nothing was said about lameness or a warranty, and one of 
his witnesses said distinctly that the word warranty was used, 
for that Saxelby declined to warrant the pony. It was for

gave the credit as to whether there was or was not a war- 
ranty. 
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff — damages, 
£9. 7s. 6d.

OBITUARY. 
Again we have to add to the list of those who have gone 
before us ; their journey and their labour o’er. The poet 
has said : 
“ There is no death ! What seems so is transition. 
This life of mortal breath 
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian ; 
Whose portal we call Death.” 
“ The grave itself is but a covered bridge, 
Leading from light to light, through a brief darkness.” 
Died, on the 14th July, aged 35, Mr. C. E. Ashworth, of 
Holywell. He graduated in 1843. 
On the 26th July, aged 35, Mr. W. Phillips, of Monk’s 
Eleigh. He graduated in 1846. 
Also, Mr. J. Stoddart, of Whitehaven, who graduated in 
1839.
