In an action for a breach of warranty on the sale of goods which the buyer has sold again.
Held: The proper measure of damages was the difference between the real market value at the time of the sale and the contract price. Quaere, whether the buyer might not have been entitled to recover a sum fairly and reasonably paid by him as compensation to a third person to whom he had upon the faith of the defendant’s warranty sold a portion of the goods?
