Levy v. American Wax & Paper Manufacturing Co.

• Court: Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York
• Decided: July 15, 1898

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The .order first given to the plaintiff for Japan wax described the article as “ prime,” and the bill rendered by the plaintiff therefor described it in similar terms.' We think that this •constituted a warranty that the goods sold were of that quality. Zabriskie v. C. V. R. R. Co., 131 N. Y. 72. As all of the subsequent orders given referred expressly to the previous one, the warranty extended also to the goods thus sold. It. appears that the wax in question was grossly adulterated, and was not prime Japan wax. The defendant was, therefore, entitled to recover such damages as he might be able to prove under his counterclaim founded upon the warranty. As he was not permitted to do so, the judgment must be reversed.

■Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.
