He alleged he was entitled to rescission of the Contract to take the shares and rectification of the register, but he did not counterclaim for either rescission or rectification, for the good reason that the County Court Judge had no jurisdiction to deal with it if he had. In the result the learned Judge gave fedgment for the plaintifs, and said: sympathise very much with the defendant. As far as I am concern: ed about misrepresentation. I think in taking the shares the statement as is a particular person is not fulfilled by saying. We put up somebody else who is as good."

It seemed to him, if it were, the judge might give judgment for the defendant on the ground that he was not too late, and that he had proved the frand and the defendant might go away and never take any steps to rectify the register. It was clear here the defen- ship sank. dant was not entitled to rectification.
