Any of these constitutes a horse unsound ; conse- 

 quently it has been deemed necessary that the buyer 

 and seller should enter into a specified warrantry — 

 which is generally thus expressed : — 



Received of A. B. forty pounds for a grey mare, 

 warranted only live years old, sound, free from vice, 

 and quiet to ride and drive. 



£40. 0. 0. (Signed,) C, D. 



When the receipt contains merely the word " war- 

 ranted," it extends only to unsoundness : " warranted 

 sound," has only the same meaning. The age, free- 

 dom from vice, quietness to ride or drive, and other 

 requisites, should be particularly specified. 



This warrantry extends to every cause of unsound- 

 ness that can be detected, or that lurks in the consti- 

 tution at the time of sale, and to every vicious habit 

 which the animal has hitherto shown. 



To establish a breach of warrantry, and to be 

 enabled to return the horse or recover the price, the 

 purchaser must prove that it was unsound, or viciously 

 disposed at the time of sale. In case of cough, the 

 horse must have been heard to cough previous to the 

 purchase, or as he was led home, or as soon as he had 

 entered the stables of the purchaser. Coughing even 

 on the following morning will not be safficient.
