ECHO OF HEREFORD SALE . A case of considerable importance and in- terest to horse breeders and dealers was heard at Ross County Court on Saturday last , before His Honour Judge Hill Kelly - a case which occupied nearly four hours . The action arose out of the purchase of a horse at the prize Horse Bale held in Hereford in April last , and during the hearing some very debatable and interesting points were raised on the question of sandcrack , and whether it rendered it unsound . The parties were Mr. Thomas Skeats , coal merchant . of Elm- grove House , Whitchurch , near Cardiff , who Mr. Francis Williams ( to witness ) : Was He did not think the question of law pre- sented any real difficulty .

At the time of writing it looks very much as though the threatened rehellion in South Africa under Beyers and De Wet were going to share the fate of Maritz's . Things have happened since the Pence of Vereeniging was signed . The Boer leaders of the war are not all so untouched by age as Christian De Wet ; the opinions of the surviovrs have softened considerably , and a new generation has sprung up almost in brotherhood with the English , who ask nothing better than that the Union should be left to work ont its own destiny in its own way . Above all things , it is now clear that there is no pro- German inclination behind the rebellion . Militarism is the Inst form of government which appeals to the Boer mind , though a few of them may still think that , with South Africa clear of British garrison . and the Germans occupying the attention of the Cape in the south - west , the opportunity to resuscitate the Vierkleur is propitions .

That being his opinion his an- swer to this rather serious question raised Mr. Arthur Benjamin Blower , also a part- was in favour of the plaintiff . As to the ner in Messrs .

The sandcrack other horses to be sold as sound with sand- say and to make it quite clear that he did was quite patent to the eye . He had known ment for that amount . He also desired to crack . It might be a blemish . His Honour : Is it not your duty , when you catalogue a horse as sound , and know there is a defect , to tell the buyers about it . acted as agents between the buyers and the Mr. Blower said it was not . They merely sellers , and they would not declare there was sandcrack unless instructed to do so by . the seller . By Mr. Francis Williams : A sanderack would be a defect in a way , but it would not cause unsoundness . On the day of the sale , the horse appeared to be perfectly sound and not at all lame . ing that there was any improper conduct on not think there was any ground for suggest- the part of Mr. Foster or his bailiff as to the concealment of the sanderack .

After the sale the horse was taken home , and on the Sunday it was was not put to work . On Monday , April 20th , however , the plaintiff put the horse to do certain work , and it was after he had done this that he discovered the horse was bleeding on the near fore foot . He then examined the horse , and found it was suffering from sandcrack . He immedia- tely wrote to the auctioneers , calling their attention to this , concluding his letter by saying that he was sorry his first deal with The auctioneers replied the firm was wrong saying it would have been better if Mr. Skeats had wired to them before noon on Monday , but that they had forwarded his letter to Mr. Foster's bailiff , to hear what he had to say on the matter .
