VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
County Court. 
(Before Joseph St. John Yates, Esq., Judge.) 
HORSE WARRANTY. 
Kenworthy v. Boden. 
This was an action to recover £20. The plaintiff was an 
extensive coal proprietor near Ashton-under-Lyne, and was repre¬ 
sented by Mr. Hudson ; and the defendant was a highly respectable 
miller in Portwood, in this county (Hereford!), for whom Mr. Wm. 
Vaughan appeared. 
Mr. Hudson , in opening the case, said that the defendant sold 
Mr. Kenworthy a horse on the 5th of March for £45, giving him a

publicly sold, of which the defendant had notice, for £30, leaving 
a deficiency of £15; to this must be added loss of service, keep, 
expenses of sale, and other charges, amounting to £11, making 
£26. The surplus of £6 not being recoverable here, the sum 
sought was £20. The first witness called was 
Mr. John Kenworthy , who said he was in partnership with his 
brothers James and George, as cotton manufacturers and colliery 
proprietors, in and near Ashton-under-Lyne. He came to Stock- 
port fair on March 5, to purchase a horse, and was accompanied by 
Joseph Swaine, a veterinary surgeon. In consequence of which he 
said he went to the premises of Mr. Boden to inquire whether he 
had a horse on sale, and he said he had, as he contemplated hav¬ 
ing his goods conveyed by rails in future. After waiting a little 
time a grey horse, a large one, returned with the cart; it was in the
