New houses were advertised for sale. Pictures of the house were available, with some disclaimers as to minor variations, but the houses actually built had greater deviation. The builder claimed the statements were not descriptions of existing properties, but they knew they could not build the houses as described.
Held: The case was remitted to the magistrates with a direction to convict.
