VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
dwelt upon by Mr. Norris, said the principal question the Jury 
had to determine was, whether a warranty was given, and to that 
two witnesses had distinctly sworn; then, whether roaring was 
unsoundness ; and that it was so, had been long since held. With 
regard to the identity of the horse, although stronger evidence 
might have been given, there could be very little question. Then, 
if they were satisfied as to the warranty and the unsoundness, the 
plaintiff had disposed of the horse (the defendant having refused 
to refund the money originally paid) in the only legitimate way, 
and was undoubtedly entitled to recover. 
The Jury, however, after a few minutes’ deliberation, returned 
a verdict for the defendant.

The evidence is so replete with veterinary matters, that we have

Mr. Joseph Dawson called. — I know plaintiff and defendant ; 
on the 3d of October I was at Chester races ; I saw the horse 
Paragon at the Albion stables; he was shewn to the plaintiff; the 
defendant said he was bid two years before, from three persons, 
Anderson, Quartermaine, and somebody else, 160 guineas ; he 
then declined shewing the horses out of the stable, as they had 
just come a long journey; the defendant said he would warrant the 
horse sound, and a perfect hunter, in fact quite a paragon ; I saw 
plaintiff and defendant next day on the course ; the plaintiff said 
that he had bought the two horses for £210, and he, defendant, 
wished to take immediate delivery of them, which he thought un- 
reasonable ; he wished defendant’s servant to take charge of them; 
the price of the second horse was to be £60; Paragon was 
warranted.

nothing was arranged ; don’t know that the name of the second
