..vv wfu [ township, and defendant, John T. Thompson, a real estate agent of Orillia. ` In March, 1913, plaintiff claims that defendant, by fraud and misrepresentation, induced Stone to enter into an agreement for the purchase of certain lots in Edmon-, ton.` Plaintiff asks that. the agree- ment be set aside, also asks for the costs of the action. It is under- stood that this action will decide the question of several -similar suits that are pending. McWaters- vs. Mc_Waters-This [action has arisen out of a family troubles. Agnes McWaters, the plaintiff, was married to George -McWaters, of the township of Me- donte, in February, 1914. Plain- ltiif claims that shortly after their marriage the husband exhibited bad temper and was so disagreeable that she nally left him. Since her mar- riage she claims that McWa_ters had only taken her to church five times, and as the church is two miles away, ;, she was unable to walk the dis- tance; he also refused to take her to socials, etc., and only two funerals had he _taken her to during their married life. ` Last winter defendant stopped plaintiff trading the butter and eggs at the store at Waverley. During their married life Mrs. Mc- !Waters received but $13.00, and this was demanded to be returned, lshe gave back .$1.50.~ -At Easter, 1915, she `left him and went_ to, her daughters and :after a -few,_day_s, =thi.nking he might have repented, went back, to , be , met with further abuse.
