Rowell v Pratt The appellant brought an action against the respondent to recover the price of certain potatoes sold and delivered to the respondent. The respondent counterclaimed damages, on the ground that the appellant had agreed to grow 9½ acres of royal kidney potatoes, and to deliver the whole crop to the respondent at a fixed price, but that, in breach of his contract, the appellant had not delivered to the respondent the whole product of the 9½ acres, but had wrongfully sold part thereof to other buyers, at a price higher than that at which he had contracted to sell to the respondent.
