  Subsequent citations: 1.
  PRACTICE — Service Out of the Jurisdiction — Injunction.
  COTTON, L.J.:— If an injunction were granted by an English Court that Court could not enforce it against the defendant himself, but only against his servants and agents in England, who are not the persons primarily responsible. On the other hand, a Scotch Court could enforce its orders against the defendant himself, and this being so, I think that there is no sufficient reason for withdrawing the case from the Scotch Courts. The application will therefore be refused. FRY, L.J., concurred.

  PRACTICE — Particulars of Demand — Discovery.
  COTTON, L.J.:— I am of opinion that this appeal is wrong. The Defendant must know of his own knowledge what furniture his wife had, the Plaintiffs, being only executors, cannot be supposed to have any such knowledge. The Plaintiffs put forward by their statement of claim a right to a certain class of articles, but cannot identity them. It may be right that before trial they should give particulars, but I think that their giving them ought to be postponed till the Defendant has given discovery. Where the Plaintiffs are executors who do not know, and the Defendant a person
