Mercantile National Bank at Dallas instituted this suit against Henry Teders on a check for $4,750 executed by defendant as purchase price of an Adams motor grader, payable to one Bill Moore and Bank and endorsed by the former to plaintiff. After issuance, payment on said check was stopped. Defendant answered by sworn pleading of general denial, accommodation maker, fraud inducing execution of check, total and partial failure of consideration; also» denying that plaintiff was a holder in *486due course or for value, with additional cross action for damages based on breach of express and implied warranties. Plaintiff responded by general and special denial along with allegations that the only representation made in connection with sale of the motor grader was “Condition — as is, where is”; and further that the damage, if any, was occasioned by inefficient and incompetent operation.
There was a trial to jury with, answers to special issues and motion by defendant for judgment based on the jury verdict, which was overruled. Plaintiff thereafter moved for judgment non obstante verdicto which was sustained and judgment rendered against defendant for $4,750 with credit of $3,429.36, the amount derived from sale of motor grader pending suit by agreement of parties ($4,000 less $570.64, repair bill and brokerage charge); net judgment being a balance of $1,646.82 together with legal interest. From such final order an appeal has been duly taken.
In August 1947, one H. E. Shawver had delivered to Bill Moore at his Equipment Yard, South Lamar Street, Dallas, the Adams Motor grader and dragline, for sale, subject to chattel mortgage of plaintiff. In November the equipment was bought by W. H. Moser, a road contractor, with deal financed by defendant Henry Teders; the present controversy growing out of the negotiations with respect thereto between Moser, Moore, and said Bank.
Defensive allegations pled in bar of plaintiff’s said cause of action are sufficiently reflected by the jury issues and answers, in substance that (1) Bill Moore represented to W. H. Moser that the motor grader was in excellent condition prior to November 3, 1947; that there was nothing wrong with it and that the grader would do all the work required of it in Moser’s contract with Dew Construction Company; (2) that Moser relied on such representation and would not have purchased the machine if these representations had not been made; (3) that such representations were false; (4) Moore represented to W. H. Moser that the grader was reasonably suitable for the purposes for which it* was purchased; (5) said grader was not reasonably suitable for aforesaid purposes; and (6) was defective on date of purchase; (7) reasonable cash market value of grader on date of sale to W. H. Moser (November 3, 1947) was $2,500.
These further facts should be outlined as a background of all transactions between the parties and bearing on the principal contentions of each: According to testimony of W. H. Moser, he saw the grader on the Moore Equipment Yard, needing one for use on road contract job with Dew Construction Company at Woodville. He explained to Moore his particular situation, the latter assuring him that the grader was in excellent shape, had been recently overhauled, and would perform the work desired; that three or four days later the grader and a dragline (about which similar statements were made) were priced to him at $15,000, he telling Moore that if the equipment was as represented he would endeavor to make a deal. Shortly thereafter defendant Teders agreed to finance the purchase on basis of the representations made by Moore to Moser, issuing check for $15,000; and machinery was delivered to Moser about November 3, the latter moving same to the job and putting it in use. Moser further testified that the grader broke down within 'an hour, he coming to Dallas for new parts and paying mechanic for repairs; that on putting the machine in operation it again went out, necessitating additional repairs, and on renewed attempts to operate, would not do the work for which it was bought; detailing various deficiencies of both motor grader and drag-line, consequent upon which payment on the $15,000 check was stopped. Upon being called over phone by Moore about the check, Moser explained the situation with reference to the equipment, Moore finally saying that the matter should be taken up with Landreth, official of plaintiff Bank. Following are excerpts from testimony as to the ensuing telephone conversation between the two:
“Q. What conversation did you have with Mr. Landreth of the Mercantile National Bank with reference to the trans*487action? A. I told 'him the condition of the equipment and agreement, and what happened to the equipment, and I felt like I had been out quite a bit of money and time, and that if I endeavored to keep the equipment, he should make some compensation and mark off some of the original price, so that it would justify me to try to get the equipment in shape.
"Q. What did he say? A. He agreed to deduct $1,000 off of the two pieces of equipment.
“Q. Was any arrangement made as to how much would be knocked off of each piece of equipment? A. No, sir, there wasn’t.
“Q. How was the price of $4750 for the motor grader arrived at? A. I prorated the prices according to the amount.
“Q. You prorated the prices? A. Yes, sir.
“Q. Did Mr. Landreth raise any objection to 3mur doing that at the time? A. He did not.
“Q. Was some new checks issued? A. There were.
“Q. Who were those checks signed by? A. Henry Teders.
“Q. And who were they payable to ? A. Bill Moore and Mercantile National Bank.
“Q. What was the amount of the two checks? A. One was $9,250 and the other was $4,750.
“Q. And the $9,250 check, who was that payable to, you say? A. Bill Moore and Mercantile Bank.
“Q. What was that for ? A. The drag-line.
“Q. For the dragline, was payment stopped on that check? A. It was not.
“Q. After that agreement was arrived at, in that conversation with Mr. Landreth, you paid $9,250, or Mr. Teders issued his check for that amount, and that check, did that clear the bank ? A. It did.
“Q. How long after this check for $4750 for the motor grader was issued before payment was stopped on that? A. I believe it was approximately 8 days or 10. * * * (Cross-Examination)
“Q. All right, and then you started chiseling the price down, didn’t you? A. I don’t know what you call chiseling.
“Q. Well, we will leave that up to the jury, but you did get the price down from $15,000 to $14,000, didn’t you? A. After two weeks’ delay and quite a bit of expense, I deserved the price to be brought down.
“Q. All right, but you got the price down, you can answer that yes or no, you got that price down to $14,000, didn’t you? A. Yes, sir.
“Q. All right, and that was on account of the trouble you had with it? A. Yes, sir.
“Q. And you agreed on a new price for the grader and a new price for the drag-line, didn’t you? A. I agreed on a price for both of them, yes, sir.”
After issuance of said $4,750 check for the grader, according to Moser, it was again put on the job, trouble developing after a few hours, and upon examining motor he determined that a major overhaul was necessary; at which juncture payment was stopped and the machine returned to Moore’s Dallas Yard in “as good condition as when he got it.” This was around December 10. There was other testimony relative to unsatisfactory condition of the grader, both in mechanism and performance. Concerning the bill of sale (also dated November 3), Moser'stated that it was turned over to him some days afterward, .neither he nor Teders having anything to do with its preparation; that its provision “As is, where is, f. o. b. Dallas” was never discussed, the instrument being returned to Moore along with grader; and that no new bill of sale was given after the November 24th reduction in price.
Appellant’s points of appeal in substance charge errors of the trial court in rendition of adverse judgment “where the evidence established and the jury has found” (1) that the purchase of grader for which the $4,750 check was given was induced by fraud; (2) that the consideration for execution of the check sued on had failed in the amount of $2,250 which was more than plaintiff claimed was due after agreed sale of the machine; (3) that there had *488been a breach of express and implied warranties incident to sale of the motor grader to defendant’s damage.
Manifestly, in the foregoing negotiations Moser must be considered the agent of defendant Teders, with Moore and later Landrcth acting for and on behalf of plaintiff Bank; also that the jury issues touching representations by Moore prior to the first transaction of sale on November 3, 1947, have support in the testimony adduced. In this connection it is the position of appellant that in the sale of grader and dragline on November 3, 1947, wherein payment of the check for $15,000 was stopped and the later agreement of November 24 when delivery of the $4,750 check was followed by a like stop order, aforesaid dealings between the parties should be viewed as a single and continuous transaction, permeated from its inception by the fraud of appellee’s representative Moore. This general rule, however, must be adjusted to the facts and circumstances of the particular case; as for instance the acts and conduct of the parties following its discovery. 20 T.J., Fraud and Deceit, sec. 69, p. 106. 'Contrary to the theory of appellant, the sale of grader and dragline on November 3, consummated by delivery on the one hand and payment by check on the other, again became an executory contract on part of Teders and Moser by withdrawal of check; the subsequent negotiations having all tile aspects of a new agreement. In the conversation of November 24, condition of equipment and terms of the earlier agreement were discussed, “and what happened to the equipment”; Moser stating to Bank official Landreth that “if I endeavored to keep the equipment, he should make some compensation and mark off some of the original price so that it would justify me to try to get the equipment in shape.” Appellee’s acquiescence was by simply reducing the purchase price to $14,000, value of motor grader being fixed at $4,750 at instance of Moser; and it was only on this element of the transaction that suit is brought. As pointed out by appellee, the conclusion is inescapable that Moser, in such conversation, made an election between a rescission and an acceptance of the equipment in its then condition in consideration of a reduced price. Clearly applicable to the transaction just narrated is the general rule that “if one induced by misrepresentations or fraud to purchase, or enter into a contract for the purchase of, property, thereafter, with knowledged of the deception, receives from the seller some substantial concession or enters into a new contract in respect of the transaction, he thereby relinquishes all right to recover or recoup damages because of the misrepresentations.” Editor’s Note to Bonded Adjustment Co. v. Anderson (Wash.), 106 A. L.R. 166, 171, citing Thompson v. Pitts, Tex.Civ.App., 2 S.W.2d 899; Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Co. v. Gatzki, Tex.Civ.App., 57 S.W.2d 593, 594. See also 20 T.J., sec. 73, pp. 110, 111. In the case last cited, under facts sufficiently analogous, the Eastland Court held: “There would be no waiver of a right of action for damages for the fraud by a mere affirmance or ratification of the contract, but a new contract capable of enforcement is not only an af-firmance or ratification of the original contract, but at the same time becomes the source and measure of the rights of the parties.”
Appellant’s chief authority in support of his above points, Culver v. Haggard, Tex.Com.App., 270 S.W. 846, 847, and claimed as presenting a fact situation identical to the case at bar, may be readily distinguished upon reading. There the misrepresentations were with respect to a nonexistent permit to prospect for oil and gas, the Commission of Appeals holding in part: “We think that the evidence shows that the act of Haggard in executing the notes to Culver was a continuation of the original transaction, and shows that Haggard was expecting the permit to be issued, and was still willing to be bound by the original contract on condition that Irwin purge himself of fraud by securing the permit that he claimed to own, and that all the facts, as found by the Court of Civil Appeals, do not show an intention on the part of Haggard to waive the fraud practiced on him in the contract with Irwin.”
*489Appellant argues insufficiency of pleading on part of plaintiff to support the judgment rendered, in that the same is obviously predicated on an accord growing out of execution and delivery of the $4,750 check; and in plaintiff’s supplemental petition there is not a “semblance of a plea of accord, novation, waiver, estoppel, ratification, or any of the affirmative matters required to be specially plead by Rule 94 (Texas Rules of Civil Procedure) * * Appellee’s suit was on the new or final agreement (evidenced by the check in suit) which could be maintained, we think, without reference to aforesaid Rule. Again, the fact situation is comparable to that reflected in Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Co. v. Gatzki, supra, where the Court goes on to say: “From the conclusions stated, it results that all the questions presented upon this appeal relative to fraud or warranties, or the manner of submitting issues in reference thereto, are immaterial. It appears upon the face of the record that the issues found by the jury and the judgment of the court in conformity thereto have reference exclusively to a cause of action which the pleadings affirmatively show had been waived, and therefore did not exist.” In above case, the new contract was affirmatively shown by defendant’s pleading, while here the same conclusively appears as a result of defensive testimony.
All points of error are accordingly overruled and judgment of the trial court affirmed.
