Page 565 - Thirdly, where a known described and defined article is ordered of a manufacturer, although it is stated to be required by the purchaser for a particular purpose, still if the known, described, and defined thing be actually supplied, there is no warranty that it shall answer the particular purpose intended by the buyer.
Page 589 - That no contract for the sale of any goods, wares, and merchandise, for the price of ten pounds sterling or upwards, shall be allowed to be good, except the buyer shall accept part of the goods so sold, and actually receive the same, or give something in earnest to bind the bargain, or in part...
Page 616 - Such notice may be given either to the person in actual possession of the goods or to his principal.

Page 632 - Where a party desires to rescind upon the ground of mistake or fraud he must, upon the discovery of the facts, at once announce his purpose, and adhere to It. If he be silent, and continue to treat the property as his own. he will be held to have waived the objection, and will be conclusively bound by the contract, as If the mistake or fraud had not occurred. He Is not permitted to play fast and loose. Delay and vacillation are fatal to the right which had before subsisted.
Page 635 - Every contract made for or about any matter or thing which is prohibited and made unlawful by any statute is a void contract, though the statute itself does not mention that it shall be so, but only inflicts a penalty on the offender, because a penalty implies a prohibition, though there are no prohibitory words in the statute.

Page 590 - ... be actually made, procured, or provided, or fit or ready for delivery, or some act may be requisite for the making or completing thereof, or rendering the same fit for delivery...
Page 712 - Produce boats, fishing boats, rafts, or other water craft navigating by hand power or by the current of the river, or anchored or moored in or near the channel or fairway and not in any port, and not otherwise provided for in these rules, shall sound a fog horn, or equivalent signal at intervals of not more than one minute.
Page 231 - It is not sufficient that he may sustain no injury by a change in the contract, or that it may even be for his benefit. He has a right to stand upon the very terms of his contract; and if he does not assent to any variation of it, and a variation is made, it is fatal.
