They were to be whole bricks, but of course a percentage was broken in cartage. Defendant told him there were 8000 bricks short, but that was because he only counted whole bricks. Defendant engaged his own carter. Evidence was given by other witnesses to show that 600 bricks was a load for each dray, and that only whole bricks were loaded.
