And if he is doubt- ful, get another, two heads are better than one : and in such a case, if an amicable arrange- ment can be made with the seller, it is better than rushing into a court of justice, where no one can tell who is to lose or who to win. Those who want an illustration of this, will find one in this month's (August, 1833) Veteri- narian, where it is stated that a horse was bought, and soon after died, nobody knew what he died of, and yet the purchaser pursued the seller, and recovered the full price of the horse, with costs. So much for law.
