   An example of the talmudic reasoning in this regard is the case where the defendant sold an ox to the claimant, and the ox was found to be a gorer. The claimant now wants his money back on the ground that his purchase was a “mistaken transaction”. Most people, it can be allowed, acquire an ox for purposes of ploughing, and a gorer is not satisfactory for that purpose.
