M.r Hamilton said he was not at once, but he could get the anthoritips hf rpqnired in a very short time. He had not anticipated any objection. He •had sent Mr Cl-'in^nt a copy of the lr j tter sent to ILs TVoisbip. and he thought that if Mr Clcrurmt intended to address the Coin t on the points of law he should ha\p givpn him notice. The case was adjourned foi half an hour, to allow Mr Hamilton to get his ftniho'itie^, and. on resnm'np. Mr Hamilto'i quoted authorities showing at length that it AVas only a qa^stion vrhether sufficient time had h}en taken to decide if the ai tides w^n as reprpsented.

The buyer was und?r a> resnonsibilii v to cxamioe the things! and decide for himself as to ' ■HPf'tiier he would takp them. Mr Hamilton said the purrhasor miwht accept the goods, and a tferwards ' hi mg an action for breach of wnrrantv. ' It was certain that the kegs were sold und »r the ns&uiuption that they were to be used fo y holding fhe gallons. Tiio Magistrate thither withheld his decision. ! „ .
