DEED OF ANNUITY
CANCELLATION BY COURT. Bx Telegbaph.—press Association. Blenheim, January 20. That the deed of annuity should be cancelled is the decision conveyed in a reserved judgment of Mr. Justice Sim in the case of Emma Murray, Springcreek (widow of the late William Murray) versus George Henry Eugene Hills, of Blenheim, which was heard in the Supreme Court at Blenheim on December 14 and 15. Mrs. Murray prayed for an order setting aside and cancelling the deed under which she had covenanted to grant Hills an annuity of £5OO and in the other 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, occupying some 17 pages of typescript. His Honour concludes by finding as a fact that when the deed covenant was signed, plaintiff was tinder the influence of defendant and that defendant made use of his influence for the purpose of inducing plaintiff to enter into the agreement embodied in the deed.
