LAWS OF WARRANTY IN THE GERMANIC STATES. 485 
pense of the keep of the animal and of the legal proceedings 
shall be defrayed by him. When one of a couple of oxen proves 
to be unsound, the seller can be only compelled to take back the 
defective one, or to return half of the money paid; and the same 
rule will hold good when more than a pair of oxen have been 
sold. When a cow is declared by the vender to be in calf, and 
the calving does not take place until a month after the time he 
has indicated, the purchaser has a right to some indemnity; but 
if it is found, still later, that she was not in calf at all, the seller 
must return to the buyer half the estimated value of a calf 
dropped at the time which he had indicated. The purchaser 
has also a claim to indemnity for the time during which he has 
not been able to use the beast. This last arrangement, however, 
will not take place in case of abortion; but it will be required of 
the seller to prove that abortion. 
F. In the principalities of Anspach and Bayreuth, formerly 
belonging to Prussia, the custom of that country, and which will 
be presently described, is followed. 
G. In that part of Bavaria bordering on the Rhine the code 
of Napoleon is observed, with some few additions. A cow may 
be returned as vicious when she milks herself, when she kicks 
during the milking, or when she labours under dysentery. If a 
beast is sold without warranty, it may be returned on account 
of any unsoundness or vice of which it can be proved that the 
owner had cognizance. It is supposed to pass into the hands 
of the purchaser without unsoundness or vice. 
In the communes formerly a part of the Palatinate, the war¬ 
ranty extends, in the horse, to glanders, epilepsy, immobi¬ 
lity, KESTivENESS, and latent fistula of any part. The 
warranty comprises four weeks and a day. In cattle and sheep 
it extends to phthisis, epilepsy, the rot, turnsick, and 
CARIES OR CANCER OF THE JAW. The duration of the war¬ 
ranty is four weeks and a day, with the exception of phthisis, 
in which it extends to two months; with the proviso, that if the 
animal dies within the first three months, the seller shall return 
the whole of the price, and half of it only if the animal should 
be lost in the second three months. When an animal is sold as 
sound, and without any defect, this sweeping warranty continues 
fifteen days against every vice or ailment. 
In the communes formerly attached to the bishopric of Spires 
the warranty continues two months against glanders in the 
horsef and four weeks and a day against mange, immobility, 
BROKEN WIND, and phthisis; and in cattle and sheep six 
months against consumption, the rot, turnsick, and 
CARIES OF THE JAW. If ally of tlicsc diseases appear within
