COONTT COORT, Wodoesday.—Before E. Everett,
Esq., Judge.—Georg. Read, junr.. v. Henry Elliott.—
This was an action to recover the sum of £l4 4a,
balance deur on the asle ofamare. Mr. C. 11. C.
Whattran appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. E. P.
Kelsey reprewnted the defoodant. The plaintiff is •
coal merchant, carrying on business in Fisheries. The
defendant is a coal haulier living in the muse pleas.
The plaintiff deposed that he met the defendant on the
evening of the 20th of January, and had a conversation
with him about armpits( mares. Defeodant had • mare,
for which he agreed to give him £l2, three tons of
coal, aed his mare called "Polly." Wittman
valued his mare at £l5, and defendant bis
at £2O. The deal took place close to
witness'a °Moe door, in Fisherton. Defendant
warranted his mare "sound, and everything right." He
did so several time.. Wrens took defeedant's mare
aed eet it to work. A few days afterwards be foend
that it was unsound. He had bee examined by Mr.
Truckle, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Barfoot, all of whom
pronounced her unsound. He ake to the defeadant
about it, and he wid he bought to. mare of Mr. Atkins
as mound, and had sold it for the same. Defendant
added, "I can't expect you to lose nay thing. Jack
(meaning Mr. Atkins), 'law& low a little, and I mart
low • little." He amordingly sent bask the mare, but
defendant refused to receive it. He saw the defendant
again on the Friday week following, and sated him
Why he did net take the mare beak, and he said be
didn't know what to do with it. The mare was sub-
sequently mold by suction by Mr. Ewer, and
radioed £l4 14s. Dedueting RI for expenses, •
balance remained of £l3 14e., to which be had added
for the keep of the mare from the time he returned her
up to the sale.—Crom-exandoed : Re maw defendant's
mare lots of times previous to the deal. H. did not
recommeed the defeedasst to bey her. He might bars
seen her in defendant's company. Some time before the
deal be offered defendant £lO and the mare in exchange,
bat he refused the offer. Witness was certain that be
made soundless a condition of the deal. He should not
have given such a price without • warranty.' Mr. J.
C. Truckle stated that he was in Mr. Read's otßce
whilst the deal was going on °arida The door being
ajar he overheard the conversation that passed. Hs
heard defendant my, "11l warrant my mare sound and
all right." He examined the mare on the following
Monday, and found her to be unsound from thickness
of the wind. She ••• consequently unlit for heavy
draught work —Cross-examined He was in the oMee
by mere accident. After examining the mare, hewer
the defendant respecting her, and advised him to take
her back and get her a little "fresh"
, and sell her as
beet he could. 'Adolphus Kliewl, • lad in Mr. Bead's
employ, add he was present with Mr. Trickle in his
master's office, and distinctly heard defendant say,
" warrant my mare sound. and all right.* This
was the plaintiff's Ur. Kelsey, for the defence,
said it was • somewhat painful ewe, as much as some
one must have been greviously mistaken. The defen-
dant had 'Jeered him that not • word was said about •
warrant, and he felt bound to put him into the box to
give his version of the transaction, and to untidy his
own conscience on the matter. He should be ashamed
to impute purjury either to Mr. Read or Mr.
Truckle, and he was sure that Mr. Whataxen
would not support aease by such beats.; but he thought
Lb. explanation of the matter was that Mr. Read knew I
the mare so sell, and was so anxious to purees her, !
that he naturally felt that there was no wowinn for I
demanding • warranty.—Henry Elliott, the defendant, '
was then sworn. He said he bought the mare of Mr.
Atkins, who had got it sent up from Shaftesbury. He
and Mr. Read went to see the mare at the Wilton
Arm., and Mr. Read advised him to buy her. He
bought her siecordinely. He worked her daily In
hauling coal from Mr. Read's pew. Mr. Read
repeatedly asked him to chop the mere for hi. "Polly."
Witness had taken &owe pantries at the Greet Western
Station, and Mr. Read said his "Poll," would be ex-
actly suited for the work. He asked M. Read what be
would give him to boot, and he replied £lO. Witness
replied, "That's no use," and they separated. Nothing
whatever was raid about a warranty. On the
evening of the 20th of January, he saw Mr. Reed near
his caw. He came out of the office and abut the door.
He said "Hallo. I Harry, when do you take on this
water pumping r He replied, "On Saturday." Mr.
Reed said, "Then you had better change your mare for
my Polly." He said, "My mare met me £27, and you
only offer me £lo—l shell do nothing of the sort." Mr.
Read said, "I'll spring another 12." He replied, "If
you'll give me £l2 and three tons of coal I'll do it."
Ultimately Mr. Road agreed to the terms. Nothing
was said about • warranty, but if Mr. Reed had asked
him for on. he would have given it. He never knew
but that the mare was sound. He had her • fortnight
on trial, but did not haw a warranty with her. He told
Mr. Read that he could not take back the mare, as he
had paid away the money which be received in exchange.
—Mr. Read said, "you know you warranted the hone,"
and he replied, "I don't know that I did. You didn't
warrant yours, did your Kr. Bead's tether said if he
would take the mare back his son should trust him the
£l2. He replied, "I won't get farther into debt, for I
shall never get out."—Crowexamined : The mare was
sent up by Mr. Burr, of Shaftesbury. She was sent to
Mr. Atkins to be soli. He borrowed the mosey of Mr.
Atkins to make the purchase, and was to pay El for the
loan. He had paid Mr. Atkins 110 in pert. Heus.vev
saw any signs of uusounduees in the mare. Had told
Mr. Button, of Leverstock, that be would give the same
warranty that be received. By that he meant that he
had had the mere on triaL —The Judge t You know
that that is not a warranty. Don't talk such noossase
here,—Crose examination continued: He knew Mr.
Coleman and Mr. Aubrey, veterinary surgeons, both of
whom examined the mare, and pronounced her
sound. Mr. Atkins pre him the money to pay
them. If. didn't know that one of those
gentlemen had sines examined the mere, and
pronounced her unsound. Mr. Kelsey might have told
him that one of them had done so. Did'ut recoiled
what Mr. Kelsey had said to him. Mr. Kelsey certainly
told hirn that be bad better throw up the warranty
altogether, as he bed seen Mr. Aubrey. Mr. Atkins
had not promised to "stand" anything towards the
expenees of this trial. Mr. Atkins merely told him that
he had better fight out themes as well ash, could. He ,
lately made over his goods to Mr. Atkins, before this
action was commenced, when Mr. Read said he would I
see him. The Yalta of the goods made over was £l7.
This was his own valuation. The mare "Polly" was
not included. That he had sold to his brother for £B.
He took £4 of his brother' the balance he previously
owed for corn and other things. He still had • pony
pumping water at the Great Western Station. He
sold "Polly" to his brother before he rewired the
county wart summons. Did'ut ask anybody else to
buy her but his brother. He sometimes borrowed
the more of his brother.. His was now in his brother's
employ—This was the defendant'seses.—Mr. Whatman
row to reply, but hi. Honor said it was unnecessary.
It was impossible for him to receive the defendant's
evidence, and throw over that of the three witnesses
against him. He could not believe the defendant on
Ins oath, and the verdict must therefore be for the
plaintiff. The defendant would probably be brought
there on a judgment summons, ant then he must
recollect what he had told them to-day, as to having I
made over his good. to Mr. Atkins. Mr. Atkins did
not appear to deny it,—Mr. Read: He is in Court I
your Hooor.—Hie Honor: Well, I am glad that he !
has beard the evidence, because be will most likely
be • witness hereafts-e—Judgment fen the plaintiff
fortlrrith.—Aday v. Oottel. This wee an action to
meows £ll5 17s. 10d. balance of an account for
work and labour dOne. —Defendant disputed an
item of Vie which plaintiff agreed to allow. He
likewise pleaded a setoff of nil 10s., which had not,
however, hese sent in in time, and plaintiff asserted
moreover that the sharese were exemeive. He called
Mr. Penision to dopers to this feet, and offered to allow
ES Ifs. To this Mr. Cottol refused to agree, and
ultimately the on.. was adjourned to enable the defen-
dant to prove that the work charged for was actually
dome.— Mr. E. E. P. Kelsey appeared for the plaintiff.
