When is a hoss trade not a hoss trade
A county magistrate court case holds a hoss trade void when one party is drunk. Rush Racey vs George Fidgett reviewed a stallion mare and colt exchange with a $200 note, leading to a judgment ordering both sides to return their animals. Justice Tavenner found Racey incapacitated for business, so no party bears loss. Appeals filed by Frank M. Wray for Fidgett.
