AGISTER. One who takes horses or other animals to agist.
2. The agister is not, like an innkeeper, bound to take all horses
offered to him, nor is he liable for any injury done to such animals in his
care, unless he has been guilty of negligence, or from his ignorance,
negligence may be inferred. Holt's R. 457.
