SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DA
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)

JOSEPH V. WATSON.
This was an action to recover damages for a false
warranty on goods sold.
Mr. Ryland appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. 1-01‘e
for the dßefendant.
Mr. YLAND stated the case. The plaintiff is a web!!
dealer in Aldgate, and the defendant, who is in the 501)3"t
trade, resides at Stepney. In June last the defendant,
offered for sale a quantity of pewter, which defendant,
warranted, saying that he had run n,rlh,
moulded it himself. The plaintiff bought
metal for 28/.. and afterwards offered to SI,
it, but on its being tested by the person who lc;
about to buy it it was found to be, instead of pewter,
mixture of zinc, lead, and other metal; in fact, tbtolf
there was not one-twelfth or one-thirteenth Pail to
pewter. And, in consequence, instead of being ah' „f
sell it at a profit, he was compelled to sell it at a loss tp
three-halfpence per pound. He therefore now sought
recover damages. • hole
Evidence was then adduced to show that the w—,(l
metal when melted was as stated by the counsel, 730
that it was impossible to discover the deception 1/ to
eye, as the counterfeit was cased in good pewter. id
only fetched 3d. per lb.; but if it had been good it ricuur..
have fetched 54d. per lb. at least. The defendant al°
wards offered to " split" the loss between them.
Mr. LOCKE elicited that the plaintiff had had a sa—,ot
of the metal, and therefore contended that there had 0.
been any warrantry. And a man in the defendant'sro,
ploy, and a brother of defendant was ca wn,
and swore that they melted the metal u° it
and that it was impossible but that, one
must be the same all the way through, and ant was
might have distinguished it at sight. The Ibeta" ,ing
called "good black metal." They never heard of
or washing by electrotyping or otherwise. It was worth
.5,12-d. a pound.
Mr. RYLAND replied, and denied there had been
nave°
sale by sample, for if there had, and plaintiff couldioot
sold it at a fair price, he would have kept it, "" the
sold it at about half price, and run the risk of
costs of this action.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.
