Description
Mr. William Schley, for the appellant: All knew that Mr. Slaughter wanted a boat to ply on a specified route, drawing, when laden, not more than 3 1/2 feet water. The captain, of course, knew well that the draught much exceeded this, and that the boat would not suit at all. The doctrine of caveat emptor ought not to be applied. Unless the sea was calm–which does not appear–it was impossible to make an accurate measurement of the draught of water. Besides this, the rule of caveat emptor, however potent in actions ex contractu, is, comparatively, of small force in an action based on fraudulent misrepresentations.
