The case concerned an appeal against a decision that held a seller liable for damages due to the sale of an animal with a hidden defect, despite the buyer having inspected the animal before the sale. The court reasoned that inspection prior to sale does not relieve the seller of the warranty against hidden defects, as such inspection can only reveal apparent defects, not those rendering the object unfit for its intended use which were unknown to the buyer at the time of sale, thus affirming the lower court's ruling against the seller.
