own loss. The vender, however, may be called upon for remu¬ 
neration, if, on killing the pig within six weeks from the time of 
purchase, these worms should be found in any other part beside 
the tongue, although they had been visible in that organ at the 
time of sale. The foreign cattle merchants are treated according 
to the laws of their own country whenever the matter can be 
brought to a speedier termination, or an animal evidently affected 
with some prohibited disease is not attempted to be forced on the 
purchaser. 
C. The common law of the ci-devant principality of Bamberg 
admits a warranty of seven days only against the sale of horses 
with CHRONIC AFFECTION OF THE LUNGS, GLANDERS, MANGE, 
and IMMOBILITY. With regard to the rot in sheep the warranty 
is only conventional. 
D. In the district of Lauffen, formerly a part of the arch¬ 
bishopric of Salsbourg, an ordinance of so old a date as 1716 re¬ 
mains in force ; the prohibited diseases, with a warranty of fifteen 
days, are glanders, immobility or vertigo, pulmonary 
PHTHISIS, and broken wind. 
E. At Aschaffenbourg, and the neighbouring country, formerly 
dependent on the Electorate of Mayence, there exists a law which 
says that a warranty of four weeks and a day is granted for cattle 
and sheep with regard to the rot, epilepsy, turnsick, pulmo¬

a warranty of four weeks and a day against glanders, broken 
WIND, and IMMOBILITY, or VERTIGO. Conventional guarantees, iu 
order to be available, must be transcribed into the market-book ; 
and when the duration of any warranty is not expressly stated, it 
is supposed to be for four weeks and a day. This warranty can 
extend only to serious diseases and defects, on account of the 
numerous difficulties which would otherwise continually occur. 
When a beast, with regard to which there is any dispute, dies, 
the buyer must immediately send to the vender, inviting him to 
be present at the post-mortem examination of him. If, at the 
expiration of thirty-six hours, he does not make his appearance, 
the examination is conducted by persons legally appointed for 
this purpose; a proces verbal is then sent to the vender, together 
with the skin of the animal. 
When an animal, the subject of dispute, is destroyed, it must 
be effected in the presence of two proper officers, whose certifi¬
