In confirmation of which, let it be supposed, that a horse is sold by either gentleman or dealer, known and declared to be _bona fide_ sound at the moment of transfer, and absolutely never to have been otherways; in equity, and in justice, what can the late owner of such horse have to do with his state of futurity? Is not a horse of this description, though _sound_ and _perfect_, as likely to become _diseased_, to fall _lame_, or even to _die_, on that, or the following day, as at any other period of his life? Where then can be found the consistency, the equity, or, indeed, the common honesty, of requiring or expecting any man to warrant for _weeks_, or _months_, what it is not within his power to insure for a _single hour_? The equitable intent of a _warranty_, between persons of mutual good intent and integrity, cannot be reasonably expected to go beyond the hour of _purchase_ and _sale_; for as neither can explore, with certainty, the abstruse pages of the great volume of time yet to come, there cannot be the least plea for a retrospective compensation. See "LAW SUITS," and "SOUNDNESS." WARREN,—the name applied to a privileged place, by prescription or grant from the King, in which to keep beasts or fowls of WARREN. These in ancient records were said to be the _hare_, the _coney_, the _pheasant_, and the _partridge_; but the word now principally applies to any particular district, or tract of land, set aside entirely for, and appropriated to, the breeding and preservation of rabbits as private property. These become a most valuable and profitable stock; paying a much greater annual rent than can be expected from a light and sandy soil, under any other mode of cultivation. There is a distinction between a WARREN and FREE WARREN, (which see.) The franchise next in degree to a park, is a free warren, and appertains chiefly to the privilege of killing game within its boundaries. A warren, in its general signification, extends no farther than a peculiar spot, of much magnitude for the infinitely numerous production of conies, with which the neighbouring inhabitants, and the markets of the Metropolis, are supplied; and these invariably pass under the denomination of rabbit warrens. WARTER—is the name of a horse of much celebrity, whose performances upon the turf rendered him of constantly increasing value, and insured him a succession of different owners. He was bred by Mr. G. Crompton, foaled in 1794; got by _King Fergus_, dam by _Highflyer_. In the York spring meeting, when three years old, he won a sweepstakes of 20 guineas, six subscribers, beating _Dapple_, and _Telegraph_. At Doncaster, in September, he won the following extraordinary race, well worthy a place in the cabinet of every sportsman in the kingdom.
