-Act XIV of 1859, s. 1-Cause of Action—
Res Judicata.] A., a Hindu of Gya, died, leaving a sister B., and
C., the son of a deceased sister. On A.'s death, B. took posses-
sion of the property left by A. In a suit by C. against B. for
recovery of possession thereof, as heir to his maternal uncle, the
Court of first instance held that B. should retain possession of the
property during her life-time, without power of waste; and that
on her death, C. should be entitled to the possession thereof. This
was reversed by the High Court on appeal, who held that "the
decree should have been simply a decree of dismissal" of the
plaintiff's suit.

B. died, leaving an adopted son, D. C. sued D. for recovery of
possession of the property, the subject-matter of the former suit,
on the ground that D. was not the adopted son of B., and that C.,
"who came within the class of bandhus, was entitled to succeed to
the property left by A. and B., there being no nearer heir in
existence."

Held, that section 2, Act VIII of 1859, did not bar the suit.
BABOO MOHAN LAL BHAYA GYAL v. LACHMAN LAL...

-Res Judicata-Cause of Action.] In execu-
tion of a decree, the right, title, and interest of A. in a certain
property was sold and purchased by B. In execution of another
decree, the right, title, and interest of A. and C. in the same
property was sold and purchased by D. In a suit by A., the sale
to B. was set aside; but on appeal, the decision of the Court of first
instance was, upon consent of the parties, set aside, and the sale
allowed to stand good. D. sued for possession of the share of A.
and C. in the property purchased by him, and obtained a decree
for possession of the share of C. only. D. now sued to set aside
the sale to B. and for possession of the share of A. Held, that the
suit was not barred by section 2, Act VIII of 1859.

ss. 2, 110-Remand Non-appearance of Parties.]

another suit upon the same cause of action against the same
defendant.

-, s. 7-Cause of Action.] At a sale for arrears
of rent, A. became the purchaser of a certain patni talook. B.,
whose patni right had been sold, sued for and obtained a decree
for reversal of the sale on the ground of irregularity. In the mean-
time, A. had committed default, and the patni was again sold for
arrears of rent. The zemindar drew out from the Collectorate the
amount due to him. C., who had bought B.'s right, title, and
interest in his decree, now sued A. for recovery of the surplus pro-
ceeds of sale in the hands of the Collector, and obtained a decree.

He afterwards sued A. for mesne profits for the time during which
he was in possession of the patni talook. This was a suit by C.
against A. for recovery of the amount drawn out by the zemindar,
on the ground that, in consequence of A. having collected the rents
from the talook, which were to go towards payment of the rent due
to the zemindar, and having fraudulently withheld such payment,
he had sustained damage to the extent of the amount taken by
the zemindar.

Held, that the suit was barred by section 7, Act VIII of 1859.

cute or defend a suit in his own name.

A gomasta of a firm ceases to be a recognized agent under
clause 2, section 17, Act VIII of 1859, when the business of the

ss. 92, 96-Injunction-Compensation, Suit for-
Limitation Act (XIV of 1859), s. 1, cl. 2.] A. having brought a
suit against B., obtained and issued, on the 24th July 1868, an
injunction against him under section 92, Act VIII of 1859. The
suit was, on the 18th August 1868, dismissed; but no compensation
was awarded to B. under section 96 of Act VIII of 1859, in respect
of the injunction which had been issued against him. A. and B.
both appealed; the former against the decision dismissing his suit,
the latter for compensation. Both appeals were dismissed on the
23rd November 1869,-B.'s, because it was engrossed on a stamp
paper of the value of eight annas only.

B., on the 16th December 1869, then instituted a suit against A.
in the Small Cause Court, for damages in consequence of the injunc-
tion which A. had caused to issue against him in his suit.

Held, that B. was not debarred, by section 96 of Act VIII
of 1859, from instituting a suit against A. for damages, there not
having been an award of compensation under that section. The
cause of action accrued from the time at which the plaintiff was
first damaged by the wrongful injunction; continued as long as the
injunction remained in force; and limitation began to run as soon
as the injunction was at an end.
