out resorting to any such artful

an insult to the ability and the

decided In a suit brought by a

given to cover margins, that as .
there was no intention of the ,
parties to purchaee and receive
grain, the contract was a
gambling contract, upon which .
no recovery could be had. The
court goes on to pay : "On con-'

though outward forma of law
may have been complied with,
yet where the defense is that

not intended for artnal pale and '
