Markham. against Rebert Staples and Roderick Staples. 0! the Town- ship of Laxton, which action was tried before a. jury at the sittings of the County Court held here in De- cember. The plaintiff had sold to the defendants two stallions for which the deiendants gave their pron missory notes. Certain payments were made on these notes by the adendants. but it was contended by the defendants that one of these stallions did not live up to the guar- antee glVen. and that it was return- ed to the plaintiff and that the pay- ments made on the notes giVen for the stallion in 'question should be applied on the notes given for the other stal- lion. In addition to this the defend- ants claimed from the plaintif! $700 damages by reason of the alleged breaCh of warranty and the further sum of 8500 by reason of the plain- tifl neglecting and refusing to give to the defendants a transfer of the stalâ€" lion retained, and the defendants fur- -Ln. gamma (rnm 1h:- nlaintifl $100 by way 0! commission on the sale of a certain horse made by the plaintifl to Mr, Hebe!

(2) What damages. if any, did the defendants stiller? The jury found that there was no settlement between the parties. and. further found that the defendants did not sufler any damages. The plaintifl's counsel then maved for judgment on the findings or the lm. and in the result judgment has been given in favor of the plaintifl for the sum of 815.02. together with costs on theIDiVision Court scale. the judge further finding that the detenti- ants were not entitled to any set on for County Court costs by reason of their having failed in their counter- claim for commission and damages.
