AN APPEAL PRÓBÁBLE.
JUDOMENT.
His Lordship said: In this action plaintiff sues for the return to him of two yearly premiums paid upon a contract of insurance on his child's life into which he says that he was induced to enter by the misrepresentation of an agent of the defendant Company
In this maner, for four months more or less the China Mutual were the legal owners of half a million Tadla worth of Rubber shares. Counsel for defendant Company referred me to O'Shea v. China Mutual tried in March and April, 1912, but that seems to have been a caso of loan under the security of an equitable nortgage of shares where the mortgages transferred the shares into his own name before he was entitled to foreclose here the China Mutual bad paid cash for the shares, there were no rights equitable or

other to those particular shares outstand- Plaintiff was represented by Mr. H. Ong, as any other 300 Angle-Java shares Brushfield and Mr. J. C. E. Douglas, would meet the forward sale contract; and while Mr. E. 9. Moberly Bell represented the China Mutual were free to complete the defendants
the transfers and get the shares registered in their own name whenever they chose.
(1)-When Mr. Wattie mado this statement in May, 1911, the China Mutual owned Tacks 750,000 worth of shares in a Finance Company fonted by Wattie & Co. called the Cathay Trust. Again this statement may be held trus, if one looks to the meaning of the name Trust merely, and allows that to stop The material facts are as follows: the raising of the question of fact: Early in 1912 son was born to plaintiff, casuist might enjoy that-it's the old and defendait Company's agent, C. W belief that the nature of a thing may be Lindsay, with whom plaintiff. was discovered from its name, but I under- privately acquainted, suggested to him stand the plaintiff to be loss a casuist that he should insure the child's life in than a plain man who wants his money. the defendant Company. At their fires That being so, we must enquire not what interview on the subject about the begin the Cathay Trust called itself, but what ning of March, 1812, plaintiff nave he told it actually was the intention with which Lindsay that he did not like the China it was founded. If its Prospectus in Mutual because I had heard rumour audied (Exh. 17) in the light of the fact that it was heavily involved in rubber that the Company came out in April,

Lindsay said this was not height, it is clear that the financing of true and that the Company's money was rubber companies was its immediate invested in real catate. Further, he object. The Prospectus says: "It will referred plaintiff to a speech made by be the object of the Company, where it Mr Wattin on 31st May, 1911, containing is considered advisable, to underwrite the statement "In view of the sensa and to take up in part or whole any tional drop in the value of rubber shares issues of shares by any new Rubber Com and rumours to the effect that this Company or the shares of any Company pany is largely interested, I take this already in existence."

His doubts were because the misrepresentation in question net again aroused until May 1913, when here was made by Lindsay to plaintiff the evidence in the case of R. V.
