Hitchcock v. Baughan

This is an action on a promissory note, dated on the twentieth day of July, 1883, for $100, with interest at the rate of ten per cent, per annum. The note represented the balance of the purchase money of a farm, sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. The execution of the note was admitted, and the defendant set up in his answer a counterclaim for damages to the amount of $500, growing out of alleged misrepresentations by the plaintiff touching the location of the improvements and the boundaries of the land.
