HORSE-SHOES FIXED ON WITHOUT NAILS.

give up the money, but offered to give back the horse. The 
plaintiff refused to take the horse, and wanted only his money, 
and thereupon sued the defendant in the county court; when the 
question being whether the horse was or was not a good worker, 
the judge of that court referred the question to a veterinary 
surgeon, who, after seeing the horse at work, certified that he was 
a good worker; and, thereupon, there was a verdict for the 
defendant. The defendant then requested the plaintiff to take 
back the horse, and to pay the expenses of the keep. The plain¬ 
tiff hesitated to pay. The defendant then gave him a written 
notice, that if he did not, by a specified day, pay the expenses of 
the keep, he would sell the horse for the keep; and he accord¬ 
ingly kept his word, and sold the horse by auction for £1..10s., 
and immediately afterwards in the market for <^4..10s. The plain¬ 
tiff then claimed back the horse. 
The defence was that the horse was sold under a warranty; 
that the plaintiff had a right to rescind the contract on the horse 
not proving equal to the warranty, and that he did so; and that 
all his acts, till after the sale of the horse, were consistent with 
that view ; that therefore, though he had now a right to claim back 
the £9, he had no right whatever to claim the horse itself, which 
he had so steadily repudiated, till after it was in the defendant’s 
power to return it; and, consequently, that there ought to be, in 
this particular action, a verdict for the defendant. 
His Lordship summed up, telling the jury, that, unless the de¬ 
fendant also agreed to rescind the contract, it continued, and the 
horse remained the property of the plaintiff; and the defendant 
had no right to sell him for his keep, but merely to sue the plain¬ 
tiff in another action for it. 
The jury having deliberated for some time, found a verdict for 
the defendant.

Horses for general Service without Nails. 
Tt may appear strange that one who has passed the best years 
of his life in the distant regions of La Plata, where shoeing the 
horse is unnecessary, and consequently unpractised (save only for 
the paved streets of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video), should at
