pSNERcHANr.BlE WmsKy.-The Cincinnati Gazette, Of
| late date, says:
few weeks since had occasion notice the fact
that whisky had been sold in the market which proved
be musy, or damaged Since that time heard OF
two similar cases, and of these submitted the
Chamber OF Commerce for adjustment. The case was
submitted to arbitration not merely
amount involved which is unmportant but for the pur
pose OF testing the matter and establishing precedent
The decision is one of great Importance both the dealers
In and manufacturers of the article The committee lit
that sellers are responsible when they sell whisky without
having an understanding relative to its quality which
may prove understandable. The question was also de-
cided that inspectors under the generanspecon
the state are required merely TO ascertain the proof
the whisky and the capacity of the barrel The
this decision will be, suppose that hereafter whisky
will be sold for what it may be- whether rotten or
sound with the understanding that the purchaser shall
have recourse upon the seller except when the seller
may know the article to be prime and be willing to
guarantee and the latter will of course command the
highest price,
