SALE BY SAMPLE.
Another Case Under the recent Rnl-
ing That II Does Not War
rant Quality

Tho rule laid dowa by the Supreme
Court recently in the canned corn case,
that sale BY sample does not include
warranty Of the quality Of tho goods,
which caused much discussion at tho
time it was made. was again called iuto
service yesterday, in the case of
Samuel Stern vs. August Bicklcr, q
suit on a uoic given for shcepskius,
in which the plaintiff obtained
verdict Of S2,462 10. Judge Pcircc
before whom tho suit was tried, in
charging the jury said:
When man is shown goods and
buys them, he does so on bis own ro-
sponsibility. II he buys by sample it
is tho equivalent of an affirmative on
tho part of tho seller that the goods arc
Of tho samo kind as tho sample, aud it
is not guaranty of tho quality, but
simply that they are the same kind Of
goods. It appears that The defendant
here examined as mauy Of the skins Us
he thought proper and then asked if
il they were all like those he saw Us
sample. and the reply was that they
were al like that. II tho sale was by
sample il comes within that principle
that saie by sample is not warranty
Of the quality Of the goods, but merely
an allegation that the goods are Of the
same kind Of the sample. If tho de-
fendant wanted to bc secured, there
was very simple way Of guaranteeing
the sale. The purchasing party had
simply said to tho seller. "Do you guar
antec those goods to bo Of tho quality
you arc selling =" II the seller says II
do, " that is guaranty. It is 40 cx-
press guaranty of the quality, bat wheu
q sale is made without such express
understanding the parties arc not tliablc
for tho quality of tho goods if they
prove difercls from what it is suppos-
ed they were. Another way in which
the seller may become responsible fer
the quality of the goods is where ho
afirms them to be Of certain quality.
even if he does not guarantee them
and knows at the time that he is max
ing a false representation concerning
them.
