Mr. Francis moved for a dare absolute of foreclosure against the second mortgagees of certain property, of which the plaintiffs were first mortgagees. He taformed the Court

The Lord Chief Justice gave judgmeit for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The defendants moved for fadgment or a new trial. They contended that, when the allotment was coupleted, the office of the propectus was exhausted, and that the plaintiff being only a purchaser of shares in the market could not rely upon false statements contained in the prospectus to sim in consequence of his purchase. Upon claim an indemnity for losses suffered by this point they cited Peck v. Garney (L. Rep. 6 H. of L 377, at p. 470). They also contended that, assuming find on their put, the damiges were too remote, and upon this point they cited Rex v. The Berenger (3 M. & S. 67), Pesk ♥, Warner
