Mr. /ftAz„D, on the part of the committees, °mond the Mo-

estate of the lunatic produced only 2,0001. a year.
• The LORD CHANCELLOR directed runner RflitißViHlUl be

stand over

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, 111Anytt 4.
BOY V. S1311,510)1.
This was an action to recover the value of a horse wrongfully
detained by the defendant.
ho PLuntlff; an ninheeper at Dartford, in August, 182.1,
sent the horse in question to a stable-keeper, in. ,tionthwark,
waited Prudence, to sell for him. Prudence Allowed the de.
feridant to have the horse on trial ; six weeks after, he called
on the defendant, and told hint the price of the horse was 30
guineas. defendant said he would not have the horse: he
was a roarer, very old, and would net, draw ; but he would
keep him till Prudence sent hint another horse. Other horses
were sent, but the defendant did not purchase them, or return
the Plaintiff's horse. Prudence went to him again in about
two months. and said he must either have the horse or the
money ; and he had' a bill against hint for 471. for the hire
of the horse, at the rate of 63. per day. The defendant Still
said he would not have the horse, but paid Prudence 801.,
wlikh Prudence represented was paid to him on account of the
charge of .171, instead of the price of the betas.
SCAH LETT, for the defendant, submitted that the.ad-
count given was wholly improbable. It was impossible to hay_
vitae that the defendant would keep such tt horse on hire
rill it amounted to- 471., when he could, in the first Justine?,
have bought the saint horse. for 30 guineas.. The charge was
greater in proportion than for the finest:carriage„herse in Len_
(lon. The fact We., the defendant had bought and paid for
horse;' and this was only, brought because Prudence. t,,j;
net paid the plaintiff the pricq he hail' received.
The defendant's clerk picireit Prudence to have said to !,.ita

The entire contents of the abdomen and pelvis were taken out.
The amtents of the cheat were, then removed. This occupied

moved, and on examination, the brain was found to be in a.
state of putridity. It had been injured bY,scveral bulls having
pierced the membrane, and a great quantity of blood was'
fount!, on the ventricala. The diasectiott proeeetted with uncom.
moo precision and celerity. Thepidley was placed very con.r
veniently for altering the position of the animal during' dissec-
tion, and the room was hept well fumigated. It. war,
worked by sev.end of the proleesiontd tientletnen present, that

The litterorticuhre eeetila:.re (between the joint of the upper

An application has been made to .31r.. etoss. fur the purchase
of the skeleton, to be sent to un A natranieal ,Theittre on the
Continent; but surely the Colle,,ee (ir :Surgeons will not allow
the largest skeleton ever dissected in Loglatid to has sent abroad,
when a south aunt would laticluise it.. M'e.ulmost forgot to
mention the enormous size or tire heart of the elephant- It was
nearly. two feet long, and ill inehia broad.; and was, when the
body was opened, immersed in aLont five or mix gallons of
blood. The skeleton will remain in Exeter Change for sonic;
days, after which it will be removed for the purpose of being
leaned.
In the ceurs.e of yesterday two large steaks wore cut trout the
rump of the elephant, and were cooked: Eh.. Brookes ate part ;
and during the day several other persons, ,male end female,
partook of them, expressed no disrelish for this novel food ;
but, on the motto.g declared that it was pleasant to the taste.
Bruce, in Ids TraVela,atates.that the ./I,bptainian hunters deem
the flesh el the elephant a rarity, end prefer it to Ll.t. flesh of
most other animals.
