the
defendant is a veterinary surgeon. Mr. Keyes, it appeared,
was possessed of a very handsome and docile pony, and on
the occasion of its being brought home by the defendant's
son after being shod, it went down and injured its knees to
such an extent, that the plaintiff said it was rendered
nearly useless. The defendant, on the matter being
represented to him, said the matter was a pure accident,
which he regretted very much. The plaintiff alleged that
the pony met with the accident in consequence of the de-
fendant's son violently galloping him home, and that he
had no right whatever to ride the pony; had he led him
home in the proper way, namely, with a halter, the acci-
dent would not have occurred.
The case created some merriment in consequence of the
following questions being put to the defendant:—
Counsel—The pony was a very docile one, I believe ?
Defendant—Yes.

Counsel—As docile as a dog ?

Defendant—Well, yes, it was a quiet thing.
Counsel—You've seen it walk about the plaintiff's bar, and
help itself to cakes
.? (L aught er.)
Defendant—No, I never saw it do that. (Laughter.)
Counsel—l do not mean that the pony went the length of
drawing beer, but you've seen him come into the bar as
quiet as a dog ?
Defendant—l've seen the pony behind the bar—(laughter)
—and it might have been eating a cake.
Counsel—lt liked sweet things ? (Loud laughter.)
Defendant—l don't know. (Laughter.)
Counsel—Did you never see it walk upstairs? (Laughter.)
Defend ant--No.
Counsel—Nor stand upon a table ? (Laughter.)
Defendant--No; but I've seen it get upon a butt.
(Laughter.)
The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages £5.
