Supreme Court of Iowa March 10, 1887 (Morlan v. Russell & Co.)

Reed, J.

The action was brought for the recovery of damages for an alleged breach of the warranty made by defendant in the sale of a threshing-machine to plaintiff. The district court instructed the jury that, upon the evidence before them, they could not award the plaintiff more than nominal damages. The jury, however, returned a verdict for plaintiff for substantial damages.
