   Taylor, J.

The money for the recovery of which this action is brought was paid to defendant for certain shares of stock of the Improved Shuttle Company of Canada, a corporation. The case was heard with Whalen v. Saunders, 90 Vt. 393, 98 Atl. 901, on a separate bill of exceptions, but the questions presented are the same in both cases. Defendant’s exceptions are overruled for the reasons given in our opinion in that case.

Judgment affirmed.
