Even if it had been proved that the advance did put Mr Ward in funds, and that the possession of funds did enable him to com pete more vigorously, and that such compe tition injured respondents' business, we should consider the injury too remote to give a right of action. To come now to the second alleged breach—the output contract. Here, also, the case is put on the double ground—a breach of the specific provisions and of the general clause. It is said that the agreement to take practically all the sheep Mr Ward may freeze at his Ocean Beach works is on the part of the appel lants a breach of the specific prohibition. An agreement to take all a manufacturer's output at current rates would necessarily be an assistance to him. *An agreement to take it, as in the present case, at a fixed price, might or might not be so. It would depend on prices rising or falling. But the prohibition as we read it is not against assisting freezing works, it is assisting or being concerned or interested in their erec tion or use. There is no question of erection; the breach must be confined to the assisting in or being concerned or interested in the use of the works. We are inclined to think that "assist" should be read as confined to "erection," and concerned and interested to " use" ; but it i 3 not necessary to say so decidedly. We are not helped in arriving at the meaning of these words by references to cases decided on covenants in restraint of trade or on special statutes. We must give them the meaning which they would receive in ordinary commercial tran sactions. From any point of view they can not apply to such an agreement as the pre sent. It one undertakes to buy all the produce a man can grow on his farm, how does such a person in any ordinary meaning of the words use, or assist him to use, bis farm; and how is he concerned or interested in its use ? If one buys up a manufacturer's stock, it probably assists him, and the party buying is interested in the stock; out is he interested or concerned in his factory ? No business man would say so.
