But  the  false  statement  of  one,  not  a
party  to  the  aareement  entered  into  on
the  faith  of  it,  is  not  a  ground  for  avoid-
ing it     Ibid,

6.  Misrepresentations  may  be  either  by  a
sappreasion  of  the  truth  or  an  assertion
of  what  is  false ;  but  to  be  the  ground
for  svoiding  the  contract,  the  representa-
tion must  be  one  '*  dang  locum  coiitnutuit"
or  such  that  it  is  reasonable  to  infer,  that
in  ita  absence  the  party  deceived  would
not  have  entered  into  the  contract.    Ibid,

7.  A  father  represented  to  the  intended
husband  of  his  daughter,  that,  on  the
death  of  himself  snd  his  wife,  the  dsugh-
ter  would  have  10,000/.  at  the  very  least;
that  he  had  made  no  eldest  son,  and  that
all  his  children  should  share  equally;
and  the  intended  husband  at  the  time
made  a  memorandum  in  writing  of  the
representation.  Heads  of  mamage  ar-
ticles were  prepared  by  or  by  the  direc-
tion of  the  father  providing,  among  other
things,  that  he  should  covenant  that  the
daughter  would,  at  the  death  of  himself


and  his  wife,  be  entitled  to  10,000/.  and
upwards.  The  settlement  made  in  pur-
suance of  these  instructions  did  not  con-
tain any  such  covenant,  but  there  was  a
recital  that  the  daughter  would  be  enti-
tied  to  the  10,000/.,  snd  the  father  was  a
party  to  the  deed.  The  share  coming  to
the  daughter  under  her  father  and  mo-
ther's marriage  settlement  fell  short  of
10,000/.,  and  no  addition  was  made  to  it
by  the  father  in  his  lifetime  or  by  will.
Held,  that  the  representation  made  by
the  father  must  be  made  good  by  him,
and  that  his  estate  must  make  up  the  de-
ficiency.    Bold  V.  Hutehintom.
