The Registry Act does not preclude inquiry as to whether there was knowledge in fact; and the Court was not compelled as a conclusion of law to say that the defendant had notice of what he was doing, and so could not plead mistake.

Held, that this did not constitute a fraud on the defendant's part so as to entitle the plaintiff to disaffirm the contract and replevy the flour. Baker v. Fisher, 650.

for the exchange of lands the agreement was admitted, the only defence being fraud and a repudiation therefor. A month prior to the trial, the defendant ascertained that the plaintiff's wife and not the plaintiff was the owner of the land, and that she had executed a deed thereof to! be delivered to the defendant. No claim for repudiation was made on the ground of want of title. At the trial the defendant was allowed to amend by setting up that neither at the time of the agreement nor at the commencement of the action was the plaintiff the owner of the land, without any averment that on the discovery thereof the defendant repudiated on such ground :

Held, that the amended defence constituted no answer to the action, and that the defendant not having repudiated when he ascertained the plaintiff had no title, it was sufficient if the plaintiff made title on the reference therefor. Paisley v. Wills, 303.
