Sales, \u00a7 282 \u2014 when evidence warrants finding as to implied warranty. Evidence held to justify a finding of an implied warranty that a sealskin coat purchased by plaintiff from defendant would be reasonably fit for the purposes for which it was bought.\n2. Sales, \u00a7 282* \u2014 when shown that defect in coat could not have leen detected prior to delivery. In an action by the purchaser of a sealskin coat to recover the purchase price paid on account of defects in the dyes used, evidence held to sustain the findings of the trial court that an examination of the coat by plaintiff prior to its delivery to her was not sufficient to have enabled her to discover the defect.\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Wells M. Cook, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 14, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Mrs. Louis A.
