ings with the defendant, or not to deal with the plaintiff.

He said: "I enlarge the words which were used by the late Master of the Rolls in Labouchere r. Dawson, 13 L. R. Eq. 322; from "eustomer," to "customer and correspondent," because it appears that a considerable part of the value of this trade depends, not upon persons who are distinctly customers, but up n agencies and correspondence; and, therefore, as this same principle applies to both, I think it only just to extend it."
