2. This contract is formed by the consent of the parties, but delivery
is indispensable; for, without it, it mere agreement. Dig. 31, 77, 4; Code,

prescribing. Dig. 41, 3, 4, 17. 2. That the contracting parties are bound to
guaranty to each other the title of the things delivered. Code, 4, 64, 1. 3.
That they are bound to take back the things delivered, when they have latent
defects which they have concealed. Dig. 21, 1, 63. See Aso & Man. Inst. B.
