The answer * to the bill upon which thd averments of perjury were made nap being property set out in the indictment, the Defendant was fosood-&-. Not Guilty, LATOUB V. 'VELUM Mr. COMTN opened the &duration. It stited that the Plaintiff had written and composed a book, which with his permission had been first published and sold by the Defendant on the Ist of February, 1802. That by certain Acts of Parliament, atter the espiration of 14 years from the date of such publica tion, the property in the copyright reverted to the author, and that the Defendant, well knowing the premises, did on the 22.4 day of May, 1816, and diverse other days afterwards, knowingly and wrong• fully, without the consent of the Plaintiff, print and publish number of the copies of the salt' work, to his great injury. To this the Defendant pleaded not Guilty. Mr. SCARLTTT said that his Learned friend lied stated the nature of this case. The Plaintiff, Mr. boiler, was a very eminent musical composer, who had written several works of established merit.— Among other...was a Senate, entitled Le &tour de Windsor. The copyright of this work he had this. posed of to the Defendant, a mosic.seiler, at time in partnership with Mrs. Bland. It might be now necessary to state the circemslances under which i_the present action was brought. At an age when men of genius and talent were known to have flourished with a singular degree of luxuriance--he leseent in the reign of Queen Anne—a qaesoinn arose -es to whom the property is the copyright of a work vii genies, after the work bad been published, was .prisporly -vetted. A Committee of the then flow of 'Collimate, composed of men distinguished for their 'literary acquirements, among whom was Sir Richard Steel, was appointed to investigate this subject, and ender its direction the Statute upon which the present Action was founded (Bth of Anne) was prepared. By mg, Statute it was provided, that, in the evetnt of en author's disposing of his copyright to a bookseller, after the lapse of 14 years it reverted to him. end became vested in him for 14 years longer. end no .person could Continue the publication without his *awes licence during 'that period. There were loth aequent Statutes, and especially that of the 41st of .the King, recognising Ibis principle, and making essme further prosisions: and the charge against the present Defendant was, that after the expiration of 14 years,. during which he had Mr. ',stove'. p i . r a a ja., *inn to print sad sell Le Itdour de Windsor, be continued to print end sell the said work, to the pro. i judice and injury of the author. With regard to the question, whether a musical composition came properly within the description of works which wore embraced by the Statutes ire g oestion, that had been sufficiently decided by Gerd Mansbehl, in the ease of Bale n. Longman, where his Lordship had charac terised a musical compirsition as a sort of short.hand mode of petting ideas °polo paper, which might be described by the use of langdage at greater length. Mr. Wood, Attorney to the Plaintiff, proved a notice served upon the Defendant to prodece the ma. noseript of the work In question. The manuscript was not produced. Mr. Thomas Streight, a musical engraver, proved that he had engraved for Messrs. Bland and Weller, previous to July, 180 i, a sonata, entitled Le Re tool. de Windsor: be returned the manuscript. In April, 1806, be re.engraved the same work. Mr. Thomas Tumble!l proved that be engraved the litle to Le &tour de Windsor, in December, 1811. ° Mr. Wood, the Attorney, was again ailed and *VTR evidence to a coeversation be had with Mr. ,Thwiites, the Defendant's Attorney, subsequent to fke action brought, from whence he inferred that the evattlict entered into between the Plaintiff and De. i fondant was in the possession of the letter: Notice ttwd been served to produce this contract, but It wall not fortbcemiirg.
