Tobin , DEATH OF A HORSE IN DISPUTE . ACTION AGAINST THE RAILWAY COMPANY FAILS . The Great Western Railway Company were sued by Arthur Allington , farmer and dealer , Barrs Court , for £ 50 damages sustained by the loss of a mare . Mr. Graham Milward ( instructed by Mr. W. P. Levick ) was for the plaintiff and Mr. D. C. Bartley ( instructed by Mr. I. B. Page , solicitor for the Great Western Railway Company ) was for : the defendant company .. Mr. Graham Milward for the plaintiff , said the facts were simple . The cob in question was sold by a man named Churchill , of Leominster , to Allington , the plaintiff . It was received by Alling- ton and after keeping it a short time he sent it from Worcester back to Churchill at Leominster . The cob arrived on July 17th at Leominster Station . It seemed that there was a practice for Churchill's horses to be sent up to Mr. Blanchard's stables , When the horse arrived at Leominster the porter took it up to Mr. Blanchard's and told Mrs. Blanchard " This is one of Churchill's horses . " Leominster Station and the Stationmaster told him At 8.30 the same evening Mr. Churchill arrived at a horse fad arrived for him and asked him to sign for it . He refused to do so and going to Mr. Blanchard's found the cob was turned out in the field . The next morning , July 18th , he was going away by train and the Stationmaster again asked him to sign and he refused to accept delivery of the cob . At 3-30 he returned to Leominster and the Station Master again asked him to sign for the horse Churchill said the cob was one in dis- pute and that it was not his and he would have nothing to do with it . On the 20th of July the Railway Company wrote to Mr. Lane ( plaintiff's agent ) informing him that Churchill refused to accept the horse and that it remained at his risk- and expense at Leominster . A similar letter was written to Churchill on the 18th . Both parties re- fused to have anything to do with the matter . On July 24th a man passing through Mr. Blan- chard's field saw a cart mare kick this cob over the heart . It fell down , got up , fell down again and was dead . The only question was what was the position of the railway company in law . Hav ing ascertained that the question was to what extent were they liable by their negligence . Their position as carriers , came to an end when the consignee refused to accept the mare . From that day they were warehousemen . He contended that the defendants were negligent in delivering the horse to Mr. Blanchard as " One of Churchill's horses . " Churchill had no definite arrangement with Mr. Blanchard and his standard of care for was very different from that of a reasonable owner . If Mr. Blanchard had been in- formed that this was an animal in dispute he would have exercised care in regard to it . Plaintiff in evidence said he bought the horse from Churchill for £ 40 . He hoped to sell the horse to the Government as a packer for £ 65 , his horses seller's railway Retailers selling in a stall or shop are required to exhibit notices showing the class and maxi- mum price for the eggs on sale and to distinguish imported fresh eggs from home - produced fresh eggs .

A hundred searchlights . crossed and re- crossed the sky , flares were lit , star shells fired , and in some of the greater ships even a firework display was given . GOOD PRICES REALISED . The sale of Mr. H. Langston's farming stock ,, in- ing 39 head , took place at Marston , on Thursday . There was a fair company and the auctioneer , Mr. Frank Russell ( of Edwards , Russell & Baldwin ) disposed There were of the cattle at very , satisfactory prices . also 116 excellent Shropshire sheep which sold well , although perhaps the trade was a little easier than of late . Ewes , in bunches of five , made from 70s , to 88s . per head , ewe lambs from 27s . to 56s . , wethers from 21s . to 53s . , and two shearling rams 77s . 6d . and 90s . The dairy cattle , horses , pigs , implements , etc. , were also well sought after . A complete set of Twyford , for £ 50 and a set of Shropshire Flock Hereford Herd Books was purchased by Mr. Tinsley , Books ( except the first two volumes ) was secured by Mr. Whiteman , The Hyde , for £ 1 . The following were the prices of the pedigree cattle : COWS AND CALVES . Kingsland but it was rejected . To anyone but the Govern ment it was worth £ 55 . The horse was sent back because it was rejected by the Army . He did not do anything until the 26th , when he found the horse was dead and was present at the post mor- tem examination .. He thought Churchill would take the horse . It was not right that the should be placed in a field with two strange mares which were fully shod . mare Harvey Lane , plaintiff's agent , said he received a letter on the 20th stating that the cob was dead and he sent a telegram to plaintiff . In his opinion the company should have seen tha horse was sent to an hotel and stabled . the Mrs. Blanchard gave evidence of the arrival of the horse and said it had been turned out in the same field before . It was sent to plaintiff . George Ernest Churchill said he stabled at Mr. Blanchard's , but had no definite arrangements to turn horses out in his fields . The two mares in the field were vicious cart mares and had pre- viously kicked a cob . It was not reasonable to turn a cob like that in with those mares . Wit ness went on to corroborate counsel's statement the 17th and subsequent days that he refused to accept delivery of the cob on Cross - examined : Mr. Blanchard is a reliable man and the railway company were justified in trusting a horse to him . W. D. Blanchard , veterinary surgeon , explained September , 1917 , and since the summer he that he had stabled Mr. Churchill's horse since had turned various horses on to his land . They had come and gone and he had never accepted responsibility for them . He booked 5s . i week for each horse , but Churchill had never paid him . He did not know the horse was in dispute until after it was dead . any In reply to the Judge the witness said he would have done the same with the cob had he been Gs . 56 50 H.

Mr. Bartley said that when the horse arrived I , cominster having been sent for Churchill 39 there was no one to meet it and therefore the duty of the rai way company to put it in safe keeping . ..... Ido It had been held that they ful- filled their duty by sending a horse to a livery 48 stable keeper and the company would not be liable for any negligence on the part of the livery 40 stable keeper . From the mouths of the plaintiff's witnesses it was proyed that Mr. Blanchard was a man of reputę and Mr. Blanchard had told them . that the horse was treafed as it should have been treated . Mr. Bartley proceeded to cite legal deci- 15 sions in support , of his argument . WEOBLEY POLICE COURT . Monday ; Before Col.
