in the shape of a Holmes note given
him by NiOlette when he purchased
this and other horses. Plaintiff paid
defendant enough to satisfy the
claim alleged, and kept the horse.
He now claims the horse had been

against this particular horse had

a verdict for plaintiff for $167.5O

| turned a verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum of $462.50 O.
