Plaintiffs failed to give a good title because they could not deliver originals of title documents (the Crown lease and a Deed of Release) that were in existence at completion; certified copies were insufficient where originals existed and were obtainable; other requisitions were satisfactorily answered (including abandonment of easements and government non-objection issues); consequently purchaser was entitled to rescind, recover deposited sums and abortive costs and to a lien over the properties.
