Mr. Presiding Justice Shepard

delivered the opinion pp the Court.

The appellants were .dealers in safes, and sold to the appellee a second-hand bürglar-proof safe. At the time of making the sale the appellants delivered to appellee what purported to be, and what they represented as being, correct written instructions for locking and unlocking the safe, which, however, were in fact incomplete in the omission of an instruction or direction which was essential to securely lock the safe against any experienced safe opener, although without it the safe would be apparently securely locked.
