COVPT. --Y I.s.rEILD..IY

This court sat at 10 o'clock on
,yesterday.
AUSTIN V. Camo.---Thia was an action brought by the
)I:iintiff, who is a licensed victualler residing in Brunswick-
road, to receive 4/. from the defendant, a cow-keeper in
Great Homer-street. The plaintiff sought to recover the
amount in consequence of a false representation which he
alleged had been made by the defendant to induce him to
purchase a cow. From the evidence given upon the part of
the plaintiff, it appeared that upon the 3rd of October last,
the defendant was at the cattle-market in Liverpool, and had
with him a cow which he alleged to be a calving cow. The
Plaintiff was also there, and had brought with him a fat
cow, which he valued at 101. He entered into negociation
with the defendant for the exchange of the two animals,
and the defendant valued his cow at 141. Finally, they
agreed to make an exchange, the plaintiff consenting to ,pay
4/. in addition to the defendant as the difference of value
between the cattle. The plaintiff stated that he had made
this bargain upon the distinct representation of the defen-
dant that his cow was a calving cow, and had calved within
a few weeks previously. After the bargain was made, the
plaintiff took the cow home, when it turned out that she
Was not a calving cow, and gave scarcely any milk. He
therefore brought the present action to recover the 4/. which
lie had paid to the defendant as the difference between the
value of the animals, in consequence of the representation
made by the defendant that the cow which he sold was a
Calving cow.

Mr.—HrmE appeared for the defence, and contended that
the plaintiff had sufficient opprtunities of knowing the
finalities of the animal he purchased, and that being a man
who was in the habit of dealing in cattle, he must have
known what kind of a cow she was, and had therefore no
right to complain of the bargain he had made.
His HONOR gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 2/. ; and
in giving the verdict cautioned the defendant against mak-
ing such representations in future as it appeared he had
made in that case. He added that he felt bound to tell the
defendant that a very little more would have rendered him
liable to a criminal prosecution for having obtained money
under false pretences.
