Schuyler v. Russ

Schuyler v. Russ
New York Supreme Court · Decided November 15, 1804
2 Cai. Cas. 202
Schuyler v. Russ

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The proof was admissible. A warranty •does not extend to things which, from the senses, may ba discerned tobe otherwise. Finch's Law, 189 ; 1 Salk. 211. ’Here the defect was not only visible, but the plaintiff told the defendant of it truly and explicitly, nay, even directed his attention particularly to it. The defect in question was not, therefore, within the purview of the contract, and the parol proof being admitted,(a) the verdict was agreeble to-the weight of evidence and the justice of the case.
