V eterinary J urisprudence. 
BARNSLEY COUNTY COURT. 
Before W. Walker, Esq., Judge. 
Chappell v. Haigh. — Mr. Micklethwaite (barrister), of 
Wakefield, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Westmore- 
land of Wakefield, for the defendant. — Plaintiff is a rag- 
merchant, at Osset, near Wakefield; defendant is a farmer, 
at Denby-Dale. The action was brought to recover 201., as 
damages for breach of a warranty of a horse sold by defendant 
to plaintiff at Barnsley fair, on the 11th of October last, for 
321., which horse was then warranted sound and a good 
worker by a memorandum in writing. It appeared that 
about a month after the sale of the animal, symptoms of 
lameness began to manifest themselves, and on being ex- 
amined by a professional man the horse was pronounced to be 
unsound from ossification of the cartilages of the foot ; upon 
which notice was given to the defendant, and the animal was 
sold in Wakefield market for 16/., whereby plaintiff lost 1 61., 
to which he added 41. for expenses incurred, making 20 1., 
the amount claimed. Veterinary surgeons were called on 
both sides: Mr. Charles Naylor and Mr. Cuthbert (Leeds) 
gave their opinion as to the unsoundness of the horse ; and 
Mr. Morville (Wakefield) and Mr. Cawthron (Barnsley), for 
defendant as to its soundness. Anatomical specimens of a 
horse’s foot were produced by Mr. Cuthbert, showing the 
difference between a diseased foot and one quite sound. His 
Honour, after patiently hearing all the witnesses, and a some- 
what lengthy address by Mr. Micklethwaite in reply, gave 
judgment for th z Defendant, chiefly on the ground of plaintiff 
keeping the horse a month before complaining of its un- 
soundness. — Allowed for defendant’s advocate, 15s. ; wit- 
nesses, 41. 
Mr. Micklethwaite intimated his intention to apply for a 
new trial.
