tort .
A fraudulent .
misrepresentation or contrivance ,
by which one man deceives another ,
who has no means of detecting the fraud ,
to the injury and damage of the latter .
2 .
Fraud ,
or the intention to deceive ,
is the very essence of this injury ,
for if the party misrepresenting was himself mistaken ,
no blame can attach to him .
The representation must be made malo animo ,
but whether or not the party is himself to gain by it ,
is wholly immaterial .
3 .
Deceit may not only be by asserting a falsehood deliberately to the injury of another as ,
that Paul is in flourishing circumstances ,
whereas he is in truth insolvent ;
that Peter is an honest man ,
when he knew him to be a ,
rogue ;
that property ,
real or personal ,
possesses certain qualities ,
or belongs to the vendor ,
whereas he knew these things to be false ;
but by any act or demeanor which would naturally impress the mind of a careful man with a mistaken belief .
4 .
Therefore ,
if one whose manufactures are of a superior quality ,
distinguishes them by a particular mark ,
which facts are known to Peter ,
and Paul counterfeits this work ,
and affixes them to articles of the same description ,
but not made by such person ,
and sells them to Peter as goods of such manufacture ,
this is a deceit .
5 .
Again ,
the vendor having a knowledge of a defect in a commodity which cannot be obvious to the buyer ,
does not disclose it ,
or ,
if apparent ,
uses an artifice and conceals it ,
he has been guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation for there is an implied condition in every contract that the parties to it act upon equal terms ,
and the seller is presumed to have assured or represented to the vendee that he is not aware of any secret deficiencies by which the commodity is impaired ,
and that he has no advantage which himself does not possess .
6 .
But in all these cases the party injured must have no means of detecting the fraud ,
for if he has such means his ignorance will not avail him in that case he becomes the willing dupe of the other '
s artifice ,
and volenti non fit injuria .
For example ,
if a horse is sold wanting an eye ,
and the defect is visible to a common observer ,
the purchaser cannot be said to be deceived ,
for by inspection he might discover it ,
but if the blindness is only discoverable by one experienced in such diseases ,
and the vendee is an inexperienced person ,
it is a deceit ,
provided the seller knew of the defect .
7 .
The remedy for a deceit ,
unless the right of action has been suspended or discharged ,
is by an action of trespass on the case .
The old writ of deceit was brought for acknowledging a fine ,
or the like ,
in another name ,
and this being a perversion of law to an evil purpose ,
and a high contempt ,
the act was laid contra pacem ,
and a fine imposed upon the offender .
