bate. I think I once said to Harry Cockayne: "The turf seems a good deal cut up here; how is it?' Serjeant shee. What did you see on the turf that induced you to make that observation ? bate. I saw it cut up, which I supposed to be the horses' feet, for they couldn't cut it up without they galloped. Serjeant shee. Did you attribute that to anything ? bate. Why, yes, I attributed it to the mares' galloping about. [Laughter.] Serjeant shee. Had you any reason to think they had been run by dogs? bate. I never saw any dog run them. This was no answer to the question, but it much amused the Lord Chief Justice. The exchange continued: Serjeant shee. Did Harry Cockayne keep a gun in the stable? bate. I have seen one there. Serjeant shee. Did he keep a gun, which belonged to his master, for any purpose? bate. I have seen a gun at the paddock. Serjeant shee. Did it belong to the master? bate. I cannot say. Serjeant shee. Did you ever see it used? bate. No. Serjeant shee. Was it in a condition to be used?
