gross of a toy called the "Toto or Little Bookmaker," an article which enabled va aumber of people to engage in a gambling game. He found a ready sale for them, ind. gare several repeat orders until Levier's stock was exhausted. On December 21st, however, Levien telephoned Dickinson that he had a new consigament from Germany, al Dickinson that day went to Lerien's warehouse where he bought sight enaës of "Toto," paving Levièn £893 for them. He took Lerien's assurance that the toys were identical with those previously bought, but soon after be commenced to sell them complaints were received that they would not work, and customers brought them

back.

In the toys first supplied the player.. by shaking the toy," caused three coloured dises to show through holes in the front of the toy, and below the colours other discs showed the odds to be paid on the three colours. The "Totos" supplied in December were "of an inferior make, and the discs would not move when the toys were shaken. Dickinson's elním was mado, up as follows: £323 paid for the goods, plus £1..138. kl., which would have been his profit if the goods had been merchant- able, lesa £109. 6s. 6d. for goods sold, leaving a balance of £255, s. 10d. Three of the eight cases had been disposed of; the other five cases were unsold, and Levien had refused to take them back or make any allowance.

Wilson Dickinson, in evidence, said be- fore December 21st he had sold about 6,000 of the "Toto." `·.

The judge: I supposo every gambler in Manchester had not got one by then and there was a demand for more? (Laughter.)Yes, I could have sold a lot more if they had been satisfactory.

When customers started complaining I suppose you had two kinds of customers coming into your shop those who wanted to buy and those who wanted to grumble. (Laughter:)-Yes, any lord.

Witness addad that he ceased trying to sell the toys when he found they were not workable.

The Judge had specimens of the two classes of "Toto" handed up to him, and shook them in auccession: Holding up one of the later type he said: The fault about this is that something has got to the Winning post and sticks there and prevents anything else getting there. (Laughter.)

The Judge: Is it to be said that these things are all right and are merchantable ?

Mr. Lastgarten: It is certainly going to be said they were bought after examina-

tion..

The Judge: If that is the defence I shall try it, but it must certainly be 'un- derstood that I am not going to examine the whole of these things in the five unsold cases. It must bo obvious I cannot go through five cases and shake every one of them. (Laughter.)

Mr. Lustgarten: Not unless your lord. ship is going to occupy yourself in the Long Vacation. (Laughter.)

The Judge: But I am not the Vacation Jadge. (Renewed laughter.)

Dickinson, having stated in cross amination that a great many people who bought from the last consignment did not bring the toys back, the Judge said? - Very likely not. The man who buys one of these things and calls his friends and neighbours together in order that he may make a little money at their expense, when he finds it won't work probably throws it into the fire in diagust, and lets. it end there. When I shake it I get green as the winner but no odds to it, and when I shake it again I get odds of

4 to 1, but it is another colour sa the winner. (Loud Laughter.)

who said that before Dickinson bought the Leight cases of "Toto" he examined the contents of one. He took out two or three of the toys and shook them and then said They seem all right.".

In giving judgement his Lordship said in his opinion the goods taken from the five unsold cases were not merchantable, but be found that Dickinson did in furt examine the goods before he bought them, and although he did not persist in his examion tion long enough to reveal the defects, there was an examination, and that did away with the contention that the goods were bought without examination under an implied warranty. The action of Dickinson therefore failed and there would be judge. ment for Tevien with costs..
