A]j article by Mr. A. T. Jcbb, barrister, explaining the law of warranty in horse dealing, appears in the Field Quarterly Magazine, in which the following advice is offered to those who have been deceived: — “As soon as a breach of warranty is discovered, the purchaser should immediately tender the horse to the seller; and, if he refuse to take him back, sell him as soon as possible for what he will fetch. Where he is not taken back, the measure of damages will be the difference between the sum that was originally given for him, and the sum he ultimately brought. The purchaser is also entitled to charge against the seller as damage the expenses incurred in keeping the horse for a reasonable time until he can be properly disposed of. And so, if it is advantageous for the sale of a horse to keep him at livery until a certain fair, it will be the seller’s duty to provide for the charges of atsnding at livery.”
