In his amended petition in the district court of Hall county Peter Heintz alleged that about January 13, 1892, he, as agent for Adam Windolph, had purchased a stock of plows from Deere, Wells & Co. for the spring trade of 1892, and that in said purchase were included two “New Deal Gang Plows,” for which said Heintz as agent of Windolph paid the sum of $89.50. It was further averred in the petition that Deere, Wells & Go. represented in a written contract, upon which reliance was placed by Windolph in purchasing as aforesaid, that “All plows sold under said contract were suitable for spaing plowing and the spring trade and perfectly fit and suitable for the purposes the said tools were sold, viz., plowing'; and under said contract defendant agreed to be responsible for the performance and work of all said plows sold and especially the two in controversy in this case, excepting that the manufacturer shall not be held responsible for the performance of a plow after it has been heated or radically changed by anyone away from the factory.” It was furthermore alleged that, “Said plows, were not heated or radically changed in any manner whatever; that plaintiff gave both plows a fair and impartial trial in different kinds and conditions of soil during the spring and summer of 1892, and that said plows were worthless for the purpose sold, i. e., plowing, or fori any other or different purpose, and that they refused to work and did not work even in the hands of experts.” The above quoted averments were followed by allegations of a return of the said plows to the defendant by direction of its general agent, an assignment by Windolph of his right of action to plaintiff *673and of a demand of payment of the claim sued on and the continued refusal of defendant to make snch payment. There was also a prayer for judgment in the sum of $89.50, with interest from September 12, 1892,- — the date of the alleged assignment of the claim to Heintz. By the defendant’s answer the averments of the petition were denied except that there were admissions of the refusal to pay and of the existence of the exception which exempted the defendant from liability if the plows were heated or radically changed. There were affirmative matters pleaded in the answer, but in the view we take of the case it is not necessary at this time that these should be considered. There was a verdict for the amount claimed by the plaintiff, on which verdict judgment was duly rendered, and for the reversal of this judgment Deere, Wells & Co. prosecute these error proceedings to this court.

Prom the description of the cause of action set out in the petition which has been already given it is clear that the warranty pleaded was that the two plows were suitable for spring trade, and were perfectly fit for the purpose for which they were sold, that is, for plowing, and that Deere, Wells & Co. agreed to be responsible for the performance and work of these plows. The breach of the above warranty alleged was that the plows were worthless for plowing and refused to work and did not work even in the hands of experts. Lest there may be a misapprehension of our meaning it is proper to say that we do not consider' the averment that these plows were worthless for any other or different purpose than plowing, as at all material, for it is not within the scope of the warranty set out in the petition. As we view it, therefore, the breach of warranty upon which alone plaintiff in the district court was entitled to reljy for a recovery was, that the plows would not work, and were worthless for plowing. There was given by the court the following instruction: “No. 10. The jury are instructed that the word ‘workmanship’ is defined and means that which is effected, made, or pro*674duced, manufactured, especially something made by manual labor; and, if you find from the evidence that the defendant Deere, Wells & Co. warranted the plows to be of good workmanship, then in that event, the said plows were warranted to be properly constructed, made, and produced, and fit for the purpose sold.” Under the averments of the petition it was not a relevant inquiry as to whether or not the two plows were of good workmanship; neither was the right to a recovery in terms predicated upon an agreement that the plows were properly constructed, made, and produced. It was required to make out the breach of the warranty pleaded to show that the plows would not work Or would not do good plowing, and it mattered not even though they might be awkward in design and unsymmetrical in proportion. By this instruction the attention of the jury was directed to an inquiry which was entirely foreign to the issues presented by the pleadings, and we cannot but think that in this misdirection there was prejudicial error. The judgment of the district court is therefore reversed.

Reversed and remanded.
