that he was not capable of doing the work fairly expected from 
such an animal without producing those consequences which, as I 
have before said, Mr. Brown endeavoured to guard against by 
taking a warranty of soundness. 
A warranty of this kind can be of no value whatever, except to 
guard a person from the consequences which may result from a 
cause which must have had a pre-existence. 
I have written thus far boldly and fearlessly, because it is a 
subject on which I feel myself at liberty, from education and 
practice, to speak, and because I am writing for those who can 
appreciate both the motive and design ; and further, because 
I have often lamented the vague way in which the expression 
unsoundness is made use of in a court of law — the distinction 
between unsoundness and lameness not being sufficiently insisted 
upon. What I have further to urge is written with due defer- 
ence to the opinions of those who may be expected to know much 
better than myself. It was stated in the report, that Mr. Brown 
ought to have taken a different warranty. It appears to me 
(from the evidence) that, in conjunction with the general warranty, 
the hocks were especially mentioned as suspicious. I should 
have thought this quite tantamount to a special warranty of them.
