There was an order binding over the leaders of the Salvation army to prevent them parading through the town for fear that it was very likely that a rival group would attack them as in previous instances.
-
The divisional court argued that since the Salvation Army’s march was lawful and did not attempt to cause any violence.
Therefore to stop them marching would be to punish a person doing a lawful act on the grounds that it would lead to another doing an unlawful act.
Therefore the order was quashed.
