IN
RE SIR J. R. CARNAC, DECEASED.
This was another case under the Settled Land Act, 1882, 8ection 37, find one which raised
a very singular question. By the will of the late Sir J. R. Carnac, governor of Bombay, certain plate of great value was bequeathed
to go as heirlooms, with the baronetcy. An application was made in Chambers under section 37 of the Act for leave to sell
the heirlooms, and Mr. Justice Chitty gave leave, holding that the baronetcy, as an incorporeal hereditament, was "land" within
the meaning of the Act. The point was now raised that the estate of a baronet in his dignity is a fee simple, and not a fee
tail, and a baronet, therefore, not a person having the powers of a tenant for life under the Act.
Mr. Macnaghten, Q.C.,
Mr. E. B. Mitchell, and Mr. J. G. Wood were the counsel appearing.
His LORDSHIP directed the question to be set down for
argument on Saturday the 2Oth inst.
LAW REPORT, June 18
JUDICAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL
(Present SIR
BARNES PEACOCK, SIR ROBERT COLLIER, SIR RICHARD COUCH and SIR ARTHUR HOBHOUSE.)
SRI KISREN AND OTHERS v. THE SECRETARY
OF STATE FOR INDIA IN COUNCIL.
This was an appeal, with cross-appeal, from a decree of the Judicial Commissioner of Oude,
of the 2d the of May, 1883. modifying, in favour of the respondent, a judgment of the District Judge of Lucknow.
Mr. J.
G, W. Sykes was counsel for the appellants; Mr , Mayne and Mr. C. C. Macrae for the Secretary of State,
The case arose
out of certain forgeries of and frauds relating to judicial stamps and Court fee labels, which, were practised at Lucknow
some years ago, and the suit was brought by the Government through the Deputy Commissioner of Lucknow, against Mohan Lal,
who was lad appointed treasurer of the Lucknow Treasury in 1869, and to against his surety, Baldeo Baksh to enforce performance
of a bond of security entered Into by them, by which they held themselves responsible to make good any losses or deficiencies
entailed upon the department by the treasurer, or his substitutes, or agents, The case came originally before the District
Judge of Lucknow, who gave as the Government a decree for 11,700 rupees. On appeal, the Judicial Commissioner awarded the
full amount of as the claim, 18,100 rupees. From this decision the parties appealed-the appellants, who are the sons of Mohan
Lal, whose death had occurred while the later proceedings were in progress, instituting their appeal on the merits of the
case and the respondent bringing a cross-appeal as to the disallowance of interest and costs.
For the appellants, it was
contended that the Lower Courts had misconstrued the agreement, which was not an undertaking by Mohan Lal to protect the Imperial
revenues against loss, but an agreement to answer to the Lucknow Treasury officers for Government property committed to his
charge, or that of substitutes, or agents (nominated by him. No loss or deficiency had arisen through Mohan Lals misconduct
or negligence, or of his agents, inasmuch as none of the parties to the frauds were nominated by him.
For the respondent,
It was argued that no true accounts of the stamps and labels committed to Mohan Lal's charge and misappropriated by others
had ever been rendered, as required by the agreement, and that If such had been forthcoming the ,appellants would have been
liable to make good a deficiency In excess of the amount claimed. It was further contended that the loss had accrued through
the conduct of persons appointed by Mohan Lal within the meaning of the agreement.
Their LORDSHIPS at the close of the
arguments, which lasted three days, gave judgement, affirming the decree of the Judicial Commissioner of Oude and dismissing
both the appeal and the cross appeal with costs.
