Karthaus v. Owings
4 H&J 263 (1817)
Plaintiff charged fraud against defendant in association with a shipment. On review, the court reversed the judgment in plaintiff's favor. In reaching its conclusion, the court held that an alteration in an agreement regarding cargo on a ship was made to allow defendant to enter the inward cargo because the other claimant to the such cargo had become insolvent and absconded. The court held that the agreement was not entered to fraudulently.
