208 THE LAWS RELATING TO WARRANTY, &c. 
examination shall take place. If the veterinary surgeons cannot 
then give a decisive opinion, the purchaser must keep the animal. 
During this process the buyer ought to have the care of the animal, 
unless the seller should demand that it should be committed to his 
custody. In neither case must the animal be placed in the stables 
or yard of a public inn. The cost of the keep of the animal during 
this period must be defrayed by the loser. Complaint of deteriora- 
tion of half of the value of the horse, in consequence of some pro- 
hibited disease, may be made.

Unsoundness in the horse, in the Duchy of Brunswick, is confined 
to RESTIVENESS, AMAUROSIS, GLANDERS, and AFFECTIONS OF THE 
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. 
In the portion of Brunswick Lunenbourg which is annexed to 
Hanover, and also in Calmberg, AMAUROSIS, GLANDERS, and DIS- 
EASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, are the redhibitory diseases. 
At Zell, and at Hildesheim, RESTIVENESS, GLANDERS, amau- 
rosis, DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, and SPECIFIC

ledges, and with a warranty of three months.

are liable to be attacked with HYDROPHOBIA, a delay of three days 
is accorded. In unfattened animals the warranty is extended to 
four weeks and a day.
