Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. v. Hoffman
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. v. Hoffman
1 Sadler 405; 4 A. 848; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 656
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. v. Hoffman
Opinion of the Court
We are clearly of opinion that the contract of sale in this case created a warranty as to the- quality of the iron. In view of the place where the parties understood it was to be used, we see no error in ascertaining the damages there. The purchasers had a right to rely on the contract and to recover damages of the vendor, who was also the manufacturer, for a breach thereof.
Judgment affirmed.
