1ConcurrenceDeemer, J.
(specially concurring) — While agreeing to a reversal of the case, I dissent from the ground thereof, and from the legal conclusion announced in the opinion. I especially dissent from the finding that there was not sufficient evidence of fraud and false representations to take the case to a jury. I disagree with the conclusion that, even if there be fraud and actionable misrepresentations, no recovery can be had, because of payments which should be credited to the account, and especially disagree with the rule of ■ damages announced in this tort action for deceit.
