Warrantees. 107 



call a fool of a horse. If you want one that will never 

 give out, never try a large, overgrown horse. 



A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a white one cold. 

 White about the head — the more the better — indicates 

 docility. Some suppose the parti-colored horses belong- 

 ing to circuses, shows, &c, were selected for their oddi- 

 ty, but the selection is made on account of their great 

 docility and gentleness. 



WARRANTEES. 



A few remarks on this subject may be serviceable often 

 to the farmers, and we cannot do the subject better jus- 

 tice than to insert the following, taken from the Modern 

 Horse-Doctor, by Dr. Dadd : 



" Warrantees, by which is meant an idemnity against 

 any unsoundness, or a pledge given — commonly hi wrt- 

 ' ti n g — by the vender to the purchaser, that the horse is 

 sound and quiet, and possesses such and such qualifica- 

 tions. Without such idemnification or pledge, the law 

 says, Caveat emptor — let the purchaser take the conse- 

 quences ; the rule at law being, that every body who 

 purchases a horse takes him at his own judgment, and has 

 no remedy against the seller, supposing the horse to turn 

 out, upon a future trial, or a more considerate inspection 

 after the purchase, to be worth less than the sum given ; 

 unless he (the purchaser,) can prove he was induced to 

 purchase by representations false within the knowledge 

 of the seller ; to fasten a fraud of which nature upon an 

 experienced dealer in horses is, however, a difficult mat- 

 ter. Warrantees are of different kinds — expressed or im- 

 plied, general or special. An express warranty speaks for 

 itself. Ajid as for an implied warranty, such a thing is 

 hardly known, or at least, rarely taken advantage of in 

 horse dealing, the price paid, however high, not being 

 legally held to be any guaranty of the soundness of the 

 animal ; and any thing that might transpire between sel- 

 ler and buyer, implying warranty, being worth nothing
