Stephenson, which was bill filed to rot aside O
conveyance by tho defendant to tho complainant
and for othor relief, soms interesting points
wore laid down as to tho law OF fraudulent rep-
resentations in selling property.

to this country from Sweden, bringing about
reached here ho made tho ACQUAINTANCE Of
tho defendant, and, tho latter also being
Swedo,a friendship rapidly followed. stephe,ison
advised Ills countryman to buy farm, aud pro-
posed to sell him ono Of lis own noar tho
astes for so oadR fsasanRs shesn sepu' in o
ing utens!ls and stock. The allegations OF, the
bill IN short were that complainant had been ID
ducod to buy the farm under fraudulent repre-
Rentations that the land was worth $50 an
acre whom It was worth only S12; that the loca-
tion was healthy, when, In fact, the complainant
caught ths ague In two Weoks. and shook with II
all wintor; md, LASTLY that the farm was on tho
bank Of the river when such was not tho case,
to most OF tue allegations, they wore such is .

caveat emptor would naturally apply. Tha COM
