Saturday, January 25, 1845. No. 421-VOL. IX. FEB. 1, 1845. Price 18.-with Supplement 28. The following are the Names of the Gentlemen who favour THE JURIST with Reports of Cases argued and decided in the several Courts of Law and Equity: A QUESTION of considerable importance has been lately raised in bankruptcy, whether a solicitor, having a hen upon deeds of his client in his hands before the client's bankruptcy, is bound to give to the assignees inspection of the deeds. We are not aware that the point has been ever specifically decided*, though there are numerous decisions which bear very closely upon it. The general rule is, undoubtedly, that a solicitor has a lien for his costs upon papers of the client in his hands. This proposition is too clear to require a reference to any authorities. But the question is, what is the natare of the lien? Is it a mere right to refuse to part absolutely with the parchment, or is it a right to withhold knowledge of its contents? In a case in equity, (Brassington v. Brassington, 1 Sim. & Stu. 455), the plaintiff, Martha Brassington, filed a bill against her husband, to enforce a settlement made by him in contemplation of the marriage. The deed itself was in the possession of a person who held it as solicitor, on behalf of the executor of the solicitor who prepared it for the husband. It was, therefore, in effect, in the hands of the solicitor of the defendant, who had a lien upon it for his costs; and he, being made a witness in the cause on behalf of the plaintiff to prove the deed, refused to produce it. He was, however, ordered to produce it in the cause. The court said, "It would be very extraordinary if a deed by which property is conveyed were to be of no effect, because the party who executed the deed did not choose to pay his solicitor's bill. It may be reasonable that the husband, if calling for the deed for his own purposes, should not have access to it until the solicitor's claim was satisfied; but to refuse to produce it as a witness for the other party, cannot be justi * Ex parte Caldecott, (Mont. 55), which we shall presently notice, does not decide it. C VOL. IX. fied." This case is very like the one under discussion. The wife was a purchaser from the husband, as the assignees of a bankrupt are purchasers from him. It was manifest, also, in that case, (as it would be in a case between a solicitor and the assignees of his bankrupt client), that, if the solicitor was to be obliged, in every dealing between his client and a stranger claiming through him, to produce the deed so as to establish the stranger's rights, the whole force of his lien might be exhausted, because the whole virtue of lien is in general to compel the debtor to pay his debt, by depriving him, until he does so, of the means of satisfying those with whom he is dealing that he is possessed of given rights. The case of Ex parte Caldecott (Mont. 55) seems consistent with Brassington v. Brassington. In that case, it appears to have been the opinion of Lord Lyndhurst, C., firstly, that a mortgagee cannot withhold inspection of the mortgage-deed from the assignees of the bankrupt mortgagor; and, secondly, that the mortgagee's solicitor could not refuse production of the deed to the mortgagor's assignees, on the ground of his lien against the mortgagee. The determination on the first point does not necessarily affect the question of lien, because a mortgagee taking an estate is not deprived of his security by giving inspection of the deed. Generally speaking, his right is just as available after doing so as it was before; but, as it has never been decided that a solicitor's lien amounts to an estate in the lands comprised in the deeds, and as it has never been considered as more than a right of retainer of some kind, it is obvious, that, if the right of retainer does not extend to shutting out knowledge of the contents, as evidence of the owner's title, it is a right affording the slightest imaginable protection. With regard to the right of a solicitor to retain his client's papers for costs incurred in the conduct of a PAP suit, there seems to be this distinction: if the client discharges the solicitor, the solicitor's right, by way of lien, extends to refusing the use of the papers to the client through his next solicitor; (Lord v. Wormleighton, Jac. 580; Bozon v. Bolland, 4 My. & C. 159, per Lord Cottenham); but, if the solicitor refuses to continue to act, then, although he retains his lien in theory, he loses all the value of it in practice, being bound to give to the client the benefit of the use of the papers. (Colegrave v. Manley, 3 My. & C. 183). being purchasers of the interest of the bankrupt in the papers. There are numerous other cases on this subject; but those which we have cited represent the leading classes, and the result of them seems to be, that there is no very certain principle on which to proceed. If we might hazard a suggestion, it would be, that, in the sort of case under consideration, the doctrine of Brassington v. Brassington would prevail, and that a solicitor's lien on the papers of a bankrupt client extends only, as against The principle of these cases seems very distinct from the assignees, to the right of refusing absolutely to part that of the case first cited. In Brassington v. Brass-with them, and gives no right to refuse production and ington, and, we submit, also, in Ex parte Caldecott, the ground of the decision seems to have been, that the lien of a solicitor for his costs cannot be allowed to destroy, or, at least, neutralise, the effect of a deed, as a transfer of property, as against the rights of a third person claiming under the grantor. inspection of their contents. But we conclude as we commenced, by stating, that we believe the point has not been determined; and the doctrine limiting the lien is so manifestly destructive of its whole value, that arguments addressed to common sense and policy would certainly not be wanting in favour of the more extended The principle of the class of cases secondly referred | right. to, is one depending on the contract between the solicitor and his client, viz. that, on the one hand, the client shall not be permitted to induce his solicitor, by retaining him, to incur the outlay incidental to his employment of conducting a suit, and then to discharge him, depriving him of the best, indeed, perhaps, the only, security he can have for his costs; and, on the other hand, that the solicitor shall not, after leading his client into the middle of a suit, abandon him to his fate, and, at the same time, force him to immediate payment of his costs, or deprive him of the means of going on with the suit. The case of a solicitor whose client becomes bankrupt, and who has in his hands papers of the client on which he has a lien for his costs, appears much more similar in principle to Brassington v. Brassington, than to the cases upon the lien of a solicitor on the papers in a suit. Correspondence. TO THE EDITOR OF THE JURIST.

The court gave judgment in the following cases:Jan. 30.-Parnell v. Smith.-Rule absolute for new trial, unless the parties agree upon a case. Pitcher v. Vickers.-Refused. 31.-Adams v. Adams.—Judgment for plaintiff. Cases selected from the Special Paper of Saturday, Graham v. Lynes It has, however, been decided, that, where a solicitor is employed in a cause, and the client becomes bankrupt, although the assignees do not continue to employ him, he shall be bound to produce the papers in the Master's Office in the cause, but he will not be bound to produce them or deliver them up in any other mat- Jan. ter. (Ross v. Laughton, 1 Ves. & B. 349). The distinction here taken seems inconsistent with the principle of Brassington v. Brassington; for in Ross v. Laughton there could be no question of whether the solicitor discharged the client, or the client the solicitor. The client, by his bankruptcy, put an end to his interest in the suit by transferring it to his assignees. His interest in the papers and deeds in the suit was transferred to his assignees as purchasers. The right of the assignees to have the use of the papers could not, therefore, rest (as in Colegrave v. Manley, cited supra) on the contract between the solicitor and client, and must have rested, if it existed at all, upon the same ground as in Brassington v. Brassington,-that the lien of a solicitor shall not be allowed to affect the practical validity or efficacy of instruments formerly the client's, when the title to them has passed to purchasers. And if on this principle the positive part of the order in Ross v. Laughton was based, it is difficult to reconcile with it the subsequent part of the order in the same case; because the right of the assignees to have the use of the papers did not depend on their being parties to the suit, or on any implied contract between them and the solicitors, but on their Findon v.
