COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons

Channell and Piggott.)
BUTLER V. KNIGHT.

Mr. Huddestone, Q. 0., appeared to-day in support of a
rule which he had obtained on Saturday calling on the
plaintiff to show cause why there should not be a non-suit
or a now trial on the ground, in the first instance, that
there was no case to go to a jury ; next, that the verdict
was inconsistent with and against the evidence. It ap-
peared that the plaintiff, Miss Butler, had brought an
action against a party named Brougb, in Staffordshire,
and that the defendant acted as her attorney in the suit.
She then commenced an action against the defendant on
the ground that he had Ni ilfully neglected to enforce a
judgment she had obtained in the first suit, and that he
entered into a settlement with the defendant Brough
against her instructions. The jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff, and awarded damages, which was another
ground why the learned counsel moved that the verdict
should be set aside. The learned counsel said that Mr.
Knight was one of th• most respectable professional men
in Staffordshire, and that the settlement he made was most
profitable to the plaintiff. He contended that all liabi-
lity on the part of an attorney ceased when his
client had obtained a judgment and cited, Archbold's
Practice, Chitty's edition, page 85, and several other
authorities, in support of his position. The verdict in the
first suit was for £3OO, and the compromise was for £lOO,
the attorney justifying what he had done by the fact that
the defendant had no effects and hie relations advanced the
money. The plaintiff recovered damages of £2OO against
the defendant in the present suit.
The Lord Chief Baron considered that the defendant
having received instructions from the plaintiff subsequent
to the judgment in the first suit, rendered him liable
for any act he did on her behalf. He quite
agreed with the learned counsel (Mr. Huddlestone),
that, except for the compromise he made, his client
would have got nothing ; but, in his opinion, he was
clearly liable to the consequences of what ho had done.
Ho thought, however, that the damages were excessive
under the circumstances, and suggested they should be re-
duced by £5O.
Mr. Powell, Q.O , on the part of the plaintiff, said that he
would communicate with his client, who would probably
accede to the suggestion of the learned judge.
The other judges concurred with his lordship, and the
case accordingly stands over until the plaintiff hits decided
in respect to the suggestion of the court.
