was mande to de- when fendant on June settlement day, he refused to accept shares other than those bearing script No. 180.

Continuing, Mr. D'Almada sub- mitted that at the time of the con-

did not tract defendant

care what script number he was to get, and that he was now insisting on his alleged legal rights because he knew the shares had fallen in value. He was well aware that when the script was supplied the number had already been allotted to Mr. Philippens, and If he were acting on the most laud- able motive of stopping short selling, he should have at once notilled the Sharebrokers' Association or plaintif that the contract had not been ful- Alled.

TRIED TO GET SCRIPT "I suggest," said Counsel," he was market watching which way the would swing, and was playing the Home of 'hend I win tall you lose.' As soon as the mistake was reallsed,

by made

both every effort was plaintiff and Messrs. Ellis and Edgar to get this particular script from Mr. Philippens who, however, declined to do so."

Mr. D'Almada then went on to say that his submissions were that all fully-pald shares were of equal value and carried with them equal rights, whether they bore that particular script number or nat. Defendant never stipulated a a specfic number, and therefore the contract was ful- Alled when delivery was made. The contract was for the sale of shares and not the script number therefore the latter was immaterial so long the buyer got what he contracted for.

Referring to the Shorebrokers' rule requiring the script number to bo supplied, Council contended it was a domestle one, and the Association would not interfere. Neither by the principles nor by the rules of the contract was defendant entitled to repudiate the transaction, which was fulfilled by the tendering to him of the shares, seript number immaterial- PROTECTIVE MEASURE

For the defence, Mr. Macnamara said his client was insisting on his legal rights not because the value of the shares had failen. The rule in relation to script numbers, he sub- mitted, was not of domestle concern because its object was to protect the public from short selling and specule- tion. Under the circumstances, the rule formed an integral part of the contract, and defendant was

there- fore

entitled to insist on shares bear- ing the script number in question.

It did not matter, continued Coun- sel, whether there was any reason for Inserting a particular script number In the contract so long as it was a condition, which must be carried out. Whether the shares were of value or not made no difference and anme the was entirely irrelevant, and even if they were it was not amclent bo- cause they were not contracted for, The contract was provisional until the script number was supplied, and that being so, it formed part of the contract.

After Mr. D'Almada had pointed out the absence of stipulation of any particular script mumber, His Lord- ship gave judgment as stated,
