Syllabus

<p>The ignorance of the vendor that the cotton sold by him was falsely packed, does not exempt him from liability for the difference between the value of the bales, in their actual condition, and what the value would have been if the quality throughout the bale had been uniform with the samples.</p> <p>Where the seller is not cognizant of the hidden defects of the thing sold, he is liable for the difference at the time and place of sale, between the actual value of the bales falsely packed, and what they would have been worth, if the entire contents had corresponded with the outer portion.</p>
