Hotness of the foot would be the first indication of disease in 
the foot, but, if the horse were gently physicked and taken care 
of, he would soon get over it. 
Mr . Vines , another veterinary surgeon, gave similar tes- 
timony as to the disease not having been in existence at the 
time of the sale. 
Mr. Watson replied. 
Mr. Baron Parke summed up. 
The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then gave a

Times , June 1851. 
County Court, Ashbourne. 
At the County Court held on Tuesday last, the only case that 
excited any interest was one respecting the warranty of some 
cows, which were purchased by Mr. James Brough from Mr. 
Samuel Millward, of Horsley, at the fair at Ashbourne on the 
29th of November last. It appeared, that the plaintiff, purchased 
the cows as barren, but, two of them proving to be in calf, he 
sought to recover damages on that account. His Honour re- 
marked that it was a novel case. After a good deal of con- 
flicting evidence respecting the warranty, his Honour directed 
the plaintiff to be nonsuited. [We regret that, owing to the 
unavoidable absence of our reporter, we cannot furnish a report 
of the case.] — Derbyshire Advertiser , July 1850.
