Finally the Bishop and the clder got Lehman to agree to give Kester a reâ€" lease on condition that the latter paid all the costs,. All three then started off in a rig to Kester‘s farm, but when threeâ€"quarters of a mile away Lehman wished to get down and go back home. Elder Hoover was ceeded in making them all the way. At Kester‘s under the control of the Bishop and the elder, Lehman agreed to sign a release, which was drawn Both parties belong to the Mennonâ€" ite Church of Altona Village, whose members s@re bound not to go to law with one avother, and their fellowâ€"worâ€" shippers were greatly scandalized when Lehman su»d Kester for the seduction of his daughter, who had gone to the Kester home to help in the louse durâ€" ing Mrs. Kester‘s confinement. The fact that Lehman won the suit rather aggravated _ the _ offence. Lehman, being made to feel its heinousness, on Sunday, Nov. 8th, while the appeal was pending, _ told Elder Isaiah Hoover that if Bishop Wideman came to the church two weeks later he would make confession. _ Elder Hoover ard _ the Bishop apparently found that _ Lehâ€" man‘s repentant . mood might _ pass, and they decided not to wait for the appointed Sunday. Bishop to remove his name from the books of the church. The Bishop . said that he would certainly be expelled if he did not confess. up by Mr. McCullough, of Stouffville. His Lordship remarin that plaintiff is 62 years of age, a cripple, not strong physically ard of a nervous temperaâ€" ment, and that he was induced to sign the release by the threats of expulsion used by _ Bishop Wideman. Though neither of the particsâ€"the Bishop and the elderâ€"exercising â€"undue inffiwnw over Lelhman _ were â€" beneficiaries, â€"Mr. Justic MacMahon rules that it does not prevent the transaction from comâ€" ing under the rule that when undue inâ€" fluence has been exercised, even if the benefit results to a third person, the impeached _ transaction cannot stand. The law requires free and full consont to bind the parties, such consent supâ€" posing three things, physical power, mental power and a free exercise of these powers. _ If either is defective or if the exercise is hindered the act is not binding. "As no court has ever attempted ,** says His Lordship in conclusion, "to deâ€" fine fraud, so no court has ever atâ€" tempted to define undue _ influence, which includes one of its many varieâ€" ties. The undue influence which _ the Courts of Equity endeavor to defeat is the undue influence of one person over another, not the influence of enthusiasm on the erthusiast who is carried away by it, unless indeed such enthusiasm is itself the result of external undue inâ€" fluence. But the influence of one mind over another is very subtle, and of all influences religious influence is the most dangerous and the most powerful, and to councract it Courts of Equity have gone very far. _ ‘""When the plaintiff was consulted about the release which was to be proâ€" pared he was acting from fearâ€"loss of moral power â€"engendered by Bishop Wideman‘s threat that he would be exâ€" pelled from the church unless a release of the judgment to Kester was executed by him,. 1 think the plaintiff should have been permitted to see his soliciâ€" tors before being taken to Kester, as he was virtually giving to Kester the $1,200 judgment recovered against him. On the 16th they drove down to Lehâ€" man‘s house, and the Bishop asked him if he would make confession. Lehman replied in the negative and told the "I find that the release was executed by the plaintiff without the advice of his solicitors and under the undue inâ€" fluence of Bishop Wideman and _ Mr. Hoover, and is not a valid release."
