“Bill in equity for a fraudulent misrepresentation in the sale of a farm, as to the quantity of land. The cause was argued by Randolph for the plaintiff, and by Hunter and Robbins for the defendant, at the last term; and the opinion of the Court was now delivered, as follows . . . This cause was argued at the close of the last November Term of this Court, and derives some of its interest and importance from the character of the parties, who are both clergymen, and the nature of the bill, which contains charges of fraud and misrepresentation. On the 21st of June, 180J, the parties entered into a written contract, whereby the defendant sold to the plaintiff a farm situate in Swansey, and agreed to execute a deed for the same in six weeks from that date.”
