*797Felton, C. J.,
concurring specially. I concur in the judgment of affirmance. However, it seems to me that the allegations of the petition show a great deal more than facts showing a liability for technical “fraud and deceit.” The allegations show a malicious and unjustifiable interference with the plaintiff's right to* make a contract and a scheme of fraud and concealment to conceal the wrong so as to produce injury. The overwhelming weight of authority is to the effect that “The act of maliciously inducing a person not enter into a contract with another, which he would otherwise have entered into, is actionable if damages result.” 30 Am. Jur. 83, § 33; 86 C. J. S. 955, § 43; 99 A. L. R. 12 and subsequent annotations; Braden v. Haas, Howell & Dodd, 56 Ga. App. 342 (192 S. E. 508).
