DEED OF ANNUITY CANCELLED.
(I>RZSS ASSOCIATIOH TF.UWIUH.) BLENHEIM, January 20. That the deed of annuity should be cancelled, is the decision conveyed in the reserved judgment of his Honour Mr Justice Sim in the case of Emma Murray, Spring Creek (widow of the late William Murray v. George Henry Eugene Hilte (Blenheim), which was heard in the Supreme Court at Blenheim on December 14th and 15th. The judgment was read by the registrar Mrs Murary prayed for an order setting aside and cancelling a deed under which she had covenanted to grant Hills an annuity of £SOO, and in another action Hills proceeded against Mrs Murray to recover certain sums totalling £B3 6s Bd, alleged to be due to him under the terms of the deed. His Honour's judgment is a lengthy one. His Honour concludes by finding as a fact that when the deed of covenant was signed, the plaintiff was under the influence of defendant, and that the defendant made use of his influence for the purpose of inducing plaintiff to enter into the agreement embodied in the deed.
