Why the powers that were wanted the horse at court is far from clear - did they imagine that it was going to give evidence? Whatever, it took three days for the constable to deliver it: riding it occasionally, walking it mostly, and camping beside it each night.

    When years later he would tell this story he would say that the part he never could understand about this case was just what the man saw in the horse - according to the GG it was a rather miserable splay-backed and altogether unattractive creature, as horses go ...
