WuRTEMBURGH. 
The ordinance of the 17th of February, 1767, is still in force. 
Glanders, immobility, every description of vertigo, mange, 
FISTULA, FARCY, STRANGLES, and almost cvcry kind of malady, 
as CANCER OF the E AR, C ARI ES O F TH E jaw, CANCER OF THE 
PREPUCE OR VAGINA, or MAMM^, and also broken wind, 
and PHTHISIS, and specific ophthalmia, are considered as un¬ 
soundness. The warranty extends to eight weeks for ophthal¬ 
mia, and four weeks and three days for all the other maladies. 
In cattle, phthisis and turnsick constitute unsoundness, 
with a warranty of two months with respect to the former, and 
four weeks and three days with regard to the latter. In sheep 
the HUMID and the dry mange, with a warranty of a fortnight 
and a day. \u pigs, consumption and the measles, with a 
warranty of four weeks and three days. No particular malady 
is designated with regard to goats ; but the law says that if 
they are unsound, the loss must fall on the vender. There is no 
warranty with regard to sows that are suckling their young ones. 
No action on the warranty can be brought except for these dis¬ 
eases ; and the time of the warranty having once expired, the 
purchaser loses all claim for compensation, even although he may 
be able to prove that the cause of unsoundness did exist before 
the sale. No declaration that he will not warrant the animal 
against certain diseases or causes of unsoundness will protect 
the seller. The warranty extends to every circumstance men¬ 
tioned in the law. The sale may be annulled when the value 
of the animal is diminished one-third by the disease com¬ 
plained of.
