1. ““The gist of the plaintiffs’ cause of action, as stated in the declaration, is that defendant purchased the plaintiffs’ goods, with the intent on his part, at the time of the purchase, not to pay for them, in pursuance of a general scheme to buy fruit and defraud the vendors out of their pay. The evidence tended to support the cause of action, and it was error to direct a verdict for defendant. Fruit Despatch Co. v. Russo, 125 Mich. 306 [ 84 N. W. 308 ]; Ross v.
