JUDGMENT

Lord Phillimore - Their Lordships have followed with care and with interests the very careful arguments put before them on both sides in this case, and in the circumstances they do not think it necessary to reserve consideration of the case in order to write an elaborate judgment. They think that the same conclusion which the Courts below have arrived at might possibly have been reached by simpler methods" but however that may be they see no reason to differ from the construction put upon this section in both Courts below, and therefore their Lord ships will humbly advise His Majesty that the principal appeal should be dismissed.
