Opinion
Plaintiff’s right to recover in this action in the court of common-pleas depended on proof of the fact that the goods sold did not comply with the laws of Pennsylvania.
It seems to us that the proof in the record is not sufficient to establish this fact. The filing of an affidavit in the courts of Pennsylvania charging that these goods as not coming up to thé requirements of the-law of that state does not prove or tend 'to prove that the goods did not. comply with the law and the fact that the plaintiff pleaded guilty to the charge does not prove the fact of the adulteration.
The petition does not contain a charge that the goods did not comply with the laws of Pennsylvania, but both parties seemed to have-tried the ease on' the theory that it did. For these reasons we think the judgment should be reversed and the cause remanded to the court, of common • pleas for further proceedings according to law.
Our construction of the contract would warrant the recovery of the damages claimed if the breach of the contract had been proved.
