Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Justice Roberts:
Although I am in complete accord with Mr. Justice Musmanno’s dissenting opinion, I desire to underscore the very persuasive fact that Mrs. Harrison “purchased” a $27,000 mortgage for a mere $13,750. Since we are concerned here with whether Mrs. Harrison had actual knowledge of Kantor’s agreement to repair, what better evidence is there of such knowledge than the “curious” near identity between her discount and the estimated cost of this repair, $15,000. There can be little doubt that Mrs. Harrison would not lend more money on a building than she knew it to be worth. Nor can there be any doubt that this Court ought not to give her a windfall of over $13,000.
