He could not be the second person because there are atleast two previous instances :

1. MCC v Kent 1857 2. Smokers v Non smoekers 1886-7

Err... I knew it off the top of the head because I made a similar error about Scotton in the Smokers v Non smokers (but I did confess that I was not sure!) and User:Loganberry corrected it Tintin 17:45, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
