CONTRACTS FOR CARLOADS SEPARABLE.

Previous

Where a contract was made for three carloads of a company’s No. 1 white cedar shingles and the purchaser accepted and paid for two carloads, but refused to accept the third because of alleged inferior grade and quality, and because the shingles were not made by said company, the Supreme Court of Minnesota holds that the contract as to the three carloads was separable, so that the purchaser’s payment and the seller’s acceptance of payment for two carloads did not prevent the seller from beginning an action to recover the purchase price of the third carload nor the purchaser from defending therein. The court also holds that a buyer, seeking to reject an article as not in accordance with the contract of sale, must do nothing after he discovers the true condition inconsistent with the seller’s ownership of the property.—Duluth Log. Co. vs. John C. Hill Co., 124 N. W., 967.

Opinion No. 107.
