= * THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MARCH 1%, 1937 PAGE THREE | The Whitby Daily Times | Emme arene REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H, ORMISTON & ACTION DISMISSED POR PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENT Oshawa Man Claimed He Misunderstood Terms of Property Exchange (By Whitby Staff Writer) Justice Kelly if the Supreme Court at Whitby on Friday after- noon dismissed an action brought by Cecil C. Fulling and his wife, Hilda M. Fulling, of the township of Darlington, against Kindrat (Thomas) Haluska, of Oshawa, for specific performance of an agreement re the exchange of properties, all proper direction for this purpose; damages as a result of the delay caused by the de- fendant, or on the alternative, damages. A. J. Parkhill appeared for the plaintiff and Allin F. An- nis, of Conant & Annis, for the defendant, * The plaintiff, is a farmer In Darlington township, county of Durham, and the defendant: is a laborer living at 225 Grayburn Avenue, Oshawa. The evidence disclosed that plaintiffs entered into an agreement with defendant on October 23rd, 1930, for the exchange of their farm of 652% acres, part of lot 35, concession 6, Darlington, for the property of defendant on Grayburn Avenue, Oshawa. Plaintiffs alleged that they searched the title of defend- ants and found mortgage seriously misrepresented as in difference of exchange; found a pending lien action and considerable arrears of taxes, and in view of this were still willing to go through with the exchange, and before the day for closing obtain moneys through their solicitors sufficient to pay all encumbrances ond then was content to close and wait for a time on the balance of the adjust- ments due by the defendant to the plaintiff on being secured by a mortgage for the amount of the adjustments. Plaintiffs alleged that they were ready to perform the agreement on their part on the 15th of November and through their solicitors tendered the solicl- tors of the defendant a properly executed deed of thelr property, together with all papers in con- nection therewith, but they were notified by telephone and by let- ter by defendants' solicitor that defendant refused to carry out the part of the agreement. As a re sult of this. it was set up by plain- tiffs that they had suffefed much damage, and had therefore in- stituted court proceedings. The defendant, in his defense, get forth that he is a laborer with- out knowledge of English, and un- able to read or write in any langu- age. He claimed that he misunder- stood the terms of the deed and agreement of exchange Which he signed by making his mark, in the presence of witnesses. Rather than take the farm and make The pay- ments which he discovered were to be made by him, and assuming that he was giving his house in the deat for nothing, he refused te perform the terms of the agree- ment, which, he stated, were not fully explained to and understoo by him. Defendant claimed that in Octo- ber, 1930, he was led to believe that he was exchanging his four lots and house, which he valued at $3,000, for a farm in Darling- ton township, owned by plaintiff, the farm being subject only to & mortgage while the purchase price of the farm was $5,000, and, on these representations, he signed by mark a document purporting to he an offer to exchange on the said terms. The offer of exchange was made through by A. C. Ly- cett, Oshawa realtor. Among other things defendant set up that plaintifts were unable on November 15th, to convey the farm, having a government loan of $3,330, with interest at the rate of five ahd a half per cent, 7485 | $115 | $145 | special bargain at 1925 Chev.

In the wintess box defendant, a Ukrainian who has been in Can- ada for 30 years, was ungble to speak good English and had to be helped by Interpreter Igel, He was emphatic that he did not un- derstand the documents which he had signed. Rather than take the farm with its payments which he said, he would be unable to meet and figuring that in the exchange agreement as he understood it after signing, he might better hang himself, he told the court. Justice Kelly in dismissing the action was satisfied that the de- fendant did not understand what he was doing. He felt that the real estate agent should have taken him to a lawyer and had everything fully explained to him before he entered into any agree: ment, ACTION OVER A FARM SALE HEARD IN SUPREME COURT Plaintiff Claimed Trees Were Wrongfully Removed (By Whitby Staff Writer) An interesting action was heard by Justice Kelly without a jury in the Supreme Court at Whitby Thursday was that of Joseph Sim- kin vs. Charles Luke, an action to recover an amount for trees al- leged to have been wrongfully tak en from a farm, also for amounts alleged to be owing on open and general account by defendant to plaintiff. The question of accounts was referred by Justice Kelly to the local Master, His Honor Judge Ruddy, for a report, and His Lord- ship reserved judgment on the main issue between the litigants. A claim for damages for alleged slander, included in the record, was struck out before the action went to trial and was not proceed- ed with. Plaintiff, Joseph Simkin, is 8 farmer in Whitby Township, and the defendant, Charles Luke, a re- tired farmer, living in the same township. Plaintiff bought part of lot 23, in the 9th concession of Whitby Township, from defendant under an agreement dated Novem- ber 3, 1927, and was to take pos- session on or about April 1st, 1928. Plaintiff claimed that sub- sequent to Nov. 23, 1927, and be- fore he took possession im the spring of 1928, the defendant cut down trees on the sald farm and wrongfully removed said trees and removed trees which had blown down since November 3, - 1927. One large elm tree was particular- ly specified. The account claims of the plain- tiff were: Open account, 1265.45, and general account 253.64. These accounts and a counterclaim, were not gone into, but were, as al- ready noted, referred to the local Master. Briefly, the defense was that be- fore the sale or possession of the farm, there was an oral agree- ment that Luke was to have 12 cedar trees and 12 radio poles, the standing trees on sald lands, and in consideration plaintiff was to receive an indefinite quantity of straw, described in the. record as "lots of straw." Defendant denied that there had been any bfeach of agreement of sale, and set up that he had taken from the lands only what he was entitled to. Several witnesses were called, and the evidence was somewhat conflicting. A. J. Parkhill, of Oshawa, ap- peared for plaintiff and Mr. Harris, of Harris & Harris, Port Perry, for the defendant.

GAVE LECTURE ON SIR WALTER SCOTT Professor Dale Was Speaker at University Extension Class on Thursday Eve- ning Professor Dale's lecture on ihursday evening at the University {ixtenslon Class in the Genosha Hotel convinced those who Heard him that Sir Walter Scott holds a place in English literature, second to that of Shakespeare. 'The lecturer dealt first with Scott as a man. From his rather in- timate journal one becomes person: ally acquainted with the great au- thor and cannot but admire him. As is well known, the later years of Scott's life were clouded by the colossal debt which he undertook to pay off. In so doing he hastened his death, but never lost that cheer. ful courage which stamped him as a true hero. Even if all his literary work should be regarded as worth- less, Scott's mighty personality wola remain. s an author Scott {s very mod- est. "I am not fit," he sald 'to un- tie Shapespeare's bootlace." Scott stands unrivalled in his creation and understanding of human char- acter. He sees life as a. great ad- venture; he revels in the joy of struggle. "One crowded hour of glorious life, is worth an age without a name." Scott was at home with everyone, high and low, he accepted the uni- verse as he found it as on the whole good. This gave him sanity and a universal sympathy. Scott has a great fund of practical wisdom, a fine sense of humour and is pre- eminent as a story teller. One of Scott's worst faults was a tendency to listen too much to the advice of others. On the other hand, Scott never indulged in the sentimental love- story, a very popular form of flc- tion in his time. In 'Guy Manner- ing" not a single interview is given between Julia Mannering and Bert- ram, the hero, yet the story ends with their marriage. Scott is generally acknowledges to be one of the greatest historical novelists; yet most of his best nov- els e.g. 'Guy Mannering," "Red Gauntlet," and '"The Antiquary', deal with the 18th century to which his own youth belongs. Strictly speaking, they are not historical ' C. Lambert and W.

The novels which speak of earlier times are for the most part inferior and even "Ivanhoe" and the "Talisman' are famous chiefly because of their romantic appeal to young people. The lecturer showed that the "Bride of Lammermuir" was one of Sir Walter Scott's greatest nov- els; like'one of Shapespeare's great tragedies it moves relentlessly to- wards the final catastrophe. Annus] At Home Held By Pedlar People Ltd. The annual "at home" of the Ped- lar People Limited, of Oshawa, was held at the Genosha Hotel on Wed- nesday evening.

"Thou. sands of McLaughlin-Buick owners, who formerly waited until the pre- sentation of the new line during the summer months to make their pur- chases, took immediate advantage of this announcement to buy new McLaughlin-Buicks now."
