Syllabus

<p>In order to recover for injuries caused by false representations, through, which' plaintiff was induced to perform an act and was injured thereby, it is necessary to establish the making of. the false representations by defendant; that he knew them to be false and uttered .them with intent to deceive plaintiff and to induce him' to act upon them; and that plaintiff relied upon them and acted, and suffered injury thereby. . . ' ’</p> <p>When, after giving a party the benefit of every inference that can fairly be drawn from all the evidence, it is insufficient to authorize a verdict in his favor, it is proper for the court to give the jury a peremptory instruction ' for the other party.</p>
