Judge Monsarrat. The attorney for
the defense was right. How could the
suffering Of the horse be proved to the
satisfaction Of the COURT Clearly il
was impossible to put the horse on the
witness stand, because the regular
horse interpreter was not present, and
without the testimony of the horse,
how could any statute worshipping
magistrate say that il did or did not
sufferf If regular donkey had been
sitting on the bench, the horse could
have given evidence Understandings.
But the judge was Monsarrat and he
cannot understand horse talk.
Cease dismissed - be announced,
