properly affixed thereto : Taylor v. Ashton, Ex. 1843, 11 M. & W. SECT. 19. 401; 12 L. J. Ex. 363; 7 Jur. 978; Reese Silver Mining Co. v. Smith, H. L. 1869, L. R. 4 H. L. 64; 39 L. J. Ch. 849; Behn v. Burness, Ex. Ch. 1863, 3 B. & S. 751; 32 L. J. Q. B. 204; 9 Jur. N. S. 620; 8 L. T. 207.

But of course this would not be the case if the vendor had reasonable grounds, when selling, for believing that the trade mark was properly affixed: Collins v. Evans, Ex. Ch. 1844, D. & M. 669; 5 Q. B. 805; 13 L. J. Q. B. 180; 8 Jur. 345; Shrewsbury v. Blunt, C. P. 1841, 2 Man. & G. 475 ; Scott N. R. 588.

If fraud is relied upon, it must be distinctly alleged and proved : per Thesiger, L.J., in Davy v. Garrett, C. A. 1878, 7 Ch. D. 489; 47 L. J. Ch. 218; 38 L. T. N. S. 77; 26 W. R. 225. See also Barley v. Walford, Q. B. 1846, 9 Q. B. 197; 15 L. J. Q. B. 369, and Taylor v. Ashton, supra.

And it must also be shown that the misrepresentation actually induced the purchaser to purchase and so act to his prejudice: Smith v. Chadwick, C. A. 1881, 20 Ch. D. 27; 51 L. J. Ch. 597; 46 L. T. N. S. 702; 30 W. R. 661.

It is possible also that, irrespective of the above enactment, some cases of the sale of goods with trade marks might be brought within the rule that where the contract is to supply goods of a specified description which the buyer has no opportunity of inspecting, the goods must not only, in fact, answer the specific description, but must also be saleable under that description: Jones v. Just, Q. B. 1868, L. R. 3 Q. B. 196; 37 L. J. Q. B. 89 ; 18 L. T. N. S. 208; 16 W. R. 643; Bigge v. Parkinson, Ex. Ch. 1862, 7 H. & N. 995; 31 L. J. Ex. 301; 8 Jur. N. S. 1014; 7 L. T. N. S. 92; 10 W. R. 349.

Now, in addition to the above remedies, a warranty that the trade mark is genuine is to be deemed to be implied in the contract for sale of the goods to which it is affixed. This renders proof of fraud unnecessary.

Action on the Warranty.-When fraud is proved, the contract of sale is voidable, and the purchaser has a right to disaffirm it, and by returning the goods, to reinstate as far as possible the vendor, and if the goods have been paid for to recover back the price in an action for money had and received: Dawes v. Harness, C. P. 1874, L. R. 10 C. P. 166; 44 L. J. C. P. 194; 32 L. T.

SECT. 20, N. S. 159; 23 W. R. 398; Morrison v. Universal Marine Ins. Co., Ex. Ch. 1873, L. R. 8 Ex. 197; 42 L. J. Ex. 115; 21 W. R. 774; Clough v. L. & N. W. R. Co., Ex. Ch. 1871, L. R. 7 Ex. 26; 4г L. J. Ex. 17; 25 L. T. N. S. 708; 20 W. R. 187.

After 31st
December

If, however, the action be upon the implied warranty, the
purchaser cannot force the vendor to take back specific goods:
Street v. Blay, K. B., 1831, 2 B. & Ad. 456; Gompertz v. Denton,
Ex. Ch. 1832, 1 C. & M. 207; 1 D. P. C. 623; Dawson v. Collis,
C. P. 1851, 10 C. B. 523; 20 L. J. C. P. 116; Heyworth v.
Hutchinson, Q. B. 1867, L. R. 2 Q. B. 447 ; 36 L. J. Q. B. 270;
Poulton v.
Lattimore, K. B. 1829, 4 Man. & R. 208; 9 B. & C.

295.

But if, at the time of purchase, the goods were not ascertained, he can, on discovering the breach of warranty, refuse to receive them, or even send them back within a reasonable time: Street v. Blay, supra; Heilbutt v. Hickson, C. P. 1872, L. R. 7 C. P. 438; 41 L. J. C. P. 228; 27 L. T. N. S. 336; 20 W. R. 1035; Azemar v. Casella, Ex. Ch. 1867, L. R. 2 C. P. 677; 36 L. J. C. P. 263 ; 16 L. T. N. S. 571; 15 W. R. 998.

Measure of Damages. "When the thing sold has been returned, and no special loss has accrued, the damages consist of the price paid. If, however, no price has been paid the damages could, it is apprehended, be merely nominal. As the contract is rescinded, no claim for the price could ever be made, and the hypothesis assumes that no other injury has taken place:" Mayne on Damages, p. 180, and see Heilbutt v. Hickson, supra. "Where the article has not been returned, the measure of damage will be the difference between its value with the defect warranted against, and the value which it would have borne without the defect: Mayne, ibid.; Sedgwicke on Damages, p. 325; Jones v. Just, supra.

""

In other words, the damages will be the difference between the actual value of the goods sold, and what would have been their value if the trade mark had been genuine.

Injunction. The remedy by injunction was in its origin an equitable remedy, peculiar to the Court of Chancery. The jurisdiction rests upon the ground of injury to property, actual or prospective per Turner, L.J., in Att.-Gen. v. Sheffield Gas Consumers' Co., C. A. 1853, 4 De G. M. and G. 320; 22 L. J. Ch. 811 ; 17 Jur. N. S. 677; Emperor of Austria v. Day, C. A. 1861, 3 De G. F. and J. 253; 30 L. J. Ch. 690; 7 Jur. N. S. 639; 4 L. T. N. S. 494; 9 W. R. 712; and see Kerr on Injunctions, p. 1.

There is no jurisdiction to prevent by injunction the commission of illegal or criminal acts, unless they affect rights of property: Gee v. Pritchard, Eldon, L.C., 1818, 2 Swans. 413; Emperor of Austria v. Day, supra; Springhead Spinning Co. v. Riley, Malins, V.-C., 1868, L. R. 6 Eq. 551.

But, under certain circumstances, the courts of equity have been accustomed to interfere by injunction to enforce a right which the law acknowledges in principle to be a legal right, but which, owing to infirmity of legal process, the law cannot enforce : Emperor of Austria v. Day, supra; and see Kerr on Injunctions, p. 3. It was upon this ground that originally the Court of Chancery interfered to protect trade marks. Its interference was only ancillary to the legal right, and, as we have seen (see notes to sect. 1), the jurisdiction of the common law courts was founded upon the fraud of the defendant, which had to be pleaded and proved: Crawshay v. Thompson, C. P. 1842, 4 Man. & G. 357; 11 L. J. C. P. 301; Rodgers v. Nowill, C. P. 1847, 5 C. B. 109; 17 L. J. C. P. 52; 11 Jur. 1039; 10 L. T. 88; Edelsten v. Edelsten, Westbury, C., 1863, 1 De G. J. & S. 185; 9 Jur. N. S. 479; 7 L. T. N. S. 768; and see judgment of Mellish, L.J., in Singer Manufacturing Co. v. Wilson, C. A. 1876, 2 Ch. D. 453; 55 L. J. Ch. 490; 34 L. T. N. S. 863; 24 W. R. 1026.

Consequently, as a rule, before interfering by injunction, the courts of equity required the plaintiff first to prove his right in an action at law: Motley v. Downman, Cottenham, L.C., 1837, 3 My. & C. 1; 6 L. J. Ch. N. S. 308; Hine v. Lart, Shadwell, V.-C.,
