Solicitors' Cases.

COMMON PLEAS DIVISION. (Sittings at Guildhall before Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., and GROVE, J.)

June 26.-Re W. R. Philp, a Solicitor.*

In this matter, which was a charge against Mr. Philp for having misappropriated a cheque, the court, on the 23rd ult, ordered Mr. Philp to be struck off the rolls (see ante, p. 655).

Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., having handed to Grove, J., an affidavit by Mr. Philp, wherein he stated that he had not attended on the previous occasion because he had received no notice that the matter was coming before the court, said :-In this case the court acted under a misapprehension the other day. We were given to understand that Mr. Philp had been served with proper notice, and we were under the impression that, under those circumstances, he abstained from coming into court because he had nothing to say in his defence further than what

* Reported by W. BLEW, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

he stated before the master. After reading this affidavit, which has been filed in the interim, I have come to the conclusion that our order to strike Mr. Philp off the roll must be rescinded, and the matter must stand over until next term.

GROVE, J.-I entirely agree. The solicitor appears not to have received such a notice as would be sufficient to

bring a person before the court upon a motion to strike him off the roll, and had the court been in possession of this information they would not have made the order to strike him off.

Order rescinded.

Election Petitions.

COMMON PLEAS DIVISION.

(Sittings at Guildhall before Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., and GROVE, J.)

June 26.-The Nottingham Election Petition.*

An application on behalf of the petitioners in this matter for leave to withdraw the petition was originally made to this court on the 21st ult., and was adjourned until the 23rd ult., when Lord Coleridge, in ordering the application to stand over until the 26th, announced the receipt of a letter in which the writer asserted that a large sum of money had been paid by the respondent for corrupt purposes.

A. L. Smith, for the petitioners, renewed his application to withdraw. He read affidavits of the petitioners and their agents stating that the application was not the result of any corrupt arrangement or collusion between the parties, but was only made in consequence of counsel having advised that the allegation in the petition could not be supported by the evidence.

Day, Q.C., and Muir Mackenzie, for the respondent, said that prior to the sending and receipt of the letter referred to, his client would have offered no opposition to the petitioners' application, as he would have been glad to escape the trouble and expense of a petition; but that, after the imputations on his character contained in that letter, the respondent refused to make any affidavit, and was now anxious that the petition should be tried out, so that his character might be cleared.

A. L. Smith.-The unusual course adopted by the respondent in opposing the withdrawal of the petition has placed my client in a position of some difficulty.

Lord COLERIDGE, C.J.-It has placed the court in a still more awkward predicament.

GROVE, J.-The difficulty the court is in is this: we were prepared to sanction the withdrawal of this petition when the application was last before us, but, on hearing about the letter, it was thought desirable that the matter should be adjourned until to-day for the respondent to make inquiries, and I do not see why he has not made an affidavit.

A. L. Smith. The respondent might have cleared his character in the best way he could, but his action in the matter should not affect my client's position.

Lord COLERIDGE, C.J.-I am of opinion that, under all circumstances, this petition may be withdrawn. This permission, which was given on the last occasion, was eventually withheld until to-day, in order that the respondent might take any steps he chose with reference to the letter alleging corruptness against him and his party. But, in thus assenting to the request of the respondent's counsel, we never intended to put the petitioners in any worse position than they were in before, or to subject them to any hardship. I must say, however, that I share in the difficulty experienced by my brother Grove, and do not see why the respondent did not file an affidavit denying for himself any complicity in the practice imputed to him by the writer of the letter. He would have been quite safe in the hands of the court, for there was no order that he should pay the costs of the petition, and it would surely be unreasonable to compel the petitioners to go on with a petition in which they themselves say they have no chance of success, and which would only subject them to heavy expense if tried out. The petitioners' affidavits are

[blocks in formation]

LUSH, J., in the course of his judgment, said an agent was a person employed by another to act for him and on his behalf, either generally or in some particular transaction. The authority might be actual, or it might be implied from circumstances. It was not necessary, in order to prove agency, to show that a person was actually appointed by a candidate. If a person not appointed were to assume to act in any department of service as an election agent, and the candidate accepted his services as such, he would thereby ratify the agency, so that a man might become agent in either of two ways-by actual employment, or by recognition and acceptance of his services. If agent, the next question was, What was he appointed to do? or, if not appointed, What kind of service did he profess to do if accepted by the principal? If a person were appointed or accepted as agent for canvassing generally, and he were to bribe or treat a voter, the candidate would thereby forfeit his seat; but if appointed or accepted to canvass a particular class-for instance, if a master were asked to canvass his workmen, and he were to go out of his way to bribe a person who was not his workman, the candidate would not be responsible. In the one case the agent would be acting within the scope of his authority, while in the other he would be acting beyond it, and would be no more to the candidate than a stranger. Of course, it followed that if a person whom the candidate did not authorize to canvass at all, or to take such part in the management of an election as included canvassing, or whatever else he was employed to do, were to take on himself to bribe or to treat a voter, the candidate would not be responsible for that wrongful act. No candidate could ever make sure of his seat if he were made responsible for the acts of unauthorized persons. It was beyond all question that Mr. Phipps appointed only three agents, and that neither of them employed the Cornishes, or either of them, either to canvass or to take any part in the management of the election. One gentleman, and one gentleman only, besides the three agents authorized, canvassed at all, and that was the brother of the sitting member. The other canvassing was donerespecting all canvassed-by the sitting member in per

son.

He intended the whole canvass to be a personal one, except as to one district, which he deputed his brother to take charge of. He was always, when canvassing, accompanied by one of the three solicitors, except in one solitary instance, alluded to by Mr. Collins, the solicitor to the petitioner, who canvassed. He said he never saw Mr. Phipps canvassing without one of his agents, and that, if confirmation were necessary, was strong corroborative evidence, irrespective of that of Mr. Phipps' agent. Frequently one or more parties mentioned in the case accompanied him and his agents to point out the residences of the voters. Mr. Day's contention was that those men became agents of the sitting member by recognition and acceptance of their services, and in his very ingenious speech he argued that every member of the association to which he alleged the two Cornishes belonged was by implication an agent to canvass. He (the learned judge) listened with some curiosity to see by what process of reasoning that startling proposition was to be made out, and he could only characterize it as specious and unsound. The association consisted of persons attached to the Conservative cause, who voluntarily assembled together to promote their own political views. Mr. Phipps did not apply to them, but they sent a requisition to him to be their representative, and he naturally attended some of their meetings and expounded his views, but there the connection between him and the association as

such began and ended. They never altered their position and became his committee. He had no committee, as was admitted by Mr. Day. He took a room for business purposes, because it was not convenient to Mr. Pinniger that his office should be monopolized for election business. The association took another office, and there was no interchange of information between them beyond an occasional natural inquiry to know how matters were going on. There was no communication at all between the sitting member and his agents and the association. Each party acted independently of the other in furtherance of their common purpose. This was not a new point in the experience of election judges. A similar state of things existed in the Westminster petition in 1869. The same doctrine was laid down by Mr. Justice Blackburn at Stalybridge in 1867. In accordance with those views, which were sanctioned both by common law and by common sense, they held that no member of the association was, as such, an agent for the respondent for any purpose in connection with the election. As regarded persons who were not members of the association, there was the same absence of any evidence from which any inference of agency could be drawn, and there was on the other hand the positive statement of the sitting member, his brother, and his professional agents to the contrary. Whatever wrong was committed by the other persons who had been mentioned they were answerable for, but the sitting member was not. Mr. Day further contended that the sitting member ought to have done or said something to the Cornistes, or to have publicly notified that he did not recognize the Cornishes as his agents, an argument which implied that the omission to do so ought to lead them to the conclusion that he adopted their acts. They could not say that that argument might not have weight in a certain supposed state of facts, but considering the casual and slight information that reached the ears of those gentlemen, and that that information contained no hint of any wrong doing, it was not a thing that they could notify. A candidate could not prevent, nor need he prevent, one voter trying to get another to come on his side, and that was all their information naturally led them to suppose the Cornishes had done.

There remained the question of costs. If George Cornish had been a man unknown to the petitioner, and he had been entirely ignorant of his previous doings and his character, they (the learued judges) might have thought he had some grounds for petitioning, and that he was entitled to some indulgence in the way of costs; but he knew that the man had sought employment on his side first, and that on his refusal to have anything to do with him-an act for which he was to be commended-Cornish went over to the other side and sought to draw away voters from him. Yet he proceeded to act upon the assumption that Cornish had been employed on the other side, and he filed his petition without any previous inquiry of the sitting member, or any endeavour to ascertain what the truth was. He had chosen to speculate on being able to prove the allegations of his petition, and must bear the consequences of it. The petition must be dismissed with costs.

June 29.-BEWDLEY.

(Before DENMAN and LOPES, JJ.) Agency of members of local associations.

LOPES, J., in giving judgment, said he wished to say a few words as to the position of the political associations and the liability of candidates. It was contended that there was no privity between the respondent and the Wribbenhall Association-that the active members were not his agents, and he was not responsible for their illegal acts. appeared to be persons who thought a candidate might escape the responsibility attaching to his agents by the employment of the active members of associations instead of individual

There

agents. If it could be done the Corrupt Practices Act would become a dead letter. There might be, doubtless, in a borough a political association existing for the purposes of the political party, and advocating the cause of a particular candidate, and contributing to his success, and yet having no privity with the candidate or his agents-an independent agency and organization. To say that the candidate should be responsible for the corrupt acts of any members of that association would be unjust, against common sense, and opposed to law. There might, on the other hand, be a political association in a borough advocating the cause of a candidate

of which that candidate was not a member, and even to which he did not subscribe, and with which he was not ostensibly connected, yet at the same time in intimate relation with the agents, utilizing through them the labours of the members for the purpose of carrying on the election, interchanging communications and opinions with the agents respecting the canvassing of voters and conduct of the election, and largely contributing to the result of the election. To say that the candidate was not responsible for any corrupt act done by an active member of such an association would be repealing the Corrupt Practices Act and sanctioning a most effective system of corruption.

A Chicago legal journal says that a Dr. Wagner was recently indicted for being a "6 common barrator." The State charged that the defendant had brought innumerable actions against at least fifty different persons in the county upon purely fictitious causes of action. One day before a single magistrate he had instituted nearly 1,000 suits, as many as 126 being against one person, 121 against another, and 120 against a third. But it appeared that these suits were brought by the doctor himself in his own name. For the defendant it was argued that when the prisoner was himself the litigant, if his suits were groundless and malicious, the law supplied a sufficient remedy by mulcting him in costs, and rendering him also liable to action for malicious prosecution; that the law did not intend to make it an indictable offence, except when the offender attempted to escape all civil liability by inciting others to bring suits instead of bringing them himself. The court decided in Wagner's favour, and ordered the discharge of the prisoner.
