Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I have been
accustomed to horses since I was thirteen years of age ; I am
now seven-and-twenty. Mr. Goodman told me, at New-
market, to buy the colt. He told me to bny him a foal or
two, if they were cheap. He gave me no description of the
foalle wanted either verbally or in writing. He sent me a
letter when he paid me, but did not ask for any description
of the foal which I had bought; I am quite certain that I
had no instructions either verbally or in writing as to the
sort of foal that Mr. Goodman wanted. The white hairs in
the forehead were together. At the time I bought the colt,
he was a shabby-looking animal; but he had large limbs.
The pasterns were not long; the off-fore foot did not turn
out more than that of most horses. I should say-it did not
turn out at all.
Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—It did not turn out Sot .as.to
attract my notice. At the time I bought the foal, Mr. Good-
man was running several horses; I had two of his horses at
that time.
Wm. Wiles examined by Mr. JAMES—In 1841 I was the
servant of Mr. Henry Stebbing. I went to' Mr. Cobb's re-
specting a foal ; it was a bay foal, without any white except
a few white hairs on the forehead. The legs were all black.
' I paid for it, and directed it to be sent to Mr. King's. The
last time I saw it was at Mr. King's.
His Loitimitir here inquired if the horse could be seen by
himself and the Jury?
The SotAmon-GENtenAL said they had applied for per-
mission to see it and had been refused.
Mr.COCKBURN said he would inform his Lordship presently
under what circumstances.
His LORDSHIP said he should like to see the horse, and lie
thought the jury would also. He was quite sure the verdict
would be set aside if the horse were not seen.
Mr. COCKBURN said if his Lordship's order had been pro-
perly used there would have been no obstacle.
. His Lorwsiiir said whatever use might have been made of
the order, he was sure it would be worse for the parties if
it were not seen now.
Mr. Cock-BURN had not the slightest objection to his Lord-
ship and the jury seeing the horse.
Robert Spanton examined by Mr. COCKBURN—In the year
1841 I was in the service of Mr. King, the training-groom, at
Malton. In the month of December, 1841, I fetched away a
foal, and brought it to Mr. King's; it remained in the stable
about six weeks, and was afterwards turned out on Mr.
King's paddock. I attended to it during the whole time ; it
was a bay colt with black legs ; there was no white about the
legs, but there was a little about the forehead; it did not
amount to what we call a star. The heels were cracked very
much. The ears were rather wide.
Cross-examined by the Soucrron-GEsERAL---The hind
heels were cracked. It is a very common thing for a horse to
have cracked heels.

John Andrews, examined by Mr. JAMES-My brother is a
training-groom, at Hambledon. I reside with him. In
January, 1842, I was at York. I came from. Thirak with
him to meet the foal. I came up to London
by a train, which conveyed a foal. I brought
him to Eusten-square station. It was dark when I arrived in
London. The foal was met either by a man or a lad. I saw
him next morning, at Mr. Goodman's stables in Folerplace.
He was of a bay colour. Some would have entered him bay
or brown, his legs were black. lam not aware that he had
any white about him. After seeing him at Mr. Goodman's
stables I never saw him again except at Newmarket. I cannot
swear that the horse I saw at Newmarket was Mr. Good-
man's colt, but it was just such a horse as the colt seemed
likely to become.
John Andrews re-examined by Mr. JAmEs—ln December
1841 I was in the service of Mr. Fowlis, attending his
hunters at Cobb's.
Daniel White, examined by Mr. JAMESS—I anftin the ser-
vice of Mrs. Allen in Albemarle-street. In 1842, I was at
Mr. Joseph's livery-stables, in Foley-place. I went to the
Euston- square station for a foal in January, 1842, which I
got on arriving there, and took to Mr. Goodman's stables. I
remained there two nights. I took him every afternoon to
Mr. Pearl's in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and left him
there. I saw him afterwards'in the September of that year,
at Mr. Bean's at Finchley. I went to fetch him for Mr.
Goodman. I took him to Mr. Goodman's house first, and
from there to Mr. llaynes's livery stables in Langham-
place, where, according to Mr. Goodman's order, I left him.
Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I lived with
Mr. Josephs, whose stables were used by Mr. Goodman at
different times. I cannot say how long the colt remained at
Pearl's. George White attended to the colt in Mr. Good-
man's stables. I met him about two months since near
Foley-place, and he said he was going to a situation at Paris.
