last-mentioned test of the application of the statute, had been the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, in Hill v. Kitching, (3 C. B. 299). In that case, a shipbroker sought to recover commission from a shipowner, for having procured a charterparty to be made with him. A witness called for the plaintiff stated on the voir dire, that he had introduced the owner to the broker; that he had nothing to do with the negotiation, and had no claim on the owner, but that he expected, pursuant to arrangement and to custom among brokers, to receive half the amount of the commission which the plaintiff might recover in the action. He was held to be a competent witness, and not one "in whose immediate or individual behalf” the action was brought, Tindal, C. J., observed, that if it had appeared the plaintiff had made over to the witness a moiety of the commission, then he would not have been competent; but that it was not so; and that the witness, though he claimed a moiety under a distinct and separate agreement with the plaintiff, had no right to lay his hand upon any portion of the money to be recovered in the action. Maule, J., stated the meaning of the proviso to be, that no person who was the formal plaintiff on the record should be called as a witness; nor any person who, though not the formal plaintiff, was yet substantially so. And the instance put by his Lordship was that of a man assigning a bond and suing the obligor on behalf of the assignee: the latter would be a person in whose immediate and individual behalf the action was brought; and, therefore, not an admissible witness. It had been previously held, at Nisi Prius, by Parke, B., and Wightman, J., that, in an action against a sheriff for not taking a defendant on a ca. sa., the sheriff's officer to whom the warrant had been granted on the writ was a competent witness for the defendant, under 6 & 7 Vict. c. 85. (Wilson v. Magnay, 1 Car. & K. 291; Wheeler v. Senior, Id. 293). The officer in such case can be made liable to the sheriff only through the medium of another action. On these two last cases, however, being cited in Sage v. Robinson, Alderson, B., said they had since been questioned.

We should not omit to notice the case of Hearne v. Turner, (2 C. B. 535), which was an action of trover for two promissory notes. The defendant pleaded, that, before the plaintiff was possessed of the notes, one Mytton was possessed of them, and had been defrauded thereof by parties who wrongfully delivered them to the plaintiff; whereupon the defendant, as Mytton's agent, and by his authority, took the notes from the plaintiff. Mytton was called for the defendant, and having stated on the voir dire that he had not indemnified the defendant, and that he had nothing whatever to do with the action, was held admissible, under 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 43, s. 26, and 6 & 7 Vict. c. 85; and, indeed, it seems he would have been so at common law. Since 6 & 7 Vict. c. 85, it appears that a bankrupt is a competent witness to prove the petitioning creditor's debt, or act of bankruptcy, or any fact to support the fiat. (Udal v. Watson, 14 Mee. & W. 254).

The act expressly excepts as a witness "the landlord or other person in whose right any defendants in replevin may make cognisance;" and it was held applicable to the exclusion of the landlord, although the de

fendant gave no evidence to sustain the cognisance, in which such landlord was mentioned, and offered to abandon it. (Girdlestone v. M'Gowram, 1 C. & K. 702). It should have been abandoned before the trial.

POINTS ON THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF INJUNCTIONS.

(Continued from Vol. 12,

p. 515). Principles on which the Court acts in aid of a legal Right.]-It is a well-settled doctrine, that equity, in interfering by injunction to restrain infringement of pa tents, copyright, and the like, only exercises its jurisdiction as ancillary to the legal right; so that, when there is any considerable doubt of the legal title, the Court either does not grant an injunction at all, or only grants it on terms, in order to prevent irreparable injury while the right is being tried at law. The application of these principles to each particular case will depend on the circumstances of the case. And, in considering whether an injunction will be granted or refused, in the first instance, pending the determination of the legal right, it must be considered whether irreparable or great injury will have been done to the defendant by the injunction should the plaintiff's legal right fail, or to the plaintiff by refusing it should he turn out to have a legal right. Generally, it may be said, that, unless this day, grant an injunction while the legal right is in the plaintiff's legal right is clear, the Court will not, at course of trial. (Spottiswoode v. Clarke, 2 Phil. 134). Lord Cottenham, C., in a case of Bacon v. Jones, (4 My; & C. 433), has intimated that he probably never would grant an injunction to restrain infringement of a patent, the defendant desired it; and the same doctrine would, without putting the plaintiff to try the right at law, if no doubt, be applied to any other class of cases where the jurisdiction of equity is ancillary to the legal right. This doctrine was referred to by Vice-Chancellor Wigram, in The Duke of Beaufort v. Morris, (6 Hare, 340), where the plaintiff's right not being admitted, an tiff to establish his right at law; and his Honor said, injunction had been granted without putting the plainhe apprehended, that, in such a case, the Lord Chancellor would have required it as a matter of course.

In a case of Wilson v. Tindal, (Web. Pat. Cas. 730), Lord Langdale, M.R., said, arguendo, he had no doubt of the competency of the Court to grant an injunction simpliciter; that it was not the right of parties, in every case, to have an action tried in a court of law; that it is a question of convenience, and the Court is to exercise a fair discretion. However, in Harman v. Jones, where the legal right is in contest, it is the duty of the (1 Cr. & Ph. 299), Lord Cottenham has held, that Court, on granting an injunction, to put the legal question in a course of immediate investigation, whether it be asked for or not; and an injunction simply, without a direction to the plaintiff to bring an action, or without some direction for the trial of the right, will, on the ground of that omission alone, be varied. So, if an injunction is refused, the order is not correct if it does not contain some direction for enabling the plaintiff to proceed at law. (Swallow v. Wallingford, 12 tiff cannot proceed to establish his right at law, and is Jur. 403). For if there is no such direction, the plainnot to be deprived of an injunction, and delayed, of necessity, till the hearing of the cause in equity. And where the injunction is to restrain a party from infringing a legal right, the Court ought not to grant it without securing to itself the means of putting him in the same position, in the event of his turning out to be right, as if the Court had not interfered. (Sancster v. Foster, 1 Cr. & Ph. 302).

From these cases, and from the doctrine so frequently laid down by Lord Cottenham, that the Court is not to try a legal right, it seems to follow that the dictum in Wilson v. Tindal cannot be supported, and that it is of right in the parties to have a trial at law, of some kind, of the legal right.

Injunctions to restrain Proceedings at Law, on the Ground of Complexity of Account.]-In O'Connor v. Spaight, (1 Sch. & Lef. 305), the defendant had demised premises to the plaintiff, and rent was to be paid, at a certain rate for every acre the premises should be found to contain. Upon this demise the tenant entered, and no rent, as rent, was paid, but divers payments were made to the landlord by bills and otherwise; and then, on the rent being in arrear, the landlord brought ejectment for non-payment. The tenant filed a bill for an account, and applied for an injunction; and Lord Redesdale thought it a proper case to stay the proceedings at law, on the ground that the account was too complex to be taken at law; and, until it was taken, the justice of the case could not appear. This case would be misunderstood if it were supposed to be an authority for the position, that, wherever there is a complex account, it is, on the ground of its complexity alone, fit to be taken in equity, to the exclusion of proceedings at law; or that wherever there is a demand of the defendant at law resting on account, to be set off against that of the plaintiff at law, on that ground alone equity assumes jurisdiction.

If set-off be the ground of restraining proceedings at law, it must be equitable set-off, which is, where the equity of the bill impeaches the very demand of the plaintiff at law, as in O'Connor v. Spaight; not where there are merely specific cross demands, as in Whyte v. O' Brien, (1 S. & S. 551). For where the case is simply one of specific cross demands-as where the plaintiff at law sues upon a clear breach of a contract, and the plaintiff in equity files a bill to restrain the action, on the ground of a complicated account between the parties, in reference to dealings arising out of the contract, but ultra the particular breach of it-equity will not stay execution of a judgment obtained by the plaintiff at law, unless the account is settled. The equity must be, not that, if the defendant at law pays the demand of the plaintiff at law, it may turn out, that, upon setting that off against the balance due from him on the general account, he will have had too much; but that the very substance of his demand at law is cut down by something which cannot be entered into until the general account is taken. (Rawson v. Samuel, 1 Cr. & Ph. 161).

See also the great case of Nixon v. The Taff Railway Company, (House of Lords Cases, 111), which appears at first sight to proceed on mere complication of account, but proceeds in reality upon, and is within the principle of, O'Connor v. Spaight and Rawson v. Samuel, viz. that an account is only proper to be taken in equity upon cross demands, when it can only appear from the result of a general account what is due to the party who would be plaintiff at law, and such account is too complicated to be examined at Nisi Prius.
