Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, 1871

Carlton v. Hescox

Carlton v. Hescox
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided September 15, 1871
107 Mass. 410

Carlton v. Hescox

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

It did not appear that the horse in question was an ordinary horse; but as the defendant had left him with the plaintiff to be doctored, there was evidence that he was not in an ordinary condition. Therefore evidence as to how much hay an ordinary horse will eat or consume in a week was immaterial, and its rejection furnishes no ground of exception.

Exceptions overruled.
