known firm of local solicitors at a remun-
cration of something like $80 per month. Truly, Mr.' DORANJEE's representatives must have possessed unlimited confidence in the stability of these two enterprising young, gentlemen, when they believed, or maile believe, that there was the remotest
chance of their being able by legitimate means to raise a sufficient sum of money to enable them to complete the contract for the purchase of the property. As a matter of fact, the purchasers could not raise the money, the property bubble having quickly exploded; but they actually did deposit the sum of $5.000-which, necessity having no law, they were doubtless willing to forfeit for non-fulfilment of contract.
