Eastern States Farmers' Exchange, Incorporated v. Russell M. Peckham, D/B/A Orchard Hill Farm

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided June 15, 1956No. 5088_1PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Per curiam

An action for damages was brought by a buyer of grain against the seller for breach of warranty resulting in the deaths of the buyer’s dairy cows due to poisoning. The only question presented is a factual one — whether the district judge was “clearly erroneous’'’ in finding that fourteen of appellees’ cows were poisoned and died as a result of eating grain bought from appellant containing some unwholesome or deleterious matter. The opinion of the district court contains a fuller statement of the facts. 134 F.Supp. 950. We find no error.

The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
