The Field Quarterly Magazine contains an articl e by Mr A. T. Jebb, barrister, on the law of warranty in connection with horses. He gives the following advice to those'who have been deceived: —"Assoo u as a breach of warranty is discovered, the purchase l ' should immediately tender the horse to the seller > and, if he refuses to take liim back, sell him as soo n as possible for what he will fetch. Where he is no t taken back, the measure of damages will be the differ" ence between the sum that was originally given for him, and the sum he ultimately brought. The purchaser is also entitled to charge against the seller as damage the expenses incurred in keeping the horse- for a reasonable time until he- can. be properly disposed of.. And so; if it is- advantageous for the sale of a horse to keep him at livery until a certain fair, it will' be the seller's duty to provide for the charges of standing at livery." _,
