Mr. Justice Fraser:
I dissent. While the exceptions might have been clearer, yet it seems to me that it is clear enough for consideration that fjhe appellant intends to complain that his Honor charged the jury the law of implied warranty when the plaintiff had alleged an express warranty. The point is not that his Honor, the trial Judge, misstated the law as to implied warranty, but that his error was in charging the law of implied warranty in a case in which the plaintiff relied upon an express warranty. The respondent had not been misled and the question should be decided.
It, seems to me that his Honor did charge the jury that, if the plaintiff failed to establish his express warranty upon which he relied, then the jury might still find for the plaintiff under the implied warranty, if he had not bougnt a sound article for a sound price. I do not so understand the recent cases.
For this reason I dissent.
