P, Ragan, Esq., the pros- ecntors. t 'C It seems that after the sale Mr Sherrod phoned Mr. Fields to let ' a Mr Rush, have the. horse and that he (Mr. Sherrod) would pay for same that afternoon..' But when the horse was haltered and i before Mr.' Rush got his i handr on the halter the animal broke loose and r ran to the woods, where it came in u -contact with a barbed wire fence. a ' inflicting such serious wounds that 1 it died next day. ; The question in point is Whether the horse belonged to Mr: Sherrod, " after - b'dding it k off or whether it should have been in the bands of Mr. Rush before 'the trade was binding. . The triaj consumed s a ;; good i p&rt of the afternoon but the mag T ist rates reserved their decision nn- til next morning when theydecided that the case be dismissed and that the plaintiffs pay costs.
