The great conflict in the case was as to the meaning of the words "Wedgwood Seconds in Pearl White and C. C." A question was raised and discussed in the Supreme Court as to whether the sale was a sale by sample, and, on that point, whether certain evidence given was admissible to show that by the usage of trade it is an implied term upon such sales of crockery-ware that the sale is a sale by sample. In my opinion the sale now in question was not a sale by sample, properly so called, but a sale of goods by description. The words used to describe the things agreed to be sold are unintelligible to an ordinary person with a mere ordinary knowledge of the English language, and in my opinion the evidence of the exhibition of the specimens was admissible, not to identify samples by which a sale by sample was made, but to show the kind of thing denoted by the words of description used by the parties. One of the plaintiffs, W. Sharp, says that what he understood by them was goods of the kind shown to him by the traveller. The traveller was not called as a witness. The defendants alleged that the term "Wedgwood Seconds" means in the trade crockery-ware made by the firm of Josiah Wedgwood & Son, and does not include crockery made by another firm called Wedgwood & Co. Ltd., and evidence was given in support of that contention. This evidence was of a singular character. It was to the effect that a person buying a crate of "Wedgwood Seconds" buys a crate containing a miscellaneous collection of all sorts of articles of crockery cast aside at the kiln as of inferior character, and mixed up together promiscuously, so that he does not know what articles or how many of each he is to get - that, in fact, he buys what the defendants' manager called "a pig in a poke."
