SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



incurs an universal resjjonsibility. 



A carrier's liability as such ceases if 

 the consignee cannot be found, refuses 

 or delays to take delivery, though of 

 course he is still obliged to take proper 

 care of the animal, until an arrangement 

 has been made. 



Horse stolen from carriers render the 

 carriers liable ; but any kind of stock 

 put into a farmer's hands for grazing 

 purposes, should such be stolen, unless 

 clearly the outcome of neglect, e.g., 

 broken down fencing, hedges or gates 

 left unfastened, renders the farmer free 

 from liability.
