I must dissent upon the authority of the following cases: Woolworth v. Wilson, 74 F.2d 439; Travis v. L.  N. R. Co., 183 Ala. 415, 62 So. 851, 854; Linker v. Quaker Oats Co.,11 F. Supp. 794; Kirkland v. Great Atlantic  Pacific Tea Co. (Ala.), 171 So. 735; Dothan v. Chero-Cola Bottling Co., 16 Ala. App. 639,  80 So. 734; Howard v. Jacob's Pharmacy (Ga.),189 S.E. 373; Scruggins v. Jones (Ky.), 269 S.W. 743; Kroger Grocery Co. v. Lewelling (Miss.) 145 So. 726; Lipari v. National Grocery Co., 198 A. 393; Aronovitz v. Woolworth Co.,236 N.Y. Supp. 133; West v. Emanuel (Pa.), 47 A. 965; Ellis v. Montgomery  Crawford (S.C.), 200 S.E. 82; Pennington v. Cranberry Fuel Co., 186 S.E. 610. There is a later New York case, Foley v. Liggett  Myers, 241 N.Y. Supp., which is at variance with the above cited Aronovitz case, but this departure appears front the opinion to he due to a statute, Section 96 of the New York Personal Property Law. It seems front the above cases that negligence and not warranty is the true ground of liability in a case such as this. *Page 517
