HASTINGS V. CROSBY.

. The PlAintiff, an eminent artisr,, brought this
aEtion to ,recover (he sum of eighteen guineas, for
designs for engravings. to a periodical work, called
Literary -Recreations, published by the Defend-
ant. On the part of the-,PlaintirE it was proved,
that he had entered into an agreement to furnish
the 'designs in question at two guineas each ; he
had been paid six guineas for the first three, but
when he demanded payment foi nine subsequent
ones, it was refused by 'the Gentleman who atspre-
sent superintends Mr: Crosby's affairs; who al-
leged, that although Mr. Crosby published the Li-
terary Recteatioria, he did it on. account of the-
Editors, and was not himself responsible. • .The re-
ceipt for the money paid by Mr-Crosby being pro-
duced, it ,verified this assertion, as it.expressly stated
the 'Money to have been received on account atilt;
proprietors.—The Plaintiff was, in consequence,
nonsuited.

WARRANTY OF A HWtSE.

WATERS V. FULLER.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in stating this case,
said, the Plaintiff, a Gentleman of .fortune,
lsrtr-
chased a horse from the Defendant, for which he
agreed to give him another horse, worth sul. and a
check for 251. the Defendant warrantih,,° the hprse
sound. Alter two short jaurneys, the horse was
discovered to be lame in both feet, hating bad
bloody corns, and Mr. Wateis requested to have
his bay horse and money returned, desiring Mr.
Fuller-10 take back his Chesnut gelding, which he
refused, unless the Plaintiff would lose r5l. by his
contract.

A number of witnesses were then-called, who
swore that the horse had a running thrush, •-a con-
traction'in his fore-feet; and that he wascompleteiy.
lame. A latter -was also put in, which indirectly
admitted-the warranty.
Mr.. GARROW) for the Defendant, said that he.
should content himself with 'proving that the horse
was perfectly sound, and that he should then be en-
titled to the-verdict of the. Jury.
Five witnesses were then .ealled, who swore pOsi-
tively that the horse had no defectl—that it was well
proportioned,—and, fact, quite the • reverse. of
what had. been represented -by the witnesses for
the Plaintiff, ; •

The horse being• in the neighbourhood, some of
the parties-were dispatched to examine him ; they
soon returned, and brought with them a piece of a
.corn cut from-the horse's toot, and he- was also ad-
mittecL on this examination, to have gonefailuig.
11 verdict was in' consequence given for the Plain-
tiffi—Darnages 751.

all t he former representations of our Planters respecting
the necessity Of an intercourse in AmeriCan vessels,
