Scope and content
File consists of 4 documents: Affidavit of H.F. Heisterman; Affidavit of R. Plummer (with attached Exhibits A & B). Mason is the administrator of the estate of W. Rippon. Rippon was the owner of a piece of property, Section 20, Range IV, Mountain District, Vancouver Island. Upon his death, the property was to be sold at public action, authorized by Mason. Noah Shakespeare, acting as the agent of Mr. Bate and the Vancouver Coal Company, purchased the said property on their behalf. Bate then stated that Shakespeare has exceeded his instruction. It is presumed that Mason is suing for the purchase price of the property, 100 acres at $250 an acre, equaling $25,000.
