Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 49: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, From the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility; 1837-1840
Our general rule is not to abridge any part of judgments, but it seemed allowable and indeed necessary to depart from it in the bulky case of Attwood v. Small, p. 115, to the extent of omitting the minute comments on the evidence made by the several noble Lords Who took part in the decision. Every one at all acquainted With the subject is aware that the law of fraud and misrepresentation has made great advances since 1836, and that Attwood v. Small is now a very imperfect guide: still it remains authoritative for Whatever it actually decided in point of law. The best criticism of its somewhat uncertain utterances is to be found in the judgment of J easel, M. R, in Redgrave v. Hard, 20 Oh. Div. 1.
