Suit over misrepresented life policy and note

A man named Carter filed an answer to a suit by F. T. Lask to recover 31 16 on a promissory note. Lask acted as a general agent for Mutual Benefit Life Insurance, Newark. Carey, an agent for Lask, urged Carter to switch to a new policy with Carey’s company. Carter held a $10,000 National Life Insurance policy and says he could not afford more. Carey allegedly showed defects in the policy and said Carter was deceived about benefits. Carter let the old policy lapse, paid a note for the first semiannual premium, and later replaced policies. He now claims the value was not given for the note and seeks damages for deceit as a setoff.
