ERRATA.

For headnote on page 13 substitute the following:

Defendant put forward his son and another as dummies to purchase toddy rents and deal with the Government Agent, but defendant was de facto renter, and the business was carried on under his sole control. He entered into an agreement with the plaintiff to pay him two-fifth share of the profits in consideration of plaintiff advancing to defendant moneys whenever required for the purpose of the business. Excise Notification No. 29 (1914) provided that the privilege of manufacture, sale, or any interest under the license issued to a renter shall not be sold, transferred, or subrented without the permission of the Government Agent.

Held, that the carrying on of the business by the defendant on the license issued to his son was illegal, and that the agreement between plaintiff and defendant was illegal, and that no action could be maintained on the agreement.
