Hopkins v. Tanqubiiat.— This wns .on _ action .to reMwr

Justice T.d foil ill, and the jury found a verdict for tho plaintiff; 
but subsequently a rule was obtained to cuter a nonsuit, or for a 
new trial, and to-day, cause was shown against tins rule being 
made absolute. Mr. Sergeant Dvlea and Mr. I'm biisun appeared 
to show cause, ami Mr. Edwin Jasncs, Q.L-, and Mr. Lush, to 
.be rule. It appeared tint somclmio ago the defendant 
lcuUoine horses, width he was about to sell at Tuttcrs.ill s, and 
,;„„r others a horse named California, and some communication 
passed between the plaintiff mid tho defendant ns to the plaintiff 
purchasing the Imrsc. On tho Sunday previous to the sale, ho 
plaintiff went to TattcrsaU's to inspect tlm horse; and when the 
plaintiff went into the stable, he found the defendant upon h.s 
knees examining the animal, and in .-nbsiunee told him that the 
horso was sound. Thereupon the dclendant deststed D«jm Ins 
examination, and the next day he pnrcln.-ed the horse. I c en lo 
was made without a warranty, but it was contended, on tl.c pa t 
of the plaintiff, that what took place on the Sunday amounted to 
a warrant v. The defence was that there u as no warranty; and, 
even if there wns, evidence was given at tho trial to show that the 
horse was in fact sound. Tho Court was of opinion that the, 
defendant had merely made a representation to ho ^ 
what he believed to be the fact m reference to tho horse and had 
civen no warranty, and that the horso had been sold without any 
warranty. Under these circumstances, the rule must ho mndo 
nbsohite* to enter a nonsuit. Rule absolute necardingly. llio 
parties in tlds case arc well known. Mr. Hopkins, last season 
resided at M'nlcot, near Lutterworth, and also resides nt Bolliam
