the plaintiffs, several Ontario

.| farmers, must fail in their efforta
to secure ‘‘a return of the pur-
chase price of certain shares. of
stock on the grounds that such
purchase was induced by fraud
and misrepresentation.”? But
Mr. Justice Ives finds that $6,000
advanced by them for which they
atill hold stock for security, was
in reality a loan, and they ret
judgment with interest at seven
per cent since May 16, 1917.
The case was tried Jast month
in the Supreme court and occupied
a whole week, Murray, Moore,
and others, farmers of the Nia.
fara district, sued the Delta
Copper Co,, Tufford, and others.
On the grounds that stock was
misrepresented, two claims for
return of purchase moneys, $1,890
and $1,020, were struck out, as
above stated. The amount of
$2,000, desired returned on the
grounds that it was a loan, was
also refused by the court, it be-
ing clearly shown that plaintiffs
accepted shares for that. ‘
As toaclaim for $1,750 ad-
vanced by plaintiffs it is found
that plaintiffs sold stock to ap-
proximately that amount, which
must offset it to that extent. A
claim for $150, expenses of Mur-
ray and Moore for a trip to the
mines, was dismissed because of
a receipt signed by the Moore,
February 21, 1920. ,
As to the $6,000 claim, Mr.
Justice Ives finds it “was un-
doubtedly a loan. Tufford was
to find $10,000 and pay it to the
Delta Copver that day under
terms of an agreement between
Tufford, Limited, and Delta Cup-
per Co... He induced the plaintiffs
—stampeded them—with a story
of matetial loss'to the company
in which they were shareholders

. The case has been followed
with much interest locally, adds

A Distinguished Career
In reference to death of Charles
Hay, father of Mrs, D. D. Munro,
of Terrace, the Winnipeg Free
Press says: °
Word was received from Van-
couver of the death in that city
of Charles Hay, yne of the early
legislators of Manitoba, and who
for a short term was a member
of the Norquay cabinet of Mani-
toba. The late Mr. Hay repre-
sented the constituency of Nor-

to 1885, and resided in Portage
la Prairie from 1862, when he
arrived in Manitoba from Flatta,
Orkney, Scotland, until about ten

Pacific coast. For many years
the late Mr. Hay was in the mer-

cantile business, a member of
the pioneer firm of Campbell,
Hay & Boddy. He was post-
master ot Portage for many years
and also sat in the council. He
was regarded as a man of wisdom
and common sense, and his de-
bating talent was out. of the
ordinary in a legislature eomposed |
of early settlers, as he had re-
ceived a splendid education back
in Scotland, where his father
was. principal of a school for
45 yeara,
