Hemmer v. Cooper
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided January 15, 1864 · Chapman
90 Mass. 334

Hemmer v. Cooper

Opinion of the Court

Chapman, J.

The representations of a vendor of real estate, to the vendee, as to the price which he paid for it, are to be regarded in the same light as representations respecting its value. A purchaser ought not to rely upon them ; for it is settled that, even when they are false and uttered with a view to deceive, they furnish no ground of action. Medbury v. Watson, 6 Met. 246, and cases there cited. Exceptions overruled.
