A CATTLE DEAL.

JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF. In the Magistrate’s Court to-day argument was heard in the case of Buchanan v. Kano, heard on Friday, last, a claim for £l3 0s 10d, being loss sustained by the plaintiff owing to defendant’s refusal to receive and pay for certain yearlings sold by plaintiff to defendant, at Tokirima. Mr Spence in reply contended that tiie words “a good line of good sorts” was not a description, it was a mere expression of opinion and there could be no breach of warranty. He quoted authorities in support of his argument. Kis Worship, in giving judgment, stated that ho had not much doubt on the merits of tho case. He did not think it could bo seriously suggested, that the words “good line of good sorts” stated anything more than his opinion as to what the quality of the animals were and the fact that they were re-sold at a higher price showed that they were worth tho money. Mr Malone had suggested negligence, hut he had no evidence in support of that contention. Ho gave judgment for the plaintiff for the amount claimed and costs amounting to £5 11s.
