369, n. 1, add: Grenville Murray v. Lord Clarendon, L. R. 9 Eq. 11, M. R. 382, n. 2, add: Where the plaintiff has rested the case for relief solely on the ground of fraud, he cannot, if he fails in establishing fraud, pick out, from the allegations in the bill, facts which might, if not put forward as proofs of fraud, have warranted the plaintiff in asking, and the Court in granting, relief. Hickson v. Lombard, L. R. 1 H. L. 324.

386, n. 4, add: Where the plaintiff was unable to fulfil an offer upon which the decree had been founded, the bill was dismissed, but without prejudice to any futtire proceedings which the plaintiff might think fit to take. Langton v. Waite, L. R. 4 Ch. Ap. 402, L.JJ.

Mortlock, 20 L. T., N. S. 773, V. C. S.; but see Seaton v. Grant, L. R. 2 Ch. Ap. 459, 464, L.JJ; if it is illusory, the plaintiff being indemnified by, and being the puppet of, some other person, who has instituted the suit for the purpose of annoyance and vexation; Robson v. Dodds, L. R. 8 Eq. 301; but see Fisher v. London Offices Company, W. N. (1870) 113, M. R.; and, as we have seen, if it is filed without authority, or without a next friend in the name of a person of unsound mind, or on behalf of a plaintiff who is falsely alleged to be of unsound mind.
