• Higgs v Schrader

  08 Apr 1878 3 CPD 252, DC

  PRACTICE — Solicitor and Client — Charging Order under 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, s. 28.
  LORD COLERIDGE, C.J. The whole object of the section is to give a discretion to the Court or judge before whom the matter is heard. Here, the cause was tried before my Brother Hawkins. He, therefore, was the proper person to make the order, being the only person who could exercise a discretion upon the merits of the case. HUDDLESTON, B., concurred.

• Usil v Brearley

  27 Feb 1878 3 CPD 206, CA

  PRACTICE — Security for Costs in Appeal — Rules of the Supreme Court, Order LVIII., Rule 15.
  COCKBURN, C.J. We think that this application should be acceded to, and that the plaintiff should find security for a moderate amount of costs. I think that in considering the question we are justified in taking into account not merely the pecuniary position of the plaintiff, but also the other circumstances of the case. If the Court were of opinion that the plaintiff had any reasonable ground for going on with his action, they should not allow mere poverty to stand in the way of his appeal. But we are justified in looking at the peculiar circumstances of the case;

• Morgan v Davies

  17 May 1878 3 CPD 260, DC

  LANDLORD AND TENANT — Notice to quit — Customary Half-year.
  GROVE, J. The Vice-Chancellor, in the case last cited, was dealing with the construction of an agreement, not with reference to a Feast-day tenancy. The whole thing depends upon custom. Eyre, B., in Doe d. Puddicombe v. Harris, cited arguendo in Right d. Flower v. Darby, assumes the customary notice to be from Feast day to Feast day; and the judgment in that case is very explicit to the same effect. Tindal, C.J., in Roe d. Durant v. Doe intimates the same opinion. I am therefore of opinion that the county court judge was right in holding the notice given
