Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court May 22, 1896 (Latham v. Aldrich)

Holmes, J.

This is an action for deceit in representing that a house stood on a lot numbered 56 on a plan, whereas the house was on the next lot, 55. On cross-examination the plaintiff admitted that he had bought 55, and was compelled- to tell the price he paid, which is the matter excepted to.
