THE APPEAL COURT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Wednesday. The Appeal Court was occupied to-day with the case of Riddiford v. Warren and others, an appeal from the decision of the Chief Justice. The respondents, who are sheepfarmers at Pahiatua, contracted to sell all their lambs for the season to the appellant, but repudiated the agreement on the ground of misrepresentation by appellant's agent, and later brought a suit for £250 damages, and the Chief Justice held there had been •misrepresentation, though innocent, entitling respondents to rescind the contract. The appeal involves consideration of the present condition of the law in regard to the effect of innocent misrepresentation on contracts for sale or purchase. Argument for the appellant was concluded this afternoon. Argument for the respondents will be taken to-morrow morning.
