Bishop v. Harvey

3 N.J.L. 644

Opinion

By the Court.

— The facts set forth in the plaintiff’s state of demand, are found true by the verdict; but these facts disclose a fraudulent combination between two public officers, under color of legal authority, to cheat a third person, the landlord, out of his money; from such a fraudulent

contract no action can arise; that even if the contract was lawful, the breach assigned is too loose to sustain a judgment.

Judgment reversed.
