1. Judgment was delivered in this action at the end of the trial. The narrow issue which arose was whether a deposit paid by the plaintiff to the defendant of $150,000, in relation to a contract for the sale of dyed cloth, was refundable. In giving judgment I ordered that the deposit be refunded by the defendant to the plaintiff and indicated that reasons for judgment would be handed down subsequently. I now proceed to do so.
