SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



Delivery and payment are the reciprocal 

 obligations of the vendor and vendee 

 under a completed contract of sale, and 

 failure to deliver on the one hand, or to 

 make payment on the other, renders the 

 vendor or vendee liable in action at law. 

 The Sale of Goods Act, 1893, save 

 in some minor details, assimilates the 

 laws of England and Scotland with 

 regard to the sale of goods, which in- 

 cludes horses. By the provisions of 

 that Act the property or ownership in 

 the subject of sale is transferred at such 

 time as the vendor and vendee intend 

 it to be transferred, and such intention 

 must be gathered in the absence of 

 express stipulation from the terms of the 

 contract, the conduct of the parties, and 

 the circumstances of the case ; but, 

 unless it is otherwise apparent, in an 

 unconditional contract of sale, the 

 property passes at the time of the sale.
