having sold L. House, she wished to make the following alterations in her legacies. She then made a fresh list of legacies, the total of which amounted to £1,969, and she added, "Should there be any residue it is to be divided as my executors think best." The testatrix had no real estate besides L It was admitted that the gift of residue in the codicil was void for uncertainty; but the question was whether it had the effect of revoking the gift of residue in the will. And there was the further ques tion whether the gift of residue contained in the will operated to pass the

payment of costs. It was enough to say that the Committee seemed to have proceeded in accordance with good sense to fix persons who were substantial petitioners with these costs. At any rate, the order had been made within their jurisdiction, and this application must be refused. MATHEW, J., concurred.-COUNSEL, Bigham, QC, and T. W. Chitty; H. D. Greene, Q.C., and H. Kisch.

This was an originating summons raising the question whether, on the true construction of a will, a class of persons beneficially interested took per stirpes or per capita. The members of the class were ascertained. The plaintiff was one of the class whose interest it was to support the stirpital construction. The defendants were the executors of the will, one of them being also a member of the class interested in supporting the other construction. The summons had not been served on anyone else, and the question arose whether all the parties interested were sufficiently represented. NORTH, J., said that, all the persons interested being ascertained, he could not, under rule 32 of order 16, appoint the persons who were before the court to represent the two divisions of the class. In such a case the proper course was to serve the summons on the executors only in the first instance, and then to apply in chambers to ascertain who the persons interested were, and for directions who should be served.

In the present case the difficulty was removed by the counsel who appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendants being instructed on behalf of the other persons interested.-COUNSEL, Everitt, Q.C., and Arckoll; Cookson, Q.C., and H. B. Howard. SOLICITORS, Arckoll & Ceckell; Rivington & Sons.

MALLET v. HANLY-Q. B. Div., 4th March. PARLIAMENT - VEXATIOUS OPPOSITION TO BILL-SUMMARY PROCEDURE TO ENFORCE PAYMENT OF COSTS-LEAVE TO PUT IN DEFENCE.

The plaintiff was the promoter of a Bill in Parliament to authorize the abandonment of certain tramways. A petition against the Bill was presented by the Skegness and St. Leonards' Tramway Co. The defendants were two directors of that company. The Committee of the House of Commons, before whom the Bill came, reported, under section 2 of the Private Bill Costs Act (28 Vict. c. 27), that the promoter had been vexatiously subjected to expense in the promotion of the Bill by the opposition of the defendants, petitioners against the Bill, and that he was entitled to recover costs from them. The taxing officer of the House having taxed the costs and given his certificate under section 3, the plaintiff issued the writ in this action under section 5, which allows such a plaintiff to sign judgment summarily. The defendants appeared to the writ and delivered a defence, in which they denied that the Committee had jurisdiction to order them to pay the costs. Application was made on behalf of the plaintiff to the proper officer of the court to sign judg. ment for the amount claimed. He refused, but ultimately the Court of Appeal allowed the plaintiff to sign judgment, stating, however, that it would still be open to the defendants to move to set aside the judgment (ante, p. 141, 35 W. R. 201, 18 Q. B. D. 303). The defendants accordingly applied at chambers to set aside the judgment and for leave to put in a defence. Huddleston, B., referred the matter to the court.

THE COURT refused the application. Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., said it was admitted and it had been found by the Court of Appeal that up to the original application to sign_judgment everything had been done by the plaintiff with regularity. The defendants, on the other hand, had not acted in the way in which it had been suggested by the Court of Appeal that they might have acted in opposition to the action. The Court of Appeal, while allowing the plaintiff to sign judgment, further said that if the defendants adopted the course of making an application to the High Court and succeeded in disclosing some case which shewed that there had been an excess of jurisdiction on the part of the Committee, then they might be allowed to set aside the judgment and raise that defence by plea. If the Court of Appeal had meant that the defendants had shewn such a case here, then, whatever his lordship's own opinion might be, he should have deferred to their judgment and allowed the defendants to raise this plea. But he did not so understand their judgment. They meant that leave must be obtained of this court to enable the defendant to take that course, and that, before this court gave such leave, it must be satisfied that there were grounds for coming to the conclusion that the Committee had acted without jurisdiction. Now the Committee had found that the persons who really opposed the promoters of this Bill were these two gentlemen. That matter was fully within the jurisdiction of the Committee to determine. Counsel who appeared to oppose the Bill said he appeared for these two gentlemen. And no doubt the substantial petitioners were the persons against whom the Committee made this order. The judgment sought to be set aside was a judgment regularly signed under the provisions of a stringent Act of Parliament, which empowered Parliamentary Committees to fix such persons as they found to be petitioners vexatiously opposing any private Bill with the

QUANTUM MERUIT.

The question in this case was whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover for services rendered by him to the defendant upon the terms of an alleged contract, which had not been reduced to writing, and by which the plaintiff had agreed to act as the defendant's traveller for a term of three years, in return for certain remuneration to be paid at the end of the term. The plaintiff, in fact, did serve the defendant as his traveller for the three years. The judgment of the COURT (DAY and WILLS, JJ.) was delivered by

WILLS, J., who said that, although the contract was not in writing, and, therefore, could not be sued upon by reason of the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds, it had been held in Britain v. Rossiter (27 W. R. 482) that a contract within that section was not rendered absolutely void, but still existed so as, in certain cases, to prevent any implication of another contract. But there had always existed a distinction between cases in which the action was for damages and those in which the action was for work done, money expended, or services rendered. In the latter class of cases, though the work had been done or the money expended under circumstances which shewed that the parties had acted with reference to a definite agreement, the fact that such an agreement existed which could not be sued upon had not been allowed to prevent the ordinary implication that the work had been done or the services rendered by the plaintiff on the terms of receiving reasonable remuneration. The present was a case of this latter class, and the plaintiff was here entitled to succeed -COUNSEL, Willis, Q.C., and Tindal Atkinson; Bigham, Q.C., and C. E. Jones.

PENNY. HANSON-Q. B. Div., 25th February.

VAGRANCY ACT-PROFESSING TO TELL FORTUNES.

In this case the appellant had been convicted before one of the Metropolitan police magistrates for unlawfully "professing and pretending to tell fortunes to deceive and impose on one T. K. and others of her Majesty's subjects," under the provisions of section 4 of 5 Geo. 4, c. 83. The advertisements in various newspapers to the following effect:-"Wanted, evidence before the magistrate was that the appellant had inserted everyone to have their nativities cast. Yearly advice given and astrological questions answered. For terms send stamps, &c." A detective applied for terms and received a circular from the appellant, which stated his views on astrology as a science and continued:-"By the position of the planets in the nativity and their aspects to each other we are able to give the general description of the person, the diseases liable to, health, mental abilities and disposition, the occupation most suitable, All that is required is the marriage, &c. Interviews are unnecessary. time of birth as near as possible." Then followed a scale of charges It was contended on the part of the appellant that there was no evidence of a profession or pretence to tell the fortunes of T. K., as nothing was told to him as being his fortune; that there was no evidence that the appellant did not believe the science he professed to apply and therefore no intention to deceive; that he did not pretend to any mysterious power, but only to apply certain rules known to persons who had studied astrology.

In this case a question arose as to the power of the assessor of the Passage Court of Liverpool to make the following rule:-" Whereas it is desirable that in the following cases security for costs should be required to be given-namely, (1) In the case of frivolous and vexatious actions, I do order that the registrar shall be at liberty in every such case, upon the application of the defendant upon cause duly sworn to his satisfaction, to make an order that security for the costs of the defendant to the satisfaction of, and to an amount to be fixed by, the registrar, shall be given by the persons bringing or prosecuting such action, and any such order shall be subject to such terms as to stay of proceedings or otherwise as by the said registrar shall be deemed fit." THE COURT (DAY and WILLS, JJ.) held that the rule was bad; that the term "frivolous and vexatious actions" being an expression well known to mean actions which ought never to have been brought at all, it was an abuse of language to say that a rule permitting such actions to be brought by people rich enough to find security for costs was a rule of practice which the assessor had power to make.-COUNSEL, Mansfield; Chitty; Synnott.

AS

PRISON "CRIMINAL PRISONER "-UNQUALIFIED PERSON PRACTISING A SOLICITOR-COMMITTAL TO PRISON-SOLICITORS ACT, 1843 (6 & 7 VICT. c. 73), ss. 2, 32-PRISONS ACT, 1865 (28 & 29 VICT. c. 126), s. 4. This was an action against the Governor of Holloway Gaol for trespass and false imprisonment. The plaintiff had been committed to Holloway Gaol for six months under a warrant issued in pursuance of an order of the Queen's Bench Division, made under section 32 of 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73, for having acted or practised as a solicitor without being duly qualified. The plaintiff was placed on the criminal side of the prison and treated as a criminal prisoner not sentenced to hard labour. He contended that he ought to have been treated as a first-class misdemeanant. The sum of £50 was agreed upon as the amount of damages in case the defendant was liable. Section 2 of 6 & 7 Vict. c 73 enacts that no person shall act as a solicitor without being duly qualified; and section 32 provides that, if any solicitor shall knowingly act as agent for any person not duly qualified, or permit his name to be used by such person, any of the superior courts may, upon complaint made in a summary way, strike the solicitor off the roll, and may commit such unqualified person to prison for any term not exceeding one year. By section 4 of the Prisons Act, 1865, "criminal prisoner means any prisoner charged with, or convicted of, a crime, and section 67 enacts that a first-class misdemeanant shall not be deemed to be a criminal prisoner. Denman, J., held that the plaintiff was not " person convicted of a crime" within section 4 of the Prisons Act, 1865, and gave judgment for him.

a

THE COURT OF APPEAL reversed this judgment. Lord ESHER, M. R., said that the defendant had only to obey the warrant of commitment, and that was a sufficient authority to him. The warrant recited an order of committal under section 32 of 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73, for having acted or practised as a solicitor without being duly qualified. Was that offence a crime? Section 2 expressly prohibited it, and therefore made it a misdemeanour: Reg. v. Buchanan (8 Q. B. 883). The offence therefore was a crime. His lordship also thought that section 32 of itself made it a crime. That being so, the person dealt with under the last part of section 32 was "convicted of a crime." The plaintiff was not committed simply for a contempt of court within section 26 of the Solicitors Act, 1860, when, by section 41 of the Prisons Act, 1877, he would be treated as a first-class misdemeanant. Further, the plaintiff did not come within the words in section 41, "imprisoned under any rule, order, or attachment for contempt of court," as those words were all qualified by and referred to the words " contempt of any court." The defendant was accordingly entitled to judgment.COUNSEL, Crump, Q.C., Wildey Wright, and H. C. Richards; Sir R. E. Webster, A.G., R. S. Wright, and Danckwerts. SOLICITORS, J.

ELECTION LAW.

ARCH v. BENTINCK-Q. B. Div., 8th March. ELECTION LAW-CORRUPT PRACTICES-CHANGE OF VENUE.

In this case the question arose as to what are "special circumstances" which will induce the court to order the trial of an election petition to take place elsewhere than in the borough or county in which the election has been held. Both parties agreed in desiring that the trial of a petition in respect to an illegal practice alleged to have been committed by the sitting member for the North-Western Division of Norfolk should take place in London. The only charge was that Lord H. Bentinck, the sitting member, had sent a sum of £3 to an elector in a letter after the election for services rendered during the election. It was stated that there would be no witnesses on the part of the petitioner, for Lord H. Bentinck did not dispute the letter, and probably Lord H. Bentinck would be the only witness on the other side, and he was in London. It would therefore be much more convenient and economical that the case should be heard in London.

THE COURT (DAY and WILLS, JJ.) held that there were special circumstances which rendered it desirable, under section 11, sub-section 11, of the Election Petitions Act, 1868, that the petition should be heard in London.-COUNSEL, Jeune; R.

He united to great zeal for whatever he took in hand a singular clearness of intellectual vision. He was consequently at the furthest remove from all suspicion of fanaticism, though everybody felt his earnestness and persistency. Of his professional work the great reputation of the firm of which he was the head is the best testimony."

GENERAL.

The report of the committee appointed in December, 1885, by the Board of Trade to inquire into the manner in which the Patent Office was carrying out the Patent Act of 1883 was published on Saturday, together with the evidence taken by the committee. The committee recommend that the practice introduced by the Act of 1883 of warning applicants of the existence of unpublished applications likely to conflict with their own should be dropped. In the unanimous opinion of the witnesses this practice had entirely failed, and it was calculated that the repeal of the provision would result in a saving of £300 to £400 a year. In the case of a patent being abandoned in consequence of a filed but unpublished description, the committee thought that the fees should be returned. The present system of examining applications appeared to the committee to be too elaborate, and they considered that it might be simplified by diminishing the excessive amount of supervision exercised.
