By Section 37 of the Solicitors (England)
Act, 1843, and by Section 2 of the Solicitors
(Ireland) Act, 1849, it is provided that " No
" attorney or solicitor .... shall com-
" mence or maintain any action or suit for
" the recovery of any fees, charges, or dis-
" bursements for any business done by such
" attorney or solicitor, until the expiration of
" one month after such attorney or solicitor
" . . . . shall have delivered unto the
" party to be charged therewith, or sent by
" the post or left for him at his counting-
" house, office, or dwellinghouse, or last-
" named place of abode, a bill of such fees,
" charges and disbursements," signed by such
attorney or solicitor, or enclosed in or
accompanied by a letter signed in either
manner referring to such bill.
In this case the appellant, Mr. J. W.
Browne, Solicitor, had brought an action,
which had been tried by the Common
Sergeant, to recover against a client, Mr.
Black, the amount of a bill of costs. The
defendant raised the defence that no signed
bill of costs had been delivered to him one
month before the action was commenced,
