Phelps Dodge and Palmer Co. a cor-
poration plaintiffs in error vs.
0. D. Hnlsell and W. A. Frailer
Grocery company defendants In
error.
Syllabus.
1. The form and not the common
law causes of action is abolished !
tho statute. Every cause of action
that oxUts under the common law
forms which has not been expressly
abolished still exists undor the name
of a "civic notion." The statute did
not abolish common Inw causes of
action hut only abolished their forms
and grouped them undor one head. A
plaintiff under tho statute must al-
lege and provo ovory fact that ho was
required to nlloge and provo at com-
mon law.
2 Action of Trovor. When de
mand Is necessary and when to be
mado. Where a party 1b lawfully In
the possession of personal property
beforo an action can be maintained
against him for convorslon a demand
for the return thereof must be made
and such demand must be made while
such party Is in possession of usch
property unless It appears that the
party has disposed of the same before
a demand could reasonably have been
made or that the paity disposed of
the same to evade demand.
3. Contract of sale rescinded on the
grounds of fraud. Party rescinded
must not be guilty of laches. Where
a party seeks to rescind the sale of
property on the grounds of fraud he
must exercise reasonable care to dis-
cover such fraud and must rescind
such sale within n reasonable time
after such discovery In order to effect
tho right of Innocent purchasers or
Intervening creditors who hnvo not
had notlco of such fraud. Whoro
goods nro purchased fraudulontly and
tho party who purchasos them Is al-
lowod to rotaln tho open and notori-
ous possession thereof for a long
porlod of time and prior to any at-
tempt to rescind the sale has dis-
posed of the same In payment of a
pre-existing debt without notice of
snld fraud on the part of the party
taking said goods In payment of such
pre-existing debt the law will pre-
sume that the original seller has
waived the fraud and such seller can-
not rescind such sals so as to preju-
dice the rights of such intervening
creditor.
