Ambrose Dennis Hussey , v. John Coleman , V.S. 
OSSIFIED CARTILAGE. 
This was an action to recover the sum of £35 10s. Id., the difference 
arising from the sale of a horse which the plaintiff, a gentleman resid¬ 
ing in New-street, had purchased of the defendant, a veterinary surgeon, 
carrying on business, in Endless-street, in this city. Mr. H. J. Swayne, 
barrister (instructed by Messrs. Hoddings, Townsend, and Lee) ap¬ 
peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. W. K. Norris, solicitor, of Devizes, re¬ 
presented the defendant. 
The following gentlemen were sworn on the jury: Mr. John Marsh 
(Foreman), Mr. William Henry Woodcock, Mr. T. F. Newton, Mr. 
John Fleetwood, and Mr. Henry Targett. 
Mr. Swayne having stated the facts, and pointed out the law bearing 
on the case, called Mr. A. D. Hussey, who said—I am the plaintiff in 
this action. On the 5th November last, Mr. Coleman offered to sell me 
a bay- mare. I asked him to allow me to ride her with the hounds the 
following day. He said she was so fat that 1 should not be able to see 
any sport with her. I rode her to the meet at Winterslow to try her.
