Syllabus

<p>Vendor and Purchaser — Contract — Rescission by Vendee— Fraud — Width of Street. A contract may be rescinded by the vendee where the lot had no means of access except a street, represented by the vendors to be twenty-five feet wide, when in fact it was only fifteen feet, a fact materially affecting its value, and as to which the vendee had no means of readily ascertaining the truth.</p> <p>Same — Rescission by Vendee — While in Default. A contract for the sale of land may be rescinded by the vendee for fraudulent representations, if he acts promptly, although he is in default in a payment, where the vendors had not elected to declare a forfeiture or terminated the contract for such default.</p>
