Monday
Alleged Breach of Warranty - Huggins v. Blake
 This was an action to recover damages for an alleged breach of warranty in the sale of a number of lambs, they either having been warranted "all right," or that the fact of their being affected with sheep scab at the time of the sale was not disclosed.
 Mr Bulwer, QC, and Mr Blofeld, were counsel for the plaintiff, Robert Huggins, farmer and dealer, Banham; and Mr O'Malley, QC, with him Mr Carlos Cooper, appeared for the defendant, Charles  Edward Blake, farmer, Hockwold-cum-Wilton, who pleaded not guilty, that the lambs were free from scab, and were not infected with scab.
....
 The jury were locked up a considerable time; and at half-past five it was intimated that there was no chance of their agreeing, there being eleven to one.
 His Lordship directed them to be further locked up till seven, when the Deputy-Clerk of Assize would attend to receive their verdict, if by that time it was agreed to. Before the arrival of the hour named, however, the jury made up their minds in favour of the defendant, for whom they accordingly found their verdict.

[Article has details of the deal and statements from numerous witnesses. It's very long.]
