Where, in an action by an assignee of a contract for the sale of land, made through a broker, against the principal for breach of the contract, the defense was that the contract had been procured through misrepresentations, the question as to how far a delay of a few weeks on defendant's part in retaining the purchase money, and her reading of the whole or part only of the paper before signing it, tended to show her defense to be an afterthought, were for the jury. Kurinsky v. Lynch, 201 Mass. 28, 87 N. B. 70.
