The testimony consisted of correspondence supplemented by oral evidence. The declaration seeks to recover loss of profits for an alleged breach of a contract made in New York. The measure of damages, is not disputed. It is set forth in Rhode Island General Laws, Chap. 265, Section 1, Sub-section 4, which is the same language used in the New York Sale of Goods Act.

The defence is,

First: That there was no material breach of the contract;

Second: That if any breach occurred, plaintiff waived it;
