Fritts v. Reidel
Fritts v. Reidel
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The action was one to recover on a redelivery bond given in an attachment proceeding. Plaintiff was defeated, and appeals.
The plaintiff in this action was plaintiff in the attachment suit,
The jury returned special findings of fact fully establishing the defense of fraud. It is argued the attorney merely gave his opinion respecting legal consequences of signing the bond. Before the bond was written, and as an inducement to its execution, the attorney stated what its nature and effect would be. Having done that, he was bound to prepare a bond of that nature and effect, and his representations were the equivalent of representations relating to the contents of a written instrument. An objection to the form of the interrogatories propounded to the jury is not well taken.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
