The Board of Examiners.

1. State and discuss by reference to authorities the exceptions to the general rule "That while the special contract remained unperformed, no action of indebitatus assumpsit could have been brought for anything done under it."

2. A, on the 2nd February, sold a horse to X for £40, with a warranty of soundness. X took the horse, and on the same day sold it to B for £45. B, on the following day, parted with it in exchange to C; and C, in two or three days afterwards, sold it to X for £30. No warranty appeared to have been given on the three last sales. The horse was, in fact, unsound at the time of the first sale. On the 9th February X offered to return it to A, who refused to accept it.

Had X a right to return the horse to A, and thereby exonerate himself from payment of the whole price?

3. What were the facts and the decision in Wain v. Warlters, 2 S.L.C. 266 ?

4. Discuss the question what can be deemed a sufficient signature to a contract to satisfy the Statute of Frauds.

9. Under what circumstances may an insured ship deviate from her proper course without imperilling the policy?

10. How far will Courts of Equity uphold an obligation in restraint of marriage?

11. State and explain the equitable doctrine of apportionment as applied to an obligation.

12. A's father, since deceased, had, before A came of age, borrowed a sum of £200 from X, promising that his son A, when of age, would become surety for the debt. In 1877, A being then of age, X brought a promissory note stamp to A's

father's house, where A then was, and a promissory note was then drawn up and signed by A's father and A. By such note they jointly and severally promised to pay X or order "the sum of £200, being money lent, with interest on the same from Martinmas last past half-yearly at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum." There was

no evidence as to anything being said by the parties in relation to the signing of the note. Interest had been paid upon the note. It appeared that on several occasions such interest was paid in A's presence, and the receipts for such payments of interest were made out to A's father and A jointly. None of the principal sum had been paid.

Assuming as a fact that the intention of the parties was that X might give time to A's father, and X did give time, was there a sufficient consideration for A making the promissory note?
