BEVAN V. ELMORE.

II This was an action to recover the value of a horse,
which the plaintiff had purchased from the defendant.
The questions were, whether the horse had been war-
ranted sound, and whether that warranty had been
complied with. The horse had been sold for 140 guineas.
Several witnesses were examined by Mr. Serjeant
VAUGHAN, who was for the plaintiff.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE, for the defendant, contended
that the evidence did not support a warranty, and that
consequently there must be a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up at length. The first
question was, whether there was a warranty, in which
case the plaintiff must recover? The second question
was, whether, under all the circumstances, a warranty
had not been understood ? Some 20, or SO, or 40 years
ago, a doctrine had been laid down by a very Learned
Judge (Lord Mansfield), that a sound price implied a
sound home. He did not know whether the same sound
doctrine obtained in the present day. The defendant
had said in a letter to the plaintiff, " If the horse is un-
sound, I will take him back with pleasure, as I can re-
turn him to Mr. Sharpe." If the letter had stopped
there the case would have been conclusive. It had been
said, that the plaintiff had bought the horse on the repre-
sentation of a Mr. Lowden, who had seen him at Horn-
castle fair, and thought that it would suit the plaintiff,
and the defendant therefore said that no warranty had
been given. The second question was, whether the
horse was sound. On that point the Jury, under all the
circumstances of the case, would give their verdict.

The Jury consulted for about ten minutes, and returned a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages, £147.
There was but one case mom, which was referred; and the Court
rose till Easter Term.

Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, in Great Britain, delivered,

SPECULATION IN DINNER STOCR•—A speculator at
Edinburgh fore ee;ng thc public anxiety to be present
at the dinner given last week to Mr. BROUGHAM, ob-
