    Michael Manning v. William S. Humphreys.
    Where various articles are sold at separate prices, and paid for, the purchaser, upon discovering, after their delivery, that one does not agree with the contract of sale, may return it and recover the price thereof, without also returning the other articles.
    The plaintiff in this action, according to the testimony adduced by him on the trial, purchased, at the defendant’s store, various articles of cabinet furniture, each for a specified price, which was paid. The whole having been delivered, the plaintiff, upon discovering that one article varied from that agreed upon at the sale, returned it to the defendant and brought this suit to compel him to refund the amount paid for the article in question.
    The Second District Court gave judgment for the plaintiff, from which the defendant appealed.
    
      
      Henry A. Griswold, for the defendant.
    
      Nathan A. Ohedsey, for the plaintiff.
   By the Court. Ingraham, First J.

The justice rejected the defendant’s testimony and gave credit to that of the plaintiff. As it was contradictory, he had a right to decide on the relative credibility of the witnesses.

The plaintiff’s testimony showed a state of facts which justified the judgment rendered.

The only point necessary to notice is the second in the notice of appeal, that the sale was entire and the plaintiff could not retain part and return the other. This would be so if the articles were sold in one lot; but where different articles are sold at distinct prices, and one of them is not according to the contract, it is not necessary to return the other articles, although purchased at the same time. The purchaser may return the defective article and recover the price paid therefor.

We see no reason for interfering with the judgment.

Judgment affirmed.
