some hurdles, the plaintiff looked at him, and he told him the price was 
£22. Defendant informed him that he had been sold to Mr. Pearce, of 
Kingsvveston, for £30, and added, “ He tells me the horse is lame; you 
are a judge, go and look at him ; he is to he sold at a bad price.” He 
bid £20, hut they parted ; Carey came up, and they closed the bargain 
at £21 ; they went into the Cattle Market tavern to a desk for the 
accommodation of dealers, and he drew a check for the amount, and he 
(defendant) gave him a receipt for the money, upon which he stated 
that “ he warranted the horse good in harness and at hunting, hut not 
sound;” told him he should sell the horse “for life.” The defendant 
stated that at the interview at the Bell inn the plaintiff said he would 
not have bought the horse had he ridden him first, hut afterv\ards said 
he was good enough for him if he could get a day or two of hunting out 
of him a week.

jun., son of the defendant, were also examined. 
Mr. Clifton replied upon the defendant’s case in an able and powerful 
speech, and 
His Honour having summed up at great length, the jury, after nearly 
an hour’s consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the 
amount claimed.
