Buddie for the defendant.—ln opening the caso Mr Cooper explained than on tho 12th June last plaintiff took bwo fillies bo defendant, who was a horse and cabtle dealerr, and arranged with him to graze the two for la 6d each per week. Both fillies wera thoroughbreds, their sires being, respectively, the well-known racing horses Brigadier and King Cole (also the sire of Nelson). During their stay in the paddock, defendant took a Maori stallion into tha same paddock, and, as a resulb, both fillies became in foal. The sballion being a weed, the value of tha mares had been seriously affected, as ib was a law ef nabure bhat all foals gob a bhrow-back on bhe first stallion. Especially so was this in the case of thoroughbred mares.
