Supplying Wrong Seed

m*

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS ! - i On Tuesday afternoon Major Ked dell, S.M, delivered the following judg-, ment m acme Nioollg v N.Z.L, and M A. 00, at G*maru ; — ' Thia ii an action for damages for ! losses sustained by the plaintiff owing j to the substitution of one kind of turnip seed being supplied by the defendant instead of the kind th*t wag j ordered by the plaintiff. In January, 1900, Mr Nieoll®, fchepkintiff. a farmer at Hakatermea, ordered from thedefen- j •dant company 50lbs of Devonshire Gieyntone turnip seed, and m the coarse of two or three d»ys a bag cou taimng turnip see*, and natrk'd by a l&'bal attached! " Greysfeone Turnip " was delivered to the plaintiff, and ihortly afterwards an invoice, dated Oamaro, 17fch January, 1900, was for warded by the company Co the plain tiff. This Invoice is as follows:— t(JG Nicollß, Esq. Belfield, Hakatera insa. Oaraaru, 17th January, 1900. l)r to the Nt:W Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited. Terou: Whilst using the greatest care m selection, we give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, productiveness, or other qualities of any seeds we may supply, and will not be m »ny way responsible for the crop. To 1 bag of Devon Oi-ftyatone Turnip, 501 b, at Bd, J>l 18s 4d ; rail to Hakaterame«, la 2d ; £1 Isa. E and O. E. On receipt of this seed, Mr Nicolls, believiDg it to be Devon Greystone, Bowed the same, *nd m doe course the seed came up abundantly, and appeared satisfactory, but afterwards, when the plants became more matured, it was evident that the roots were not ihd ordered, viz, Grey stone turnips, bat that of Purpla Top Mammoth, another variety of turnip, md which the plaintiff did not consider it for the purpose he intended—i c, feeding his abeep through the winter ieasw, which, io the Hakiteramea dis trict, is usually severe, and on May iJi, he wrote expressing his dissatisfaction tn the defendant company, explaining that the sabatitHtion would prove * serioas loss to him, and asking what they pro posed to do m the matter The defen dunfc replied on the 10th May that explanation was difficult; that the bag bnd th« original British seed merchant's t»g •Sued. On Jane 16tb, the plaintiff afifsin wrote, and on the 19 th the defen dant replied declining the responsibility •m terms of elau*e on oar invoice,,' and offering to submit any claim th® plaintiff misflit make tor compensation to Messrs Murray, Roberts and Co, who supplied the seed to as, On Jaly 20th, Mr Nicolls elated m a letter that he esti mated his damage at 10s per acre for 100 acres, via, £50. More correspond dance took place, but the parties could not arrive at any settlement, and hence this action. The plaintiff claims: (1) That m con«pqnpnee of the crop being Mammoth Purple Top he lost 40 sheep over and above the natural death rate when he put his sheep to feed npon the land — a lorn of £80 14". That the turnip grown from this aeed is of so soft & na ture that it becomes rotton before the time when plaintiff's Bhe- p could have eaten down the same, and that, thie would not have been the case if Devon Owystone had been sown, and m con sequence th« plaintiff lost shaep feed value £18 6j Id. That 100 wethers which were fed on ths said turnips, when taken off should have been fat, bufc the plaintiff' had to sell them as stores at a loss of 2a per head -—£10. Total damage claim, £80 0s Bd. The defendants claim that they aold under the terms shcvn at the head of their invoice, the deny on these grounds any responsibility; that the plaintiff had previous dealings with defendants, and that on all occasions the same form of invoice was used, a fret admitted by plaintiff, and that ho was consequently aware of these terms, and bad thus entered into an agree ment waiving the implied condition (See section 15, Hale of Goods Act, 1595.) It is submitted by Mr Newton for the defendant that there are two questions for my consideration: (1) Is the defendant legally liable, and (2) If so, what ie the measure of- damages. The ease is How croft v Laycock (14 Juries Law re ports, page 460) seems to me to be a cattn particularly m point-. This was an appeal to the County Goart, snd the ■ Judge of that Court thought that the " non-guarantee " clause (although verbatim with " terms }> at the head of the present defendant's invoice), pro tected tke plaintiff, or he would have found for the defendant, Tn the ap peal case, his judgment was reversed. In that cass it was, it seems, one spec ies of cabbage seed, that was ordered, and another, not so suitable for the pur chaser's requirements, was substituted. I cannot see how the present defend ant can succeed m the face of thie judgment, which I hold to be binding on me, (Hia Worship referred to the question of distingnivhing thp two seeds. Two witnesses wre called on this point, bo'fa reputable persons apd credible witnesses, and boh claiming acquaintance with the trade, ont&'ating thit he could distinguish the two kinrts, the othfir stating it to be impossible) Hia Wonhip proceeded:— As to the non guarantee ciause, I am of opinion that, to void fhp statuary iinpliai con dition m section 15, it requires certain anduripquivocfi! declaration or writing Oertti ly the invoice wou'd not do this —the waiver nciuet be a precedent con dition ; t? c invoice come* usually with or after, thp nopply And Ido not con. sider the evidence of the plaintiff ©a to the usual habit or cosom of thft com pany on previous occasions is sufficient to show that he was a pt.rt.y to 'he non guarantee c'mise on the sale. The section 15 applies to RVPry sale by description, unless itii mutually agreed by tha parties that ir, should not This em bp fasi'y afl<ac*erl Eut, m fchs pre sent caae Ido not. think mutuality is proved, As to damages, stress has been laid on the plaintiff's) claim £n the month of July- It may be fhafc the defendant had paid the £60 then that the plaintiff would have been precluded from recovering any further ''ama^ei ; hot the evidence Is that; the damage continued until the end of Anguat. I <.o noti think the dam'ige too temote, nor have I any evidence Co abafce any of tha Isims.rnade The evidence of the witnesses was as fco th« climatio condltlon« of the Hakateramea disteicfe. and all wl'messes have allowed tbat, m diffarenb parts of the colony ©xperienee has taught that difference as to ©rops ronat exist, aad the evidence of the
