Hope v. Shirley
Court of Appeals of Texas
Appeal from Wichita County Court; Harvey Harris, Judge. Suit by B. F. Shirley against Alex W. Hope and others. From judgment for plaintiff, defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtBoyce, J.
Appellee, as plaintiff, brought this suit, alleging that he was induced to sell land owned by him at $32.50 per acre, under the false assumption and belief, caused by the fraud of appellants, that there would be no broker’s commission on the sale, and sought to recover of appellants the commissions which he was subsequently forced to pay. On a former appeal the Court of Civil Appeals for the Second District reversed a judgment in appellee’s favor, on the ground that the petition did not show that plaintiff had sustained any damages from the fraud practiced on him.
