A'ery famouS for either beatify or a6lion, and its
Merits had never been recorded in the Chfonicles of
-Racing Intelligence, yet it was an animal of great
sagacity, and knew Jis well as any horse in the
neighbourlidodhoW to find out the best and.swee test
grass in the parish when the field gates were thrown
open by the compassionate kindness of that fair
damsel the Plaintiff's daughter. He Was instrtfted,
.that he should be,able to prove, that this horse had
been seen late in the evening before it was int-
poundtd; straying in the lane to which the De.
fendant's fields communicated by gates ; and that
-the morning on which the horse had been found in
the Defendant's field and impounded, the Defend. -
ant's 4ate was found open,"-and ,the mark of this
horse's foot, which was remarkably small -and ill_
.formed, was distinlly to be seen at the entrance
into the field by the gate. .
Several witnesses on the part of the Defendant,
swore, that the fences were in good repair, and.
that the horse's foot was so remarkable that the
marks of it might. well be sworn to. " •
The Defendant's son in giving'an account of the
crstraining and impounding this animal, 'said, that -
on going into the field in the morning he saw the -
gate open, and the, footsteps of this horse about it
he then seeing the horse in the field, .brought it, by
his father's direaions, -to one of its out:houses, and
gave it hay ;. that they afterwards returned to the
t field, and-looked all round. at the. hedges to -see
whether there was any gap by' which the horse
Might have got in.; but they found the hedges in
perfea ordtr:
Lord Et.t.Nnottouex observed to .the Jury,,
that whenever he saw an unusual solicitude to•
prove Minute circumstances in a cause; he examined
that cause with a-greater suspicion.- SaMe of this
-cunning was displayed' in the condua of- the De-
fendant's cause, but more in the witnesses who sup-
ported the Plaintiff. •
The Defendant's .son, for example, had told a
story which, appeared to him.utterly.voici of pro.:
'bability; .he had completely overshot the mark :
the witness said, that the first thing they did with
this horse, (that had been stuffing itself all night in
a good pasture), was to give ;t bay. Secondly, he
said that his father 'and he went round the-field to.
examine whether there was- any gap in the fence
through which the - horse could have .goti in ; but
for what purpose did they look-? The witness said,
--that o,n his first coming into the field he found the
gate open, and -saw plainly the remarkable foot-
steps of this animal ; well knowing then .that the
horse came in at the gate, what was the use in ex-
amining the gaps ? those cireumstances utterly de-
stroyed the credit of the story in his mind ; it was
the province of the Jury to pronounce .which story
Was the most probable.—Verdi} for the Plaintiff-L
