The SOLICITOR-GE/MAL moved for an injunc tion to restrain the Defendants from publishing or selling The Holy Bible. or Common Prover Book, without the permission of the Plaintiffst. under the following circumstance, :—The Defendants had published, and were selling an edition of the Holy Scripture', which w ar p r i n t e d i n S cot l an d, as an English editiou, by putting in • forged title. page, purporting that it was printed in England. But it was most clumsily done, as they had forgot to put in the English title-page at the commence ment of Thd New TestaWeak, sod iu some of the books they sold they had forgot the title-page altogether, letting it go forth as the Scots edition. A similar injunction had been granted 011 the same terms fexpartej by his Lordship • considerable lime back, which he afterwards confirtned on a motion to dissolve the injunction. It was afterwards brought up to the House of Lords, where .his Lordship had the opportunity of revisinglii• - Jude anent, but he did not alter his former opinion, and the House of Lords agreed with him.

TAYLOR. The SOLICiTUR-GXNURAL said, he had a Mo tif/al to make iu this cause, on the behalf of the Plaintiff; but as his Learned Friend (Mr. Heuld), who, he stockroom!, was to oppose it, was not pre sent, with his Lordship's permission he would wait until he came into Court. The LORD CHANCILLOII—" There was a mo tion made in this matter before the vacatiou.— Statements were then handed to me by the Sub citors of the parties, which I have read over and over again, and I confess I cannot understand them. I niesitiou this mow, in hopes that I may re ceive further iriformation." Mr. HEALD having come into Court, The SOLICITOR-GENSRAL moved, on the be half of Mr. Waters, that the time should be en. urged fur Iris paying into Court the sum of 8,5431. part of the purchase-money for the Opera House, from this day to the first day of next Term. The sum had been ordered to be paid into Court by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on allowing an exception, he being of opinion, Viet 6,8001. was merely a matter of account between the parties. Mr. Waters was abroad, engaging performers for the next opera season, for which reason he was not able to raise the sum required. He was aware that be must apply to the indulgence of the Court, sod be was the more encouraged to do that, as Mr. Tuylur could 'tut be injured, as the Opera House itself was sufficient security for the money. His Learned Friends who would follow him would be more able to explain the cireumstances of the case to his Lordship as they were in possession of its merit., which he was not. Mr. HART followed and said, that the Court was in the habit of grouting the indulgence asked for, where the security was sufficieut. Its this case it was more than sufficient. The Master had not made his report relative to the fund in Court, and until that was done, it was doubtful whether Mr. Taylor oas entitled to rely thing from it. As to the sum now asked to be paid into Court, it w a s stated correctly by his Learned Leader, that 6,000/. and odd were directed to be paid into Court by the Vice-Chancellor, because lie thought it was a matter of account between the parties ; as to the balance, the case was that the late Nlr. Could eugaged a Mr. Desliayes as a dancer at the Opera House, and all those kind of engagements were prospective. Mr. Goold died before the season commenced, and Mr. Taylor became the manager, and accepted the services of Mr. Deshayes ; but at the expiration of the season, Mr. Taylor refused to pay bins. Mr. Deshayes being secured by Mr. Guold's brokers, lie obliged them to pay him, and they surd Mr. Waters as the executor of Mr. Gould, stud obliged him to repay them. The fact was, that Mr. Waters had paid Deshayts, and Tudor had reaped the fruits of his services. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was, however, of that if be allowed that sum. it oould be contrary to the spirit of his Lordship's decree. He litt.l uo doulit, therefore, but his Lordship would grant the indulgence asked fur, particularly us there oas a food 69,060/. in Court, and the first notice Mr. Waters bad that be was required to pay the snits in question into Court, was VII the 3d of October, at Paris. Mr. HARilka followed no the same ride. Mr. 11 EA t.u, Counsel fur Mr. Ts) kw, said, that the order for the money being paid into Court was made in July last, so there could be no surprise. The arguments of his Learned Friends went merely to ►llvw that such an order should never !Live been made, but lint one word of notice of that was taken in the present notice of mutiuu, it was merely to enlarge the time of payment. and nut one word a'sout the impropriety or the ord e r. N o ap peal to his Lordship had been lodged Lgiinst the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, but they brought it before him by way of motion, which they said his Lordship had nut decided. But he (the Learned Counsel) differed with them. for his Lordship d►smt»ed the motion, which certainly was deciding it. As to Mr. 11':►ters I►eing out of the country, it could not b► an inducement to the Court to grant the present motion, fur he be came the purchaser of the Opera llousr in the year 1816 ; and lie wa•. by the articles of Lite, to hare hail the purchase money iu the month of De. • cem o ni . f o llowing. which he had not done to the. present day. when two years hi 6.4 nearly elapsed. Then how could be find fault with having so small a suns as 8,543/. to pay ? His Learned Friends had gone the length of saying,, that the money was Secure ; but they did not attempt to state that Mr. Waters would be more able to pay it on the first day of next Term than on the present day. He was not called on to prove that Mr. Taylor would he * damnified by the money not being paid rion , into Conn ; it was tulficient fur him to say that his client had obtained an order to that .etfect. His Lordship would bear iu his recollection that Mr. .Tavlor was in gaol, and. that Mr. Waters was . taking his amusement on the Continent ; he there fore bad no doubt but his Loralr.hip would think that be ought nut to grant the indulgence which VIM asked. The tOLICITOIL-GENERAL rose to reply. The ORO CHANCELI.OII--." There was • mo tion midi fast before I went out of town, far a sum of money to be paid out of Court to M. Water., but I could not understand the stat emen ts h an d e d to me." • Mr. MILL?, Solicitor for Mr. Waters,,said, that Mr. Taylor never claimed to be entitled to more than nine-sixteenths of the Opera House.

Mr. hitus—" Perhaps your Lordship will let it stand over till Monday ?" The LORD CUANCELLuR—" Y can ha►e no ob. jection." Mr. liksus- 44 Mr. Waters is now in contempt, for not having paid the money into Court ; if it stands over until Monday, it must be without pre judice." Mr. MILL, Certainly, there yen he no ob jection to that. But, my Lordoiccording to rules of equity. Mr. Waters ought pot to be ob liged to pay his money twice for his seven-six treuths."

The report that the uew Judges would take their seats, occasioned tit! Hall to be crowded almost beyond precedent. At one o'clock Sir CIIARLES A oadrc took his seat as Lord-Chief Justice of the King's Beach. His Lordship was accompanied by Mr. Justice BATLEY and Mr. Justice Houton).— The vacancy occasioned by the promotion of Mr. Justice Assort is not yet filled up. Mr. HORNE, Mr. CULLEN, Mr. WINKFIELD, and Mr. HEALD, the new King's Counsel, were called at the sitting of the Court. and took their stations within the bare CRIMINAL. INFORMATION. Mr. SCARLETr said. he had humbly to move the Court for a rule to strew cause, why a criminal information should out be filed against Michael Stock, a Magistrate for the West Riding of the county of York. His motion was founded on affi davits which went to prove that Mr. Stock had employed his authority, as a Magistrate, to coin. pound a felony, and to procure emolument for I - self. It appeared that two persons, of thy names of Taylor and Bentley, had had extensive dealings, and a running account, of considerable magnitude, existed between them. Oil the winding-up of this account, Taylor was indebted to Bentley iii the sum of 6501. for the liquidation of which he gave certain bills of exchange. On the '24th of June last, Mr. Stock, tin the application of Bentley, issued his war rant to a t Taylor, on the groussil of forgery—it being alleged that he hail given a fictitious bill, drawn on and accepted by a person who could not be found. Taylor was greatly affected by this charge, and, on being taken into custody, deposited with the constable a sum of money as security for his appearance the mixt day. He accordingly attend ed the Magistrate, but the Prosecutor did not up. Pm. and lie was kept in custody for one n'.ght.-=. Bentley came forneird next morning, but he did nut produce the hill. The case was heard before Mr. Stock, who said that Taylor was likely to he indicted for a capital offence. He then asked, whether there had not here a runniug account be tween the parties--and, being answered in the of 'toted that the matter had better lie re ferred. Mr. Stock was himself appointed one of the referees— but Taylor's ugitatiou was so great, that be did not recollect by whom he was proposed. The two other referees were a Mr. Garlick and a Mr. Harlon. It was proposed that the arbitra tion bond shonld be executed the next day..-at which time Mr. Taylor called on Mr. Stock. The latter looked over the bond, and stated some ob jections to Mr. Ritchie', as one of the referees, lie 'being the friend of Taylor. in his stead, Mr. Stock suggested the propriety of substitnting It mul l of the name of Healy, • friend of Bentley's, which suggestion Taylor found himself obliged to accede to. Bentley then deturnided security, to the amount of IMO/. for • strict adherence to the terms of the award that might be delivered. Taylor, being a respectable mare immediately offered that security, through the agency of his friend, Mr. Garlick—who, ill his turn, demanded. that Bentley should produce an routl security—which he was till able to do. Mr. Stock immediately ond, "Then the ittoseciotion mustgoon;" and lie made out • warrant for the commitment of Tay lorto York Castle. He also caused Taylor to pay the expenses of the meet ing, which, it ought to be observed, took place at a public-house. While Taylor was in custody, Stock 01111 E down stairs to him, and stated, that Bentley had agreed to let the relerence go ois,with out nipairing security. Taylor expressed his wil linguess in permit die reference to proceed, and lie was Oleo discharged. The award proceeded—bet all award made under such circumstances, ought to be set aside. Three tran.motions took place on the 44'11, 25th, and 26th ofJune. T.410r was charged 3;1. some h ' woiley for expenses. having at tended three ti'a•!.. Certain vouchers were called for in the t0,.1.e of the investigation, which were in the possession of Mr. Garlick, a ho could not, how ever, attend the *remit( meeting. The consequence war, that Mr. Stock acted by himself—fur, as to [kitty, lie was* lucre tour of straw. Mr. Stork employed his own son, who 'was in an Attorney's oilier, to draw up the copy of 11:c award. Golick • and Healy who lly CI euied having received any part of the money charged —an that it must have found its way into the pocket of Mr. Stock. after deduct• ing what was charged for drawing up the necessary documents. What he (Mr. Scarlet') wished to im press on the Court was, that if Mr. Stock conceived that an act of felony bud been committed, he ought tint to have rugge.ted a compromise—nod if lie hail a different belief, he ought not to have it.,ued his warrant. The COURT held that the Lemiefl Coun•rl had stated sufficient to authorise the granting of the rule. OLD BAILEY.
