Held that the fact that a federation of miners in inducing its members to break their contracts of service with their employers acted without malice and in the bona fide belief that the breach of contract would benefit both the miners and their employers, formed no defence to an action brought by the latter against the federation for damages for wrongfully procuring and inducing their workmen to break their contracts of service.
