Syllabus

<p>Vendor and Purchaser (60) — Rescission by Vendee — False Representations — Materiality—Evidence—Sufficiency. A representation to a purchaser of land that there was an old school house upon it, worth four hundred to five hundred dollars, is not such a representation as to a material fact as to constitute an inducement to the contract which the purchaser could rely upon and be entitled to a rescission for fraud.</p> <p>Same (64) — Rescission by Vendee — Estoppel or Waiver. A purchaser of land cannot rescind a contract for false representations as to an old school house thereon, where, after learning that it was not on the land, he indicated his satisfaction with the agreement by offering to complete the contract.</p>
