Court Of King's Bench, We...
This action was brought by Sir James Bland Lamb to recover the price of a horse returned by him to the defendant, and the expense of his keep. MIr. SCARILETT saidl, this case supplied an example of an inge. nious method adopted of late years for the sale of unseund horses. A person assuming the appearance of an officer, or gentleman of fortune, advertised the sale of his stud; anid removed all scrtuples from the minds of parties who were desirous of purchasing, by en- gaging to take back the horses and return the money if they shou'd not be approved on trial. lWlhen, however, the parties discovered that the horses were unsound, and attempted to return them, they could not find the gentleman with whom they had contracted, and were obliged to bear the loss. The plaintifF', attracted by an adver- tisement in the Morning Post, had purch ased a horse for 80 guineas on a contraet of return; the hiorse proved unsound, and then he could obtain no money from the seller. It was proved that the sale was on condition of return ; that the horse was tendered; but that no party would receive him or repay the price. No def'ence woas nffered, ant the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff-Damages, 1001. SOLOMO10N V. GENESSE.
