tho death of Mrs: Walkers and Mrs York, their executors brought an notion against De Bernardy to have the agreement set amide and canolbi The plaintiffs impeached the agreement on several pounds, the principal being that it was against the policy of the law aud amounted to maintenanes and chataporty. Mr. Justice Bemor apheld the plaintiffs.con tention, and ordered that the rents on Ledying the agreument zhenld be cancelled and delivered up to them. It is true that he also held tluit the transaction could not stand on the other grounds on which it was attacked by the plaintiffs. Inasmuch as the decision in favour of the plaintiffs was in the first plane rested on one of those other grounds, it win suggested by Mr. Francis, in his argument for the plam- tiffs, that it was nanecessary for the loaned judga to daoile the question as to tho offeet upon the transaction of the den. trians relating to champerty, and that there. fore bie duoision on that point could not bo regarded as authoritative. But I am nable to admit the force of this contention. I appears to me that the burned judge, having decided the case on one of the other gronds might have said that it was therefore au- necessary for him to deal with the question of champerty, but, as he thought fit to haze bia decision in favour of the plaintiffs on that ground also, I aus of opinion that that decizia ie to the full as binding as the decision on the first point...
With roteranee to the question whether legal proceedings are probabla or are contemplated by the party setting up the agroenest, Mr. Justice Romer makes the following observa- tions But.bon it is arged on behalf of the defendant that in the present ones the agroc. meat come to was not contrary to the policy of the law because the property was in the hands of a public trastes, and no hostile proceedings to recerer it were Decessary. But, i opinion, in ouse of this kind the agrequent is not the less contrary to the galios of the law because the property is in the Jundle of trustees or in Court, and no hostile action may be noncaaty to recover it, thongh, perhaps, the criminal offence of champerty way hot have boot committed." And he refers to the cases of Stage v. Brennan, 15 Sim. 345 and Sprye . Porter, supra, as supporting this view.
In the present oase the sum alleged by the defendant as commission had been claimed from privuče, persons who had refused to recognize the claim, and the agreement made below thi parties olearly contemplatoil the probability of Iogal proceedings being jaken to oufores the elnini.
It was sub alan that the present: casa is this finguishable from the case of Reg ..De Bor nardy bɔsuuss in that ease the defondant went to the women with whom he zunde the agrse." nacot, while,ip this eas the defoudant of ais wwe occerd went to the plaintiffs and tuvited their co-operation. But it appears to me that the question for doterraization is not how tha contruct came to bo mudo, but what was iis affect when it was made.
Nor do I think it makes any differenon that in this eps under consideration, De Bernardy Wat to recover the property chimed by his own an
