Sheep. 



In this work the author has chiefly sought to investigate the 

 principles which constitute the Law of Warranty in the sale of 

 horses, and to present them in a clear and concise form. 



Contracts, Frauds, Carriers, Negligences, and other branches 

 of the law have also been treated of, so far as they relate to horses 

 and other live stock. The rule as to unsoundness and vice in 

 horses, and the responsibility of innkeepers, livery-stable keepers, 

 and others having the care of horses, have been carefully presented. 



The aim of the author has been to afford assistance to the law- 

 yer, and at the same time to enable the unprofessional reader to 

 gain a general acquaintance with the law on the subject. He has 

 also given full notes of the decisions of the American and En- 

 glish courts. 



" This is a little book that will prove useful to that large class of persons, 

 lawyers and others, interested in horses. The arrangement is good, and 

 the law well and clearly stated." Albany Law Journal. 



" It is invaluable to those interested in the subject of which it treats. It 

 should take its place as an authority in every law library." Legal Gazette. 



" Such a work as this, in which the law relating to live stock is carefully 

 collated and arranged, and presented in a popular form which non-profes- 

 sional readers could understand, has long been needed, and we believe this 

 work will be generally sought after by all who deal in this description of 

 property." National Live Stock Journal. 



"Very many of the little lawsuits in county courts arise from fraud or 

 imposition in selling or swapping horses. In this book we have a perfect 

 encyclopedia of the law and custom on these questions." Rural New 

 Yorker.
