GALLOWAY V. SIR JOHN HON SYWOOD, MT;
_ . . .

This was an scion for the value of a horfe.
Mr. ERSIUNI Rated, that the Defendant. was a
Gentleman who was formerly very much upon the
tul; and had •bought at various times run aing horfes
and colts from the Plaintiff. The purchafe of a colt
of the race breed was a mere fpeculation : if they
turned out equal in (peed to their lire and dam, they
were of great value, and pointy Worth much afore
than the price paid for them. If their fpirit
however, he not equal to their genealogy, their value
when horfes would be much inferior•to the price paid
for them when colts. This was the cafe in the pre-
fent inilance—where a colt by a horfe called Baikal,
out of a mare whole fire was javesn, was fold to the
Defendant for 2621. . •••••

The Defendant firft pleaded the flatnte of limits
tions, and afterwards that he had not received .he faid
colt.

Mr. G ARROW Laid, that his Client, Sir John Honey-
wood, was a very honourable man, although fome
times not overburdened with calh. He was ready to
fubmit this horfe account to the arbitration of any
Gentleman.—Referred to Mt. Lowten.
