## Opinion text

I concur in the judgment of reversal, and in nearly all that is said in the opinion of Mr. Justice Lorigan; but I think that some of the quotations to be found in the opinion state that principle of law under discussion rather too broadly. It may be well to say, also, that it is quite likely that the respondent Smith did not intend to do any unlawful act, and that what he did probably inured to the benefit rather than the injury of the Pickle Works; but well established and just general principles of law can occasionally be invoked so as to work hardship in particular cases. *Page 370
