Mr. Sergeant Lens si Led to the ju ry, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for the a mount ot a cargo of Virginia Tobacco de liverable to the latter, but tor which he un derstood he declined to pay, on the ground that the article was not marketable. The amount claimed was 4,140/. 19s. 4d. the residue of bills which the parties when they bought the tobacco, stipulated to accept, but eventually did not, on the delivery of -die goods. With respect to the quality ol *he article, the learned Sergeant said that it was one of the last cargoes for the sea son from America, which was generally | considered to be rather inferior to the early importations, and at a lower price. lie would prove that the parties had bargained for it as such, and consented to take it with its faults, the plaintiff repeatedly re | fusing to guarantee a superior quality. Certain admissionsof the defendant were put in and read, acknowledging the arrival of the tibacco, and the re usal to accept the bills. Mr. Geo. Scholey, a broker said, that in Feb. and March, 1821, ‘lie was employed by the plaintiffs, to dispose of this cargo, (while afloat) of tobacco. He sa v the de fendant repeatedly on the subject of this cargo, and shewed him, before he entered into the contract, the letters now handed to witness. (The letters were then read in evidence: they contained a statement from the shippers in Virginia, that the cargo of Tobacco was of a pi oper quality, and there was also a memorandum upon the contract ■of sale at 30s per cwt. cargo afloat, thiee ■ months credit between the plaintiff and j the defendant, that the former had refused j jto insert “a warianty;” but, on the co,Al a ry, that it must be taken subject “to all faults.”—The witnessfurther said,that the defendant had asked him if he knew wheth er there was a ca.go of Virginia tobacco on | sale in the market; he replied in tiiealitr. | mative, and was then empowered to make ian offer to the plaintiff - for the cargo.— The latter accepted the offer. Previous to the contract, llie defendant read all these letters respecting the quality of the tobac co, and said lie should on no account buy it unless he believed it to be a lair cargo of jtobicco. Witness said lie did not believe ‘that Mr. Noble would represent it io be such, unless the fact were so—but be con veyed u message from the defeudent to the plaintiff; that the note did not contain a warranty, of the article, as it was repre sented in the letters to be a ‘fair cargo’— he replied tlial warranty, adding that no price would tempt him [the defendant]] to buy an inferior article. Mr. Noble decli ned by any means giving any such warran ty as the defendant then desired—and he j put upon the contract a memorandum, that ! the cargo must be taken ‘with all faults,’ adverting at the same time to toe dispute j which bad ar -n about the sale of ‘cargoes j afloat.’ Wit 3 s, desiring the neg. ciation between the parties to be c inducted in writing, then exhibited to the defendant .Mr. Nobie’s note and the above memoran dum, as a sample of the cargo. Mr. llealil still continued averse to receiving the con tract, and always required the insertion in I the body of the contract of a warranty of fthe tobacco, which Mr. Noble as often re fused to insert. But eventually on’change, lhe defendant, on the 15th March, inform ed witucss and Mr. Noble, who attended j there on purpose, that he was surprised Mr. Noble would not insert a warranty—the latter said he believed from the character of die shippers, and the tenure of their let ters, that it was lair merchantable tobacco —but he said he would nut bind himsell to such a description by a warranty in the j contract. The defendant, after Change, j at his own counting house, repeated over a g.'iin, that lie would not on any account buy infeiinr tobacco —and after complain ing, that the warranty he required was withheld, he. said he believed Mr. Noble would not say the tobacch was fair unless lit was so,and that relying on that presump tion, he should take the cargo. There was I however, a pencil mark put on the con tract, stating that the whole of the tobacco ‘had passed inspection at Virginia. Cross examined.—Mr. Heald certainly did not accept the contract until this pen ciled memorandum was inserted. Mr. ! Heald compplained to the last that he would not have a cargo of sticks and stumps l nor would he have a refuse cargo; be said jhe wanted nothing but what was fair be tween merchant and merchant. He bought the cargo decidedly upon the faith ol the description of the cargo in the letters shown to him. Witness subsequently saw sam ! pies of the cargo, which did not at all prove to conesp-pifc with the description Ip. the letters H was decidedly not what would be called in the market a “fair and merchantable article,” id the sense of the I representation originally made ol it. Re-examined.—“ Tobacco had considera iblv fallen in the market since the date of this contract. On the 15th of March, 30s. per cwt. was certainly considered a low price. The mate of the vessel proved that the cargo consisted of 23G casks of tobacco irorn Petersburg!), Virginia; otherwise, indeed, they would not be permitted to embark. Jeremiah Rhodes was present at Peters btirgh, Virginia, anil proved the inspection •fibe tobacco by the public officer at that place, and the correctness of tile weight in he invoice. No tobacco can pass the in spection without being considered merch antable. Mr. Sergeant Lens addressed the Jury for the defendant. He commenced by ta king an objection, in point of law, on the lace of the contract, whielvdid not set forth the pencil marks alluded to in the counts of the declaration. The court reserved the point. The learned Sergeant then contended,that the unfair representations of the cargo made by the plainitift',altogeth er vitiated the contract attempted now to lie enforced against the del'eddant. When he spoke of the false representations, he exhonerated Mr. Noble from willfully ma king them; he believed rather that the plaintiff’ was acting under instructions which he received from abroad, and on which he had unfortunately relied in the transaction. As to the effect of the con tract, lie would show, not as affecting Mr. Noble, but as referable to the shipper, that the representation was fraudulent; if it were so, it would as the learned Judge would tell them, vitiate the contract. The Lord Chief Justice remarked, that where the description necessarily involved an imputation of fraud, it certainly went to vitiate a contract. There weie many eases in point—pictures, for instance, where the names of the celebrated masters were used to push off'their value. Mr.Sergeant Vaughan said, in conclu sion, that he should prove the cargo was exactly the reverse of what it was descri bed. Mr. Roy.ey, a partner in the mercantile house of Ilozey Jj’ Cos. of Rotterdam, re membered the arrival of the cargo of tobac co at that place in April last. Capt. YVal lisdclivered to him the bill of lading, the note of weights, and the charter party; hut no manifest was ever delivered. Witness es house paid the du<y ami freight. The cargo was discharged in the usual manner by lighters,and inspected by several per sons. It was an or dinary nr common car go ol tobacco, and a mixed kind; it was of all sorts. Uross-examincd.-It was considered worth ■bur and a half stivers; a fair cargo would then bring about s}. ‘This was not what he should call “a fair cargo.’ J. J. Minderhoff’(examined through an in terpreter) said that he had seen this cargo of tobacGo at Rotterdam, where lie was a broker, in the habit of inspecting tobacco for seven years: he had looked at each hogs head seperately, and considered the cargo to be a common one: it would be called so in their market. There were three classes of tobacco in the market, and this belonged to the lowest quality. Mr. Sergeant Lens, in reply, contended, that no imputation whatever attached, ac cording to the evidence, to the seller of the tobacco. He admitted that the tobacco did not correspond with the description contained in the letter—but was it on the letters alone the purchaser acted ? Or was it not, on the contrary, after the plaintiff’ refused to give a warranty, and ‘nsisted that the purchase, if made at all, must be made “with all faults?” And under these circumstances, the defendant acquiesced in that pur chase, lie bought therefore, w hen fully on his guard, that Mr Noble would not by his own responsibility, the warranty of Iris principal—and he could not now turn round and annul a contract, into which, with his eyes open, he had en tered. The lord chief justice summed up thee • idence to the jury, who after a short con sultation, returner! a verdict for the plan tiff, to the full amount of his contract.
