Syllabus

<p>Fraud — Misrepresentations — Measure oe Damages •— Instructions. The measure of damages for false representations as to the strength of the walls of a building sold to plaintiff, is the difference between what the building was actually worth at the time of the sale, and what it would have been worth if as represented; and it is error to instruct that the measure is the sum which it would have been necessary to expend to make the walls as represented.</p> <p>Appeal — Preservation oe Grounds — Objections to Evidence. An objection that the evidence of certain damages was incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial is sufficient to raise the point that the same was not the true measure of 'damages; especially where such measure was not subsequently acquiesced in.</p>
