A QUESTION of considerable importance arose during last term in the Court of Queen's Bench, and has, we are informed, been argued this term, under the 42nd section of the Patent-law Amendment Act, 1852, viz. the section by which power is given to Courts of law to grant injunctions and account. The question was this-whether a patentee, who, having brought an action for damages, and gone on to trial, without moving for an injunction or account, has obtained a verdict with nominal damages only, can then obtain an order for an account of the profits made by the wrongful use of the invention. The Lord Chief Justice is reported to have intimated that the question would probably turn on what would have been the practice, before the act, as to supporting a bill in equity, if the plaintiff had commenced by bringing an action, and taking a verdict for nominal damages only, and to have thrown out a doubt whether, in such a case, a bill would lie. In this doubt we most entirely concur. We are not aware of any authority on the subject; indeed, it is most unlikely there should be any, because, under the old law, the almost universal practice was, if the patentee VOL. XVIII.

U

was doubtful, he was sent to law to establish it; and if he did establish it by a verdict, with nominal damages, then the Court of equity, being satisfied that he had a legal title, gave him what he had asked-the equitable relief of an injunction to prevent future infringement,. and an account of what the defendant had made by theuse of the invention.

It would not have been an inconsiderable argument in the days of Littleton and of Coke, that, from the circumstance of there being no instance of such a bill, it should be inferred that such a bill would not lie; but not resting much at this day on that species of argument, let us see whether, on principle, it could be supported.

The remedies sought by a bill for an injunction and account, and by an action for damages, are, in the first place, entirely dissimilar. By a bill, what the plaintiff says is this-" You have used my property; you have made profit in so doing, which you had no right to make for your own use; you are my trustee of that profit. I have a right to have it ascertained what profit you have made, and to have it paid to me; and I have a right to prevent your further use of my property." In an action the claim is "You have used my property, and you have done me injury thereby; it is immaterial whether you have made profit or not; you have done me damage to a given amount."

It is quite consistent with the principle of the bill, that when the plaintiff has been sent to law to try his title, and has established it, he should come back into equity and have his injunction and account, and that, whether he has recovered only nominal or substantial damages; for it being possible that there should be

damage ultra the profit made by the use of the inven- THE MARRIED WOMAN'S REVERSIONARY tion, there would be nothing in the fact of his recovering damages, to deprive him of the injunction and account, to which the result of the action shews that By this bill it is proposed to authorise "every mar he had a title at the time he filed his bill. But how-ried woman by deed to dispose of every future and reever that might have been in a case where, after filing a bill and moving for an injunction, the patentee had recovered substantial damages-a case which we believe has never arisen, because the invariable practice was to take a verdict only with nominal damages-there could be no doubt that, the action being brought under the direction or permission of the Court of equity, and to inform it whether the plaintiff had a legal title or not, it was quite and strictly consistent with the principle of the relief asked, that, after the recovery of a verdict with nominal damages, the plaintiff should have his account.

But if, on the other hand, a patentee had proceeded at law for damages, and recovered damages, on what ground could he then come into equity? The Court of equity gives an injunction, not to punish for the past, but to restrain for the future. If a patentee files his bill, alleging that he has recovered damages for the past infringement, and not alleging threats or danger of future infringement, on what would his equity rest? The very nature of the action involves the complete satisfaction of the wrong done to the plaintiff. Damages mean compensation for the injury. They must include the profit, if any, made by the defendant, (though they may also go further), otherwise they would not be damages for the wrong done. This would be clear if the damages recovered were substantial damages. Why, then, should it differ the case that they are nominal? In either case the plaintiff has recovered either what he considered, or what the jury considered for him, compensation for the wrong; and if after that he went into equity, equity would, we apprehend, consider the past wrong as accounted for, and decline to add to, or interfere with, the decision of the jury. It would hold that the plaintiff had elected his remedy; that he preferred damages to a mere account of profits; and that having obtained them, his old equity was gone.

Then that being so, his equity for an injunction failing, his equity for an account would fail on that ground alone, even if it did not fail on the ground that he had already had compensation; for equity holds that in cases of waste-and infringement of a patent is in the nature of waste-the account is ancillary to the injunction; if there is no title to an injunction, there can be none to an account. The rationality of this doctrine we are not called upon to defend; but that it is the doctrine of equity may be seen by consulting Parrott v. Palmer, (3 My. & K. 641).

The Queen has been pleased to appoint Alan Ker, Esq., to be Chief Justice for the Island of Nevis.

versionary interest, whether vested or contingent, of such married woman, or her husband in her right, as fully and effectually as she could do if she were a feme sole; and also to release and extinguish her right or equity to a settlement out of any personal estate to which she, or her husband in her right, may be entitled in possession, save and except that no such disposition, release, or extinguishment shall be valid unless the husband concur in the deed by which the same shall be effected, nor unless the deed be acknowledged by her as hereinafter directed:" the acknowledgment being that re quired in respect of land by the Fines and Recoveries Act, the whole of the provisions of which act, relating to dispositions of land by married women, including the provisions for dispensing with the husband's concur rence, are to be extended to dispositions under the proposed act.

This is, at the best, beginning at the wrong end of the chapter on the rights and disabilities of married women, The enabling married women to dispose of all their interests, whether vested or contingent, in real estate, was a necessary concession to the wants of society, which require that there should be as little obstruction as possible to the alienation of land. But no inconvenience to society can arise from tying up a married woman's reversionary interest in Consols, or in any other permanent fund; and the proposed bill would, without any assignable reason, other than the desire of conveyancers to break every fetter that is not specially forged by themselves, deprive many married women of an important protection against their own improvidence or their husbands' tyranny. It may be said that it may sometimes be beneficial to the wife to anticipate her reversion. Very possibly. So it may sometimes be desirable to upset any settlement. No arrangement for the future is certain to be the best possible; but unless we are prepared to abolish settlement altogether, it seems to be the wisest course to adhere to the letter of disability, unless, as in the case of land, there is some every settlement in favour at least of objects under clear reason of public policy for interfering. We repeat, that, in the majority of cases, it would be far more beneficial to the married woman to tie her hands than to loose them.

removed, let the first attack be made on those laws If any of the disabilities of married women are to be which make them the slaves of their husbands without even the slave's privilege of acquiring a peculium by their own industry, and on the law which, in the absence of settlement, gives their property to their husbands.

to a restraint on alienation; but that would be implied, The bill contains no exception of property subject as it is in the corresponding provisions of the Fines and Recoveries Act.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JURIST."

The Right Hon. Sir John Jervis, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court' of Common Pleas at COUNTY COURTS AND SUPERIOR COURT Westminster, has appointed the following Gentlemen to be Perpetual Commissioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women:Robert Withington Simonds, of Winchester, in and for the city of Winchester, also in and for the county of Hampshire; Robert Frederick Welchman, of Southam, Warwickshire, in and for the county of Warwick.

I beg leave to refer your correspondent "J. B. H." to the case of Winsor v. Dunford, (12 Ad. & El. 603; 12 Jur., part 1, p. 629), confirming the deci sion of the judge of the County Court of Cambridge in the previous case of Rance v. James, (12 Jur., part 1,

Your obedient servant,

A CONSTANT READER.

[Our correspondent " J. B. H." was probably thinking of the converse case of an action in a superior court on the judgment of a county court, which is not allowed, as being contrary to the policy of the County Courts Act. (Berkeley v. Elderkin, 1 El. & Bl. 805; 17 Jur., part 1, p. 1153; Austin v. Mills, 9 Exch. 287; 18 Jur., part 1, p. 16).-ED.]

Review.

A Manual for Articled Clerks, containing Courses of Study, as well in Common Law, Conveyancing, Equity, Bankruptcy, and Criminal Law, as in Constitutional, Roman, Civil, Ecclesiastical, Colonial, and International Laws, and Medical Jurisprudence; a Digest of all the Examination Questions, with the new General Rules, Forms of Articles of Clerkship, Notices, Affidarits, &c., and a List of the proper Stamps and Fees; being a comprehensive Guide to their successful Examination, Admission, and Practice as Attornies and Solicitors of the Superior Courts. Seventh Edition. By J. J. S. WHARTON, Esq., M. A., Oxon., Barrister at Law; Author of "The Law Lexicon," "An Exposition of the Laws relating to the Women of England," &c. 12mo. Pp. 511.

A SINGLE brick from this structure, properly considered, will give a very just idea of the whole. That which we first ran against was the following, in Wharton's Preface, p. viii:

to the Women of England; Wharton's Law Lexicon; Wharton's Principles and Practice of Conveyancing, (not yet published); Newland on Contracts, (published in 1806); Pope's Homer; Thomson's Seasons; Ivanhoe; The Merchant of Venice; Davy's Salmonia; and Carlyle on Chartism. While it recommends such elaborate works as Fearne's Remainders; Lewis on Perpetuity; and Marshall on Insurance, it gives no hint of the existence of Roper, Bright, M'Queen, or Bell on Husband and Wife; Phillips, Starkie, Taylor, or Best on Evidence; Jarman's or Davidson's Precedents in Conveyancing; Hayes's Introduction to Conveyancing; Hayes & Jarman's Forms of Wills; Smith's Leading Cases; Lewin or Hill on Trustees; or of the excellent elementary works on Real and Personal Property by Mr. Joshua Williams. To make amends, Mr. Wharton says, "A dictionary is very essential, and I do not ' hesitate to recommend my own Law Lexicon."

the title-page of courses of reading is a delusion. The There is no criticism on books, and the promise in bulk of the book is made up of compilations from the examination papers, (which we presume may be bought in a more complete form for less than 14s.), and a quantity of stuff which we do not know how to describe otherwise than by sample:

"British law is derived from the following sources: history, acts of Parliament, the reports, abridgments, and digests, treatises on the law of nature and of na'tions, treaties with foreign nations, treatises on the ' various branches of instituted law, magazines, and pe'riodicals. The numerous volumes in which these 'subjects are found constitute the bibliotheca legum of our country." (P. 24).

Judgments are contracts of record, and specialties are "instruments, not of record, but in writing, signed, 'sealed, and delivered by a party bound, to or for the Mr.benefit of the person to whom the liability is incur'red. Such are deeds, and of these some are convey"From the wonderful extent of our sway, shewn byances transferring the right to property, as a grant, 'the fact that the sun never sets upon the dominions 'of England, for when the great luminary departs from this country, and from Gibraltar, Sierra Leone, the 'islands of Ascension and St. Helena, which are almost longitudinally parallel with us, it rises upon New-or 'foundland, continues its course over the Northern 'Isles, Labrador, and Canada, passes on in its path of 'grandeur from Lake Superior to the West India Isles, 'travels to the island continent of Australia, then sheds 'its glories upon Ceylon, and proceeds over the exten'sive empire of Hindustan," &c.

release, feoffment, &c., and others are obligations charging or discharging property, as bonds." (P. 47). The information respecting bonds is repeated at p. 135, where we are told that "deeds which charge, discharge, enlarge property are-bond, recognisance, defeasance on a bond."

Simple or parol contracts "are neither of record nor under seal, and it makes no difference whether they are in writing or verbal, express or implied, except 'that a written and express contract is easier of proof." (P. 48). No hint of the Statute of Frauds.

The few who, like ourselves, have looked into "A Collision is a mercantile transaction. (P. 51). But Treatise on Universal Jurisprudence, by John Penfold the whole title of mercantile transactions is a gem. Thomas, Esq.," (2nd ed., 1829), and been dazzled by "With regard to mercantile transactions, so far as they his gorgeous dedication to his "august sovereign," are cognisable at the common law, they may be com(George IV), in whose "auspicious sway the age of 'prised under these heads, viz.

Thomas's dedication to his fat friend is followed by a " Proëm," in which he says, "Neckar had too much reason reproachfully to describe us as 'Les Anglais sorties depuis long temps des écoles de la philosophie legislative""_ a sentence which Mr. Wharton also appropriates, and appends as a tag to the geographical plunder. Time was when a Thomas would have been deemed safe from literary robbery:-" cantabit vaccuus." But Juvenal knew not Wharton.

For the benefit of those who may not see the full significance of the foregoing specimen, we will go a little deeper into the book. It professes to contain courses of study; what they are like may be readily guessed from an inspection of the author's index of "books cited, criticised, and recommended." The list

"There are three modes of acquiring a title to realty : 'first, by operation of law; secondly, by purchase, as contradistinguished from law; thirdly, by law and purchase.

The Lord Chancellor, under the powers of the 16 & 17 Vict. c. 78, intituled "An Act relating to the Appointment of Persons to administer Oaths in Chancery, and to Affidavits made for Purposes connected with Registration," has appointed the following gentlemen to be Commissioners for administering Oaths in Chancery:To be London Commissioners.

Relief against Forfeiture.-" Equity will only give relief on breaches of covenant provided the omission and consequent forfeiture are the effect of inevitable accident, and the injury and inconvenience occasioned thereby is capable of complete recompence; but when 'the transgression is wilful, or the compensation impracticable, equity will refuse to interfere, as in the · case of a lessee not insuring pursuant to covenant, or to excuse him from the payment of rent, the premises inn. being burnt down, for he ought to have protected himself by a special covenant. Forfeitures on bonds and covenants are also relievable in equity, on the ground that accident alone has prevented their ful'filment." (P. 177).

In the chapter on Medical Jurisprudence ("a science interesting and serviceable, it teaches us the economy of our physical machinery, and the mental and bodily 'imperfection of our frail nature"-Pref., p. ix) we are told that "the animal poisons are Cantharides (Spanish fly) and poisonous articles of food;" and that "narcotic" is a synonym of "excharotic" [caustic.] (P. 450).

The above extracts will enable our readers to warn their young friends against wasting their money and time on "The Articled Clerk's Manual." If we are asked what book of advice they should buy, we answer that we do not know any one of very recent date. The first edition of Mr. Warren's Introduction to Law Studies (1835) is, on the whole, the best. With all its faults it contains much sound advice, and is better adapted than any book we know to elevate the beginner's views of his profession, and excite his industry and emulation. The second edition (1845) is greatly overdone, and by no means so well fitted for its purpose as the first. Mr. Warren's selection of books is too voluminous, and now somewhat obsolete. As we do not know where a course of elementary reading, adapted to the present state of the law and its literature, is to be found, we will here give a list of the best elementary books, in the order in which they should be read:

Stephen's Commentaries, (this is very inferior to Blackstone, but there is no good edition of Blackstone of very recent date-Blackstone, by Stewart, should be avoided); Williams's Law of Real Property; Williams's Law of Personal Property; Hayes's Introduction to Conveyancing; J. W. Smith's Compendium of Mercantile Law; Adams on the Doctrine of Equity, (an excellent work, though little known); J. W. Smith's Law of Contracts; J. W. Smith's Elementary View of the Proceedings in an Action at Law, (a new edition is promised); and Best's Principles of the Law of Evidence.

We do not recommend any books on law or equity pleading and practice. The articled clerk will find in Stephens, Smith, (action at law), and Adams, sufficient elementary information on these subjects to illustrate his office practice, and should postpone a deeper study until he has finished the course mentioned above, when probably he will find the existing systems very much changed, and will have to learn from books yet

unwritten.
