much pleased with her. There was never a word said about warranting- the 
mare free from vice. He left the mare with the major for two or three 
hours, on the 6th of July, that he might try her. The major asked 
him if he would sell the mare, and he said if he did, he would sell 
her on the same conditions as he bought her, and that was without a 
warranty. The major said he would take her, and he (witness) should 
hear no more about her, if a veterinary surgeon passed her. He had 
the animal brought over to be examined. He got Holmes’s opinion, 
and after he had paid for her, the major got a piece of paper, and said, 
“ I suppose you will warrant her.” Witness said he would have no more 
to do with her, that he might either have the money or the mare, and 
the major said he would have the mare. The major borrowed his groom 
for ten days to take charge of her, and it was after the major’s groom 
came home that he heard the complaint about the mare. He saw the 
mare after she was sold by auction. She was not now a “ wind-sucker.” 
He had never observed the least symptoms which Mr. Holmes then 
described. 
Thomas Beckworth was called, and stated that the mare had not been 
a “ wind-sucker.” He had never noticed any signs of unsoundness or 
vice before this concern started. He bad had more than thirty years’ 
experience of horses. 
Mark Henry Potts said, Mr. Harper stated, during the conversation 
with the plaintiff, that he would not give a warranty for the horse. De¬ 
fendant said lie might have the horse on trial, that he believed she was 
sound, but he would not warrant her. 
John Foster, an elderly farrier, said he examined the mare at Mr. 
Harper’s request, on the 7th of August. She was not a “ wind-sucker.” 
He watched the horse an hour, and there was not the slightest indica¬ 
tion of unsoundness. 
Bij his Honour —She might not exhibit the symptoms for half a day, 
and still be a “wind-sucker.” 
Mr. Si/lvester then again addressed the jury, after which his Honour 
summed up, and the jury gave a verdict for defendant.— Hull Times.
