It is provided by the constitution of the Society that the insured shall be free from all responsibility; and to guarantee the engagements of the office, a fund of 550,0001. has been subscribed by a numerous and opu lent proprietary, which fund has been further increased by the accumu lation of an additional reserve, now amounting to 96,8001. Returns of three-fifths of the profits of the Company are periodically made to parties insuring, who have thus from time to time received from the Society sums amounting in the aggregate to nearly 380,0001.

The rates of premium are in no case higher than those charged by the other principal offices making no returns to their insurers.

The business of the Company exceeds 62,000,000., and, owing to the

liberality with which its engagements have been performed, is rapidly increasing. The duty paid to Government for the year 1852 was 74,0371. 98. 11d.; and the amount insured on farming stock was up

OF INJUNCTIONS. (Continued from p. 368).

906

There is a class of cases in which the doctrine of relief against fraud has been carried to an extent which seems almost to defeat the very object of that doctrine, and to repress fraud in one party by supporting it in another. I allude to the cases in which persons having concealed the truth, or made false representations respecting their legal and fair claims, for the purpose of enabling fraud to be committed upon others, or upon the policy of the law, have been restrained by equity from afterwards enforcing their claims, even as between themselves and the parties to the fraud. (Gale v. Lindo, 1 Vern. 475; Id. 348; Montefiori v. Montefiori, 1 W. Bl. 363; see also Lamlee v. Hanman, 2 Vern. 466, and Turton v. Benson, Id. 764; 1 P. Wms. 496).

But in cases of this kind, where equities are equal, the rule "Qui prior est in tempore potior est in jure" applies. (Roberts v. Roberts, 3 P. Wms. 66).

In some of the cases above mentioned it is to be observed that the instruments given were originally without valuable consideration, and the transaction altogether based on a fraudulent purpose; but the leading case on this subject is Neville v. Wilkinson, (1 Bro. C. C., App., 543), in which the legal title was originally fair, and based on a valuable consideration, and yet the plaintiff at law was deprived in equity of the benefit of such his legal title, because he had so dealt with it as to make it an instrument of fraud on a third party. In that case the defendant was the plaintiff's solicitor, and, having had various pecuniary transactions with him, had claims against him for a valuable consideration to a considerable amount. On the occasion of the plaintiff's negotiations for a marriage with the daughter of Robinson, the defendant was induced by the persuasions of the plaintiff to make to Robinson a false representation of the plaintiff's debts, and in particular to conceal the VOL. XVIII.

debt to himself. It did not appear that the extent of the plaintiff's debts was a condition of the father's consent. The Lord Chancellor said the defendant confessed a confederacy to cheat Robinson, and he would not lay it down as a rule, that fraud in cases of that nature must be upon an article expressly contracted for; and granted an injunction to restrain the defendant from proceeding to recover any debt due before the marriage of Neville, except certain claims agreed upon between the parties; and he delivered his opinion that the defendant could not ever recover that debt against the plaintiff. (See also, as to the effect of a private agreement in fraud of a marriage contract, Palmer v. Neave, 11 Ves. 165).

We take now, out of its order, the subject of injunctions to restrain infringement of patents, as a subject on which, perhaps, the earliest use of the common-law jurisdiction, by way of injunction, is likely to be exercised.

In order to prevent irreparable mischief, or to suppress multiplicity of suits and vexatious litigation, equity interferes by injunction to restrain the infringement of alleged patent rights for inventions. (Vide 2 Story's Eq. Jur. 209; Jer. Eq. Jur., b. 3, c. 2, s. 1, p. 327; 1 Fonb. Eq. 34, notis). The jurisdiction, in restraining the infringement of patents, is in aid of a legal right; the plaintiff coming to the Court on the assumption that he has a legal right, and the Court granting its assistance on that ground. (Per Lord Cottenham, C., in Bacon v. Jones, 4 My. & C. 436).

At the present day it is not generally necessary that the plaintiff should establish his right at law in order to come into equity, the right appearing primâ facie on record by the letters-patent. (Mitf. Pl. 147; Hicks v. Raincock, Dick, 647; and see 2 Atk. 391; Anon., 1 Ves. sen. 476). See the case of The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge v. Richardson, (6 Ves. 689, 707), where the principle in regard to patents is stated to be, that if a party gets his patent and pu's his invention in

JUR

execution, and has proceeded to a sale, that may be called possession under it. However doubtful it may be whether the patent can be sustained, equity will hold that possession under a colour of title is ground enough to enjoin, and to continue the injunction till it shall be proved at law that it is only colour, and not real

title.

(To be continued).
