LAIDLAW V. ORGAN
15 U.S. (2 WHEAT) 178 (1817)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a contract for the sale of tobacco.
FACTS: Organ (P) bought tobacco from Laidlaw (D) and was in possession of the goods when D came and forcefully removed the 111 hogshead of tobacco. P sued and won. D claimed that P tricked him with knowledge of the end of the war of 1812 and took unfair advantage to buy the product when the value had risen 30 to 50 percent. Prior to the sale, D had asked P if there was any news about the value of the product that would enhance it. P said nothing. The jury found for P and D appealed.
