SYLLABUS:
/. Ordinarily, one who buys pro-
perty has a right implicitly to rely
upon representations of the seller;
and, if they were false and made
with intent to deceive the purchaser,
the seller will not be allowed to urge
that the buyer, by investigation,
could have discovered their falsity.

to purchase property by means of
certain false and fraudulent represen-
tations by the seller, on discovery of
the fraud, has the option of rescind-
ing or affirming the transaction.
