note of the company in payment. The
company went into liquidation and the
note is not paid. The property was
deeded by the company to the town.
Two members of the company were
town councillors, Was the transac-
tion legal? (2) Can I recover my pro-
perty or the amount Of the note front

Ans.—(1) The fact that two of the
directors of the company were town
Councillors at the time the property
was conveyed to the 'corporation did
not render the transaction void. The
