F. Cheux, barrister-at-law, of King's Bench-walk, Temple for £57 odd. The plaintiff was the unsuccessful Inde pendent Uniqnist candidate at the Parliamentary election for St. Ives Cornwall, in December. He appoint.. ed Mr. Cheux as his agent, at an agreed fee of £157 103., but said that owing to his incompetence his services were worth only £75.
Mr. Cheux counterclaimed for £15 odd, and denied all incompetence or negligence.
Captain Michell said he had two- opponents, and there was only about a fortnight in which to conduct the campaign. He appointed the defen- dant as he was assured he knew the district. Mr. Cheux turned out to have very little knowledge of the neighbourhood or to know anyone

not use a telephone, which had been expressly installed in his hotel sit ting room, and he seemed to spend a great deal too much time, with the opposing candidates or their friends
Moreover, said Captain Michell, the defendant was most dispiriting in his conversation, and offered to bet the witness 5 to 1 that he would not get in, which was extraordinary. Arrangements for holding meetings had to be made very quickly over a large area, the division extending nearly 50 miles, including the Scilly Islands, where there were 700 voters. The defendant left out one important town. was very slow, and required a great deal of
"nursing” in minor details of the campaign. Frequently he had to remonstrate with the defendant. which caused "a very severe chill" between his agent and himself.
In cross-examination Captain Michell said he palled 436 votes out of 28,000 electors. It was not the lowest in England.
Giving evidence, the defendant said it was ridiculous to say he could pot use the telephone. He had been an election agent six or seven times, and had received presentations." The plaintiff was absolutely unknown in the district, and had no committee nor anyone to support him. Captain Michell "put people against him by his commanding "quarter-deck man- ner," and could not expect any other result than the one which occurred.
Sir John Paget, K.C., held that the defendant had worked very as. siduously, and that the plaintiff's conduct made it exceedingly difficult to work for or with him. Judgment was given for the defendant on claim and counter-claim, with costs.
