From the affidavits of the plain dis, it appeared, th it in 1791 Mr. O'Keefe wrote the •omr,ly of Illid Oats, which was published in 179.1. In the month of August last, • Mr. O'Keefe, (who is still living) by assignment, gassed his interest in the copyright of that play to the plaintiffs. In 1795, Mr. Cumberland wrote the play called The ll'heel of Fur- I. tre. the copyright of which the plaintiffs purchas d Cr a certain sum of (none). Mr. Thompson also sold to the plaintiffs a play, which he altered from the o:crrnan, called The Straver, and which they the l'Aintiffs have published. The ilefenda-its are book sellers and printers, and they have recently printed a , t 1 published, without the permission of the plain tiffs, copies of these several plays. Under the se cir eumstances, it was submitted, the Court would feel no difficulty in restraining the defendants from printing and pnblishinl,• Ike same. The Loan Cilioseci.Los.-I)ce the affidavits state, Oat the interest of each of these works is vested in tne,plaintiffs by deed ? Mr. SII.triIVIII.L.—The first work w•as assielted to t.c plaintiffs by deed—with regard to the two others tr.e plaintiffs have cnly an equitable interest—not as interest by an assignment made to them. They have raid the money, which they agreed with the authors to sive, and this, 1 apprehend, confers upon them as • qu.tahle light to protect the property f.oiti invasion —when money has been paid, this Conti considers it such a proof' of contract, that it has always 'larded the interest of the party, who has so paid his lit 111• V. - . . . .

Unless an assirnment has bees road, by deed, the Court of King's Bench will say eiere is no interest to be affected. llonever, as the question will be more fully heard, you may take the f..junction.

The following cue occupied almost the whole of the day : Joseph Carrick, a citizen of the United States of America, was brought up to be beard on his petition to be discharged. His discharge was opposed by Mr. death, on the part of George Law, another citizen of the United States, to whom the insolvent was indebted, and who followed him to this country, and had him arrested soon after his arrival in May last. 'I he in• solvent underwent an examination of npwards of three boars by Mr. Heath, the object of which was to shew that he bail property of various kinds in America, which he hail not put into the schedule. It appeared from the examination, that the insolvent had been an extensive speculator in both lands and shipping, and that he had in sonic way, either as a principal or agent, been largely concerned in a species of privateering, which it appeared had been carried on in a manner that was characterised by the Conn as the most illegal I piracy that hail met. existed ; for it was admitted by the insolvent, that the vessel+ engaged in it, after having made captures under the bag of a power in whose territories one of the partners was resident, would, when it appeared to be the more profitable apt culation, change their names and cot JJJJJ :indent, and as the property of the subje. to of an. liovernment, • capture the vessels belonging to tile state by wheels ! they had been lately protected ; and our 'great object of the insolvent's examination was to sheer, that Le hail been a principal in those proceedings, anal that he was now possessed, or had a claim on part, of the ca -1 pile! by which they h heen carried on. The insolvent admitted that he had been tried and Ifound guilty is America for being concerned in those trans tetions, but insisted that lie was only eniployell as .n agent, and that MARIO dollars he had advanced to Commodore Taylor for the purchase of vessels, was given as a luau merely. The itiAalvent also stated, that about twit years and a half ago, he purchased all I rst ate of about three !bonsai' I twu hundred acre. of hand, 1% Islets, being then solvent and in waver:ins circuit...wires, he setthoi on his • iti, which settlement it was stated, stands g ood by the laws uf although§ made without trustees. It Ora appeared by the examinatiou, that the insolveett had other lauds in the Illinois territory, which lie haul di posed •f alltint the time of his stopping payment, but he use I that lie had applied the whole proceeds to the payment I of his debts, and there being no evidence of any cc nrealiairnt of property, the Court ordered that i.e should return the property whirl. lie hail settled on his ife in the Illinois territory iit selleibile, to I e tr. covered for the benefit of his creditors (if possible), and that be should be disrliar zed. COURT OF MON PLEAS, I REL 011).—At the sit tings brio Nurbury, before Term, a building case. of co able imp„ lance. was tried, in wb'rh Mr. W. hi as plaintiff, and 11. T. Hallow., Esq. was defendant. The Jury was a most respectable one of this city, and`the trial lasted for four days. The action was brought for tie expence of building the beautiful l'ourt-house of Dundalk, according to the designs and drawings of Mr. Park, the Architect t and the contract was, that Mr. Moore Aosta bandit is three years, fur 141,190/.; but in consequence of alter ations and improvements ordered in the progrePs of the' 'work, and the withholding the stipulated advanets to 'dr. 31oorr, it was delayed much long,er than the three years, and the expenee consicierahly increased — 1 Lt was to recover this increase of csprnee, amotinting l to several thonsands of pounds, that Mr. Moore, brought his action against Mr. Balfour, as one of the Committee of geneemen who contracted %%ilk him. The ileUndant resisted the action on the grounds suggested by their inspectiug architect, a Mr. Roden, that the contract was not executed in time, and the work baitly done ; and also on same technical objec tions in pint 01'6W—when an examination of witnesses for the plaintil took place, which lasted three days, and it was clearly established, that the completion of the building was delayed by the variations fru& the original plan, and several caprici us directions given by thzir architect ; and also that the work was done in a workman-like manner, as far as was possible, con sistent with those inferences of Mr. Roden. When the plaintiff had 'nearly closed his rase, a proposal cave frum the defendant, that a sum of 3,500/. should be paid, in addition to 14,51.10/. already received by the plaintiff in the progress of the work. The plaintiff's counsel advised Mr. Moore to accede thereto, in con sequence of threats being held ow of a Bill of Escep tions, which would bring the case before the Court of Errors, and dirtier to the House of Lords! A verdict was therefore had. by consent, for the plaintiff—Da mages, 3,5011/. with costs. Et t'at'•4ll l'srovassret,—The Moral Philosophy class was opened on 'Tuesday by Prof ssor Wilson.— " The stuciety of the publir, - it is said, " to hear the inaugural discourse of this distinznislied individual was so intense, that in hone before the liner of sneei ing, the stair and passage leading to the lecture-ruins were filled; and the numbers increased so rapidly Cut it berame neerssary to choose a noire capacious room.

After sailing over the Croker Mountains of Captain Ross, Lieutenant Parry gave to the continuation of Lancaster's Sound the name of Harrow's Sound. On the north side of Barrow's Sound, the ►oyagers discovered a broad channel, up which they could not discry any land, though the weather was clear and favourable. To the land bounded on the west by this unexplored channel, and on the south by the Sound, the name of Sew Devon was given. Nearly oppo site the channel, i. e. on the south side of the Sound, they met with another broad inlet (nearly as br.tad it seemed, as the sound itself,) un which the name of Regent's Inlet was bestowed. The expedition sailed up this inlet a considerable way. The land opposite to New• Devon was denominated New Somerset. Many whales and seals were seen *hoot this part. Other places discovered, received names in honour of Major Re - mien, Captain Sabine, and others. Among the curious disco Aeries made, was an Ame rican musk us, on Melville Ishttol, the principal of the group of islands, in a rove of which this enter prising navigator wintered in 1,19. This animal has a large head and shaggy mane, resembling the It was the only one of the species seen during the stay of the expedition at that island. A white hare was the only small animal which was met with. It was found uf another island. Parttillges were seen in "Teat numbers, and the newly-discovered islands also abounded with florescent plants of different auk •n species. Ihe loth, of which some vestiges remain, are pies ql to have belonged to some F.squimaux, whom chance or enterprise may have carried into those inhospitahle regions. Numerous dresses, ratifies, ke. have also been brought over from Baffin's Bay, which are constructed with astonishing natural genius, in dustry, anti neatness. We mentioned the only serious casualty which befel during. the wintering of the crews in these high lath. • tulles. Nevertheless the mold was rri intense. that the utmost rare was necessary to prevent fatal conse quences. An idea of this may -- be formed from the fact that a servant of ('apt. Sabine's. on some alarm of lire, ran into the air without c..vcring his band— it was immediately frost•bitteu, and the poor lest Shier of his lingers.

St. Jante,C% constable, nar 'rut fur and lodged the ac rased in the hated-house. It W4ll stated that the defendant, who received his half-pay at the Ordnance Offive, frequently went there disguised as a e.)al hearer, at other times a country man in a round hat, Scr. and that the chill he bad left was his own, and he bad gut it away clandestinely from h,s wife's lodgings, as they were not at present *Tin together. The defendant's look was wild, and hie manner incoherent, but as the child was restored to the mother, who was present, he was informed by the Magistrate that if he did nut take care he would be in a madhouse, or a prison. Ile was dis charged. Braut..tay.—.l man named Yeoman, alias Joyce, was charged with a burglary in the house of Mr Daumage, cheesemonger, in King-street, Seven Dials, on Sunday evening. Mr. Ilammage left his parlours fastened at six o'clock on Sunday evening, and lie returned from divine service at eight, when he discovered that the parlour door had been broken open, and an i box cuniaining Slit. in slyer, was stolen from under the bed. The suspicion against the prisoner was that lie had been in and out of the 'souse more than final during the absence of the prosecutor the two hums ; that on S. Furzeman and Roberts examining him, they found IS keys upon him, one of which open ed a d rawer w hi. : l l had been unlocked in the parlour, and u hieh fitted no tither lock in the house.

Unfortu nately he had given a receipt to Green, which, of rourse, gave a valility to the transaction, and pre vented any criminal proriecution. . 11 µicirrom .-0 11 Thursday the Collector of the Port of Shoreham, before the Sitting Magistrates, Parker, and J. 11. Bates, F:sqrs., two brothers, John and Jatnes . Parsons, and a third named Sawyer, the crew of the Bristol racket, in which vessel, nine teen packages of 'tea had been found, making in time aggregate thirty-seven pounds, contrary to time statute in snrh cases made and provided, as touching that &rain The penalty upon the crew severally woniel have been upon conviction, one hundred pounds, or time year's service in his Majesty's nary. T he prose cution was grounded upon the 45th and 47th of the late king, which was sufficiently explicit, but which made all exception to square rigged vessels, as well as to tea that might have been taken on board from any port in Ireland. The plea set up, and which sir cupietlithe Bench for some hours, was, that the Bristol packet, or sehrooner, came under time denomination of square rigged vessels, and many nautical characters were called, who, upon oath, agreed upon that point, and thereby, put it out of the power of the Magi strates to ark,urlicate upon the case, beyond that of or dering the discharge of the prisoners, and they were discharg. el accore:ingly. The absence of Serjeant littaningtvoi upon this diificult case, was, certainly, a stthject calcuiated to induce regret, as both Magi steate s expressed themselves incompetent to decide spun t h e square rigged plea resorted to.
