1Opinion of the CourtBrooke, J.
The action is trespass on the case in which plaintiffs recovered a judgment against defendant fqr $993.28.
The defendant was the owner of a tract of wild land in the island of Cuba, upwards of 9,000 acres in extent. It appears to have been its purpose to subdivide this tract into farms of 40 or 50 acres each, and to sell them to prospective settlers. Through one of its agents, it sold one of these farms to plaintiffs, who went to Cuba in March, 1908. Wilgus remained there until October, 1907, and Painter, with the exception of five months spent in Florida, remained there until April, 1908.…
