This is an action of contract to recover the proceeds of a check,- which had been given as a deposit on.the purchase of a parcel of vacant land on Ash Street, -Weston. The case was referred to an auditor whose findings of fact were to be final. The judge allowed a motion for judgment for the defendants on the auditor’s report. The plaintiff’s exceptions raise the question of the correctness of that ruling, which involves a defence of illegality for violation of the Lord’s day statute. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 136, § 5. Ryan v.
