Summary
McLean sold Fulford a slave, warranted sound, in 1857. The purchase was paid for in two notes; this suit was instituted on the second note reaching maturity in March 1858. The defendant claimed that the slave was imbecile and unsound of mind and that the plaintiff had concealed this from him. The Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision, ruling that the slave's mental weakness was widely known before the transaction and that Fulford's redhibitory action, since it was instituted after he had paid the first note, had the appearance of being an afterthought. Judgment affirmed.
