action came on for trial recently in this Court, when the Chief 
Baron being of opinion that there was an implied warranty of 
soundness on the part of Mr. Chew, and that Mr. Jones was justi- 
fied in leaving the mare at Watford under the circumstances, a 
verdict was passed for Mr. Jones, subject to the revision of the 
court above. On the present occasion, the evidence given on the 
former trial was read over to the witnesses, and certain objections 
having been taken to the right of the plaintiff to recover it, the 
Chief Baron directed the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff. 
He thought that, in point of law, the defendant, when he let the 
mare to the plaintiff, impliedly warranted that she was sound, and 
fit to perform the journey to St. Albans. As she had proved 
unsound, the plaintiff was justified in leaving her at Watford, 
where she would be cared for, till the defendant sent for her, which 
he (Sir J. Pollock) thought it was his duty to do. It had been said 
that the plaintiff had selected the mare in question ; but that did 
not diminish the obligation at law cast on the party letting her out 
at hire. If, therefore, the Jury thought that the mare was unsound 
at the hiring, they should find for the plaintiff; and if the law was 
incorrectly laid down to them, the court above would do justice 
between the parties in that respect. — The Jury, without any hesi- 
tation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, with £33..1s. damages.
