made by the defendants i'm regard to a

The court does not find that the evil

the complainants made a personal inspec-

the bargain was closed and did not rely
upon statements Of tho defendants in that
regard.
IL is also held that there is no pre-
ponderance of evidence TO the effect that
the defendants or their agent falsely
