Note 12 — LORD ST LEONARDS.[8]

Lord Eldon once sent for Mr Sugden into his private room, during the argument of an important case in which he was not concerned, to ask his opinion concerning the main point of law involved in it—relating, if we are correctly informed, to “springing uses.” Mr Sugden’s impression differed from that of Lord Eldon, who ultimately yielded to Mr Sugden’s.
