SYLLABUS
1. CONTRACTS; DAMAGES FOR BREACH; LIABILITY OF THIRD PARTY.
— Whatever may be the character of the liability, if any, which a stranger to a contract may incur by advising or assisting one of the parties to evade performance, he cannot become more extensively liable in damages for the nonperformance of the contract than the party in whose behalf he intermeddles. 2. ID.; ID.; MEASURE OF DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT. — The damages recoverable upon breach of contract are, primarily, the ordinary, natural and in a sense the necessary damage resulting from the breach. Other damages, known as special damages, are recoverable where it appears that the particular conditions which made such damages a probable consequence of the breach were known to the delinquent party at the time the contract was made. This proposition must be understood with the qualification that, if the damages are in the legal sense remote or speculative, knowledge of the special conditions which render such damages possible will not make them recoverable. Special damages of this character cannot be recovered unless made the subject of special stipulation. 3. ID; ID.; ID.; DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT FOR SALE OF LAND. — The damages ordinarily recoverable against a vendor for failure to deliver land which he has contracted to deliver is the value of the use and occupation of the land for the tune during which it is wrongfully withheld.
