Armagh Summer Assizes ( Record Court) Before Chief Justice 
Pigott. 
[From “The Ulster Gazette.”] 
' M’SHANE V. CORRIGAN. 
This was an appeal from the Quarter Sessions of Newtawn- 
hamilton. The action was brought to recover the price of a 
horse that died, from glanders, four weeks after the sale, by 
defendant, in the horse fair of Keady. 
Mr. R. Moore opened the case, and the following witnesses 
were examined. 
Patrick Leggan, examined by Mr. Ross Moore. — Lives in 
Newry; is manager for Mr. Dargan, railway contractor; was at 
Keady fair on 12th March last ; knows defendant ; travelled with 
him, on a car, from his house at Camlough to the fair, a distance 
of seven miles. Corrigan told witness that he had a chestnut horse 
for sale in the fair; bought a chestnut horse, in the evening, from 
plaintiff, at Newtownhamilton, on his way home ; Corrigan was 
present in the room when he bought and paid for the horse, and 
helped to make the bargain ; Corrigan did not say at that time 
that the horse was his own, or that he had any thing to do with 
him : plaintiff engaged the horse quite sound ; it was the same 
horse he saw in the fair: kept him till Monday morning, when he 
took him to Mr. Small, veterinary surgeon, for examination. 
Cross-examined by Mr. Thomas O' Hagan. — Took back the 
horse on Friday ; got £10 of his money back, and a promissory 
note for the balance. 
John M' Shane, jun., examined by Mr. R. Moore. — Was in 
Keady fair, and bought a chestnut horse, for his father, from a man 
called M’Gilly. Corrigan (the defendant) recommended him to buy 
the horse, and helped to make the bargain; his father sold the 
same horse to Leggan, who returned him after a few days : the 
horse was treated well while in his father’s keeping : he had a 
running at the nose. 
Cross-examined by Mr. T. O' Hagan. — There was no person 
employed to make an examination of the horse; Smith, a farrier, 
looked at him as a friend merely ; the bargain was made before 
Smith examined him; no money was paid before the examination. 
The horse was sold, on that same evening, to Leggan, for £4 more 
than he cost ; he was engaged sound : on Monday the horse was 
returned; had not the horse over a fortnight, after he was returned
