TE.MPLEMAN V. DAY.
CitANCKRY, July M.—Before Vice-chancellor Sir J.
Bacon—The plaintiff in this action is a retired trades-
man who formerly carried on business at East
Chinnock, near Yeovil, in Somersetshire, and the
defendant is a solicitor, practising at Bridp rt. It
appeared that for a number of years the plaintiff had
been in the habit of purchasing properties on mortgage,
and the defen 'ant a ted as his solicitor, and also
advanced money for the purchases. The statement of
claim impeached the accounts rendered by the solicitor
from 1873 down to the present time on the ground that
by exorcising undue influence over the plaintiff, the
defendant had induced him to sign accounts including
bills of cost, which bad never been delivered, and
chargb g Interests on bills of costs and compound
interest upon advances. Both plaintiff and defendant
were put into the witness box in support of their con.
tentions, and the defendant denied that he had charged
C 'mpound interest or interest on bills of costs ; his
explanation of the transaction was that when the
accounts were rendered the plaintiff had not the money
to pay the amount due, and induced the defendant to
capitalise the Interest on the debt, and to include the
bills of coati in the principal sum for which the security
was given, and that in that way the debt watt added to
from time to time am if Mr. Day had been actually
advancing additional sums of money, equal to the
amount Of the interests and oasts.
Mr. Glaese. Q.C., Mr. W. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr.
Dunda. Gardiner wers cotwel for the plaintiff ; and
Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. bic.Swinney for tl,e defen-
dant.
The Vice• Chancellor WAN of opinion that the plain.

cogs. The parties, it was true, were in the relation to
each other of solicitor and client as regarded some of
the transactions in question, hut as far as the advances
on mortgage were concern d, they were in the p sition

the case to support the charge that a solicitor h d
improperly exacted payment of interest upon his bill
of costa, but on the contrary. the amount of the cods

desire of the defendant, been added the principal
