Head Matter:
William F. Bridge, Appellant, v. George H. Penniman, Respondent.
(Argued March 16, 1887;
decided April 19, 1887.)
This action was brought to recover back the purchase-money paid for certain shares of stock, which purchase was-induced by false representations on the part of defendant. The court hold that the real controversy here “ revolves about the inquiry, whether plaintiff did in fact rescind by tendering-back, without condition, the stock received, or whether, on the contrary he used that stock and its transfer to the defendant as a new consideration for a new contract;” that as this was a question of fact which had been determined adversely to plaintiff upon evidence justifying the finding, it was conclusive.
William C. Holbrook for appellant.
Joseph H. Choate for respondent.
