He WINS
CASE FOR
DECEIT.
Court Refuses. 10 Set ASIDE
the Verdict Awarded Charbon-
nsI Against SsabuTy.

The appellate division OF the rnprame
court has denied tho petition OF the de-
fendant for a new trial IN the care Of
Ernest A. Charbonnel vs.. Frederick ~.
seabury. This was a suit brought by
plaintiff 20 recover damages Tor false
representations.
Dr. Charbonnel charged that ne Was
induced by Dr. seabury TO take one
nth interest in the latlers business as,
a dentist for term OF five years. The
business was represented as worth at
least $50 900 a year and Dr. csrbonnel was
TO pay Dr, Seabury $1,000 and work in his
office. Or. Carbonnel after working six
months found Dr. Seaburys business
amounted to only 5000 a year and that
defendant was elected from the house.
which he represented as his own.
The jury found for the plamtin i'm the
sum OF SS67 and the defendant asks for
a new trial
Chief Justice Stiness writes the opinion
oi the court. and In the same says. The
defendant relies upon the point that II
the plaintiff knew OF the falsity OF the
statements before he had fully consuna-
mated the contract by final payments he
ls estopped by continuing TO carry out
FOR setting ID the falsity i'm an action
OF deceit. The facts which the defendant
claims that the plaintiff knew were the
reports OF Dunn's and Bradstreet's agen-
cies that the defendant had failed In busi-
ness and that they did not know how a
bill could be collected from him.
but these are not the facts set UP
as the basis OF action. The defendant
may have failed and have had no known
property available to creditors and still
be doing business, as u is claimed that
he represented he was doing, or $4,000 a
year. The defendants assumption is that
one state Of facts Is equivalent to tho
other We do not see that II Is So
Indeed the defendant himself brings
this out i'm his testimony of what he says
the plaintiff told him, viz, That. OF
course. although | had no property, my
business was all right: had good busi-
ness and the best or connections and all
that w edo not think the verdict is
against the evidence on this point.
THE objection that the plaintif worked
under the contract for a period Of six
months is also unsound He was bound
TO work long enough TO find out whethor
the statements were true. III he had
stopped at once he would have met with
the object ton that he could not know
that the business did not produce what IL
pra,.ai2aa-. = LrhlIa is no reason for
q new trial on this account"
Testimony as 10 the defendants 8 income
