EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
WEALS V. KING.

This was an action tried before Mr. Baron Parke,
at Hertford, in which the plaintiff sought to recover
damages on the ground that the defendant had sold
to him 500 store sheep which turned out to be un-
sound. Upon the trial of the cause the jury returned
a ♦erdict for the plaintiff, on the ground that they
were of opinion that there was an implied warranty
of their soundness.

A rule was obtained a short time since by Mr.
Chambers on the ground of the verdict being a per-
verse one and against evidence.
Mr. Sergeant SHER now showed cause against the
rule, on the ground that it was the custom to sell
store sheep with an implied warranty of their sound-
ness. The defendant had also been written to by the
solicitor of the plaintiff, charging him with a breach
of the warranty, and the defendant had not denied
that there was a warranty of soundness in the sale of
the sheep.
Mr. Baron PARKE said, that he certainly did not
think the jury ought to have found any such verdict
as they had stone. They acted, no doubt, under the
belief that it was a fair and proper thing for the
plaintiff to obtain the verdict. He was of opinion
that the rule ought to be made absolute, with costs to
abide the event.
Rule absolute.

This was an information against the defendant, a
soap manufacturer, at Whltechapel, to recover penal-
ties for cutting and removing soap within the time
specified by Act of Parliament.
The case was in Fart heard on Saturday.
Mr. MAUTIN, on the part of the defendants, now
contended that it was absolutely impossible for the
defendant to have removed the soap without the
knowledge of the Excise officers who had charge of
the premises, and called several witnesses to prove the
course of proceedings in the manufacture of soap,
from which it appeared to be the duty of the Excise
officers to examine the state of all the soap on
the premises every four hours, and enter the
result of their examinations in books kept
for the purpose. Upon the officer leaving
the premises at night, it was usual for him to place a
lock upon the coppers in which the material of the
soap was boiled, which it would be impossible for any
person to open without the knowledge of the officer.
Several of the Excise officers who were present when
the soap was cut down gtve it as their opinion that
the soap was as solid as that article usually was at the
expiration of the period allowed by law, but they
th:Jught that it was some degrees warmer.
