reasons given by Strong J. in favor of sustaining the judgment of the* Court of Appeal.

Sir W' J. RITCHIE C. J.-I think it very clear that the defendants used the criminal process for the purpose of extorting from this old man the transfer of his property, and I think that no court having proper respect for itself would sanction such a proceeding. and PATTERSON JJ. concurred. J.-The whole proceedings of the appellants by which they obtained the assignment which the court in Nova Scotia has avoided were, in my judgment, a monstrous outrage upon justice and the appeal, therefore, should be dismissed with costs. Appeal dismissed with costs.
