• Me! Wilkinson said "that. Mr. Wainewright Bad himself shown how he was in the habit of making advances in Mr. Begjamin...

Mr. Wainewright It is not to be understood that I was in the habit of making advances to him antecedent to this agreement. I showed bow I had on two occasions incurred liabilities on his behalf. Then again, Mr. Wilkinson insers that Mr. Benjamin did not know what he was doing when he entered into the agreement. which he never understond perfectly; that be relied unduly upon the solicitor yet certainly he never proved that Mr. Benjamin was in the position of the aged widow in the case cited and I most strongly object to the inputation,

His lordship think Mr. Wilkinson only infers that the extent of the favours for, which Mr. Benjamin was indebted to you brought him under influence that he would not otherwise have

felt.

Mr. Wainewright-I had influence over him certainly, yet noi enough to make him sign over "any amount of modey might mention to him. and reftainly not to influence him to pay money without an equivalent. He was too shrewd and sensible a busiucas man for that. In the case of Pebes, 35, CD, the client asked to have the "bill of ghsts taxed and the solicitor paid no atten- tim to him. As far re Boycott and re Norman, also Russell, Son & Scott, 30, C.D., it is not worth while taking up the time of the court with then; but [-sny, my lord, that the cases do not furnish either parallel or analogy to the present case." "The was all agreement made, directly ethered into by Mr. Benjamin, himself, for he himgil said sol, and this after the'event, when he knew what was the result of my exertions; he recognized the agreement, and ratified it, and no thought of its being invalid ever entered his 'mind, or mine either, and now after he had allowed" iĻtoʻstand for fully two-and-a-quatter | years a third person, comes in and says it shall

not aland. There is no precedent for such course of proceedings as these, and no ground

of action, for an action can be sustained on the motion of a representative of the party interested in the agreement only, and this was certified by the court. This does not mean that a third party can come into court and have the agreciment set aside. Either the client or the representative of the client only can come into court for such a jurpose, and not a hungry creditor.. Section 10, before cited, refers to the time within which

Mr. Wilkinson-But solicitors' bills of costs have been taxed in this Court, so there is no force in that again.
