Mr Ross from Launceston, arranged for nine horses at Coulson's, and one horse at Bryan's Bay to be loaded on board the LOWESTOFFE (owner Mr Griffiths) to be conveyed to South Australia.
The vessel sailed, and when she had been absent about a day encountered considerable stress of weather. Two days after she returned to George Town (Tasmania) at which time seven horses were dead and three were landed in a melancholy condition. The damages sought to be recovered were for the seven which died and the deterioration of the three which survived.
Mr Ross (the plaintiff) sued Mr Griffiths (the defendant) to recover £800 (the value of the horses). The declaration set forth that while the horses were in the charge of Mr Griffiths, the horses sustained the damage set forth, through negligence, neglect, and bad stowage.
