The underclays are found beneath every bed of coal. "Warrant," "spavin," and "gannister" are local names which are sometimes applied to it, the last being a term used when the clay contains such a large proportion of silicious matter as to become almost like a hard flinty rock.
This term is applied to an affection of the tarsus which is usually characterized by the existence of an exostosis on the mesial and inferior portion of the hock. There is also included under this name, articular inflammation wherein no external evidence is shown. Spavin lameness has long been recognized and much has been written upon this subject.
"What can you know about his church," inquired Spavin, "who have never been seen in it, except on last Easter Monday, when you were candidate for the church wardenship? M'Clutehy," he added, "we all know you are a Protestant of your father's color; it's the best Protestantism that puts most into your pocket."
The result is then, an unequal division of stride; a nodding of the head with the catching up of weight by the sound leg, in front leg affections and this is termed limping. With continuous exertion as in travel for a considerable distance, in some cases, lameness becomes less evident as in spavin.
Rheumatism? Well, that may be bad; but a spavin is worse. For three weeks Reddy rubbed the lump on the hock with stuff from a brown bottle, and hid it from the inspector. Then, one black morning, the lump was discovered. That day Skipper did not go out on post. Reddy came into the stall, put his arm around his neck and said "Good-by" in a voice that Skipper had never heard him use before.
Spavin the horse-dealer's yard in Oxford Street, when not in the country on similar excursions to the present. And now in the throng on the principal line are two conspicuous horses a piebald and a white carrying Mr. Sponge and Lucy Glitters.
"We shall find the bills for all that," said Spavin, "the interference of such fellows in the execution of the laws must be put a stop to." "You are right, Spavin," said Sir William; "if we can't hang him, let us send him across. He had no business to touch the hair of a blood-hound's head.
To be sure he did gie an awesome glance up at the auld castle and there was some spae-work gaed on I aye heard that; but as for his vanishing, I held the stirrup mysell when he gaed away, and he gied me a round half-crown he was riding on a haick they ca'd Souple Sam it belanged to the George at Dumfries it was a blood-bay beast, very ill o' the spavin I hae seen the beast baith before and since."
I never was so mortified in my life. And then at supper he prayed. Just think of it. I'll bet anything he cheated you." "Wall let us believe not. The next mornin' after standin' all night, the hoss I let him have will show his true worth. He's got a spavin, as you know, an' when he leads him out of the stable a j'int in his right leg'll pop like a pipe stem broke."
But nobody was looking particularly grave, and they laughed as they caught sight of the little red cloak coming under the white sheets and table-cloths. 'Why, here's Poppy! said Mrs. Holliday, as she came up to them. 'Well, Poppy, cried another, 'have you heard the news? 'Your mother's got a present for you, Poppy, said Sarah Anne Spavin; 'you'd better hurry in and have a look at it.
