dants promised to sell and deliver to them
Bengal indigo of the FIRST quality and e
quail 4 q sample shown by the defendants;
but thaton the contrary, the defendants
delivered to them indigo of different
kind aud inferior quality, by reason oil
WHICH they sustained loss.
The plaintiffs produced i'll evidence the
bill OF parcels, which described the lndI-
go as Bengal. They also produced the
newspapers, in which it was advertised
as Uery superior Bengal Indigo. Ii was
contended that this expression " as equiv
alsnt to saying the indigo was of the hrsI
quality, and that the advertisement a
mounted to a warrant that the article
sold was Bengal indigo OF he first quality
The price also was relied on asindicating
sale OF the .6Islquaiiiy OF indigo.
