IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.
Dl'nkcin, This day.
Judge Williams gave judgment for plaintiff in Read v. Galliard. Iv the course of the judgment he t-.uii Galliard was far from being stupid or unintelligent. " His letters ure well expressed and correctly spelt, and ha gavo his evidence as if he perfectly well knew what he was about. He admits that at tho Land Board enquiry he swore falsely Tho documentary evidence does not support his present contention. If it were sought now to set aside the mortgage ia a substantive proceeding on the ground that no money had ever been advanced under it, or on any other ground, it would certainly require the clearest unimpeachable evidence to justify tho Court taking that course. That evidence was not forthcoming in the present case. Defendant may have, for all 1 know, other tight of action against tho Smiths, but he hiis not made out any defence. Tho present proceedings aro suflicient to defeat plaiutiff's title obtained under ttie Land Transfer Act ,,
