THEATRICAL SCENERY. •• - TUE KING V. BRANDON and u'r it I.: RS, Proprietors of C'uvent-garden Theatre. This was an information filed by the Attorney- General, for the purpose of recovering certain duties, alleged to be payable on a quantity of scenery made use of by the Defenilanta in their theatrical performances. A verdict wag given fir the Plaintiff—and, in the last term, Mr. HOLT moved for, and obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered—on the ground flint the provisions of the statute under which the informs, ))))) was IMd, plied only to mom/act/reed goods, and might not to Le construed as havi n g any reference to pictures or works of art. The SOLICITOR-GF.NF.RAT., Mr. 1/AUNCET, Mr. Ct.sßtce. and Mr. WALTON, tin. day *hewed cause agaiii4 the role. They oln.erveit, that no intention exiAted to hear hard on theatre-4. But it had be come ahmillitely towersory, for the intereNts of the revenue. that great quantities of painted whit% were exhibited thrinigliont the country, should pay the duties, to which, its their iiiterpret:a tion of the Acts of PHII . I44IIWIIt, passed on the slitiSi jet:4 they were fairly liable. The Learned Gen tleinen took au extensive reties , of the different statutes, under which, they contended, those duties were ',Hyalite. Iu till of thew, " htarns, priuted, painted, stained, or dyed," were, by the Legi-- lature, subjected to particular duties—and they argued, that a picture, twiteg composed of howls, painted, came within the intent and mealong of those statutes. It was wand, that the Legislature only contemplated, articles that Were mttifactured. Now what was it intinufactare? It Si !thing executed by the hand. A picture was NO executed ; and, sl) fur, it Was to total. which , vas 111:111UfiletUred.

It might lw argued, that the Legislature confined their vww °oily to such articles ail were exposed to sa!r. Hot it ap peared to them, that scenery, exhibit.-il for profit. as was done at the theatre, came equally within their intention. Perhaps it would be slid, that the canvass nu which scenes were painted, could nut Iw described its /their, because it was made of hemp, instead of flax, and that, therefore. the law would 11.4 apply to it. But, on reference to the schedule of the 37tli of the King. CAM 13. it would In. loom, that canvass was specifically merit - lolled. under the general head of 00 harm, printed, painted, stained, or dyed." limier all the circumstances, they hoped the Court would see no reason for disturbing the verdict. Mr. Serjearit P, t!. addressed the Court at great length, iii en 1111011 of the sole. Ile did not loran to touch upon either of the two points of rilijectiou which the Learned Gentlemen, on the other side, seemed to lielieve would form the principal features of his argument. He certainly would not contend. either that the fact of scenery, riot being exposed for sale, or that its being formed of panned canvass, and not of painted linen, took it out of tile opera tion of the Act. It was his toilrllfluit to argue the question on a broad and general prim:ink—namely, that the Legislature, when those statutes were enacted, cootemphited manufactured goods, Niel had Ho idea of taxing works of art. He agreed perfectly with the Leirrited Gentle-vireo, that the law ought to be construed strictly ; iwd, iii tloiui so, it would be right to look to what the co.aluct of their predecessors had heels. He was addressing the Court in the year 1/316, and the first Act was passed on tins subject, so far back as the year 1711; so ulna it appeared, that. lOC upwards of 100 years—limn 1711 up to person had ever conceived, that works of art were meant to he taxed, and certainly no attempt was made, during that long period. so to interioret the law. Ile, therefore, wished, that the invariable practice which had been so long observed, should still Ire persevered in. that was the rra.nuiug by which the lammed Gentlemen eialeavolired to siww that pictures came within the incurring of the Act ? " A Picture," they observed, " is made of linen, which is painted. It is, consequently, painted The Legislature says, that pai.nted horn shall pay a certain duty. Therefore a picture is liable to that duty." Nov be denied the correctness of the in ference. He had heard it said, that a lawyer was is Irian who wore a gown arid wig. This was very true —but every man who wore • gown tool wig was not, according to the acceptation of the terns iii Westminster Hall. a lawyer. The first Act to which their attention was celled, was the 10th of Anne, cap. 66. which imposed a duty on linens, printed, painted, stained, or dyed. This clearly applied to wares and inerchairdiee, matters of manufacture, and not to works of art. The Learned Geritlemen nest adverted to the gstli of Geo. 111. ; hut, as there was a precedirig Act, on the saute subject, he begged leave to draw their attention to that. The Act he allud , d to was the L nth of Geo. 111. c. 3 , 2. which imposed particular <hairier' " printed, paiiitedotaisietl, or dyed linens." This stater provided, that 00 every printer, painter, shinier, or dyer of liners, silk, or cotton, should take stilt an annual license, for which he should pay 101. So that if the &resilient of the Learned Gen tlemen were correct—if victors.* were to be looked &lion as painted linen, then every artist in the country, before lie could proceed aid' his business, st take out this trcense. The operation of die law could be purified still farther, and every man who exhibited a picture on the outside of a show, in the cosautry, might be compelled to apply for a license to enable Mot to do tou lf, however, fur tipwards of one linialred years no such license was seer applied for, add 110 prosecution was instituted, in cousequeirce, it was a very clear proof that their predecessors never took such a view of the law as that which the Learned Gentlemen on the other side appeared to entertain. Ile was convinced Hatt, before the present day, it was never imagined, that artists ought to be subiected to sach restric tions : —Anil if the Court, Ire their decision, de graded them to the siecessity sit takiog out a li cense, he was sure this would be the only kingdom in Europe in which such a system had ever VIC.. • *sailed. If the Court felt any doubt om the ques tion, which wits of much more importance to the national chin:to:ter than to the revetotte, hr truster) they would turn the case into a special verdict, and ' let it go before the highest tribunal lit the country. Let them vay, whether the crusts of this kingdom were to he subjected to such insult and in convenience. Ile now cnnur to the 9.511 i of Geo. ill. cap. 72. which was au Act for repeating the exist ing duties ou " printed, painted, stained, dyed and tior granting others it. lieu tilt recd." The fourth section enacted, " That the ditties should he collected in the same manner as was di recte.l by the Itith of Anne." That was, to put all the artists of the United Kingdom under the scvetal Acts of Parliament that had been passed on this soloject. The 7th section set forth, " That it any pe..son, after the Ist of August, 1785, shout" print, paint, main, or dye, any Inset's, &c. without giving notice to the R:retitle Officer, us wits di rected by the Act of Anne, he should lie liable to penalty of 50/." So that if the argument of the Leisitied Gentlemen were correct — ir • picture were, in fact, 'nothing itiore than painted Inlet', as described in the Act of Parliament, then any pain ter, who proceeded with a work of art, and lad not given notice to is Revenue Otliekr, would be liable to a line of 51)1. The Learned Gentlemen serried to think, that painters purchased their can vass ready printed, and that the persons who primed it, paid the duty. But this was tot so. Ile had realms to know that Mr. President West printed his own canvass, and, without doubt, Sir Joshua Rey nolds wits in the Whit of doing the tune. The 10th section enacted, " That a penalty of 301. should be inflicted on any ;emu deficiug the fratne-marks." Now, he should be glad to know, how this could possibly refer to a picture. What frame-marks, lie would ask, could have been al luded to, but those which were made on printed lines, 1 By the 14111 section, a penalty of 50/. was to he soli e.ed 400 Roy person who had " pa-tilted, painted, stained, or dyed linetis. &c. oat his pre mises, without being properly stamped."

The 150 section enacted, " That ail the iurirleuiruts and utensils made use of in iniatiotg, painting, staining, or dyeing coy Boris, &e. should be halite to seisure and sale, for she porpose of liqindatitig any arrear of ditty." Tni , clause he conceived to he decisive as to the iiitelition of the Legislature; for it never could be supposed, that the palette Mal brushes of the :siiiiter (.vilich were th, utensils by which Itia work teas per formed), west to be seized Isor the purpose of li ass arrear of ditties, or of affording the means of paying a penalty of :;0/. It was here evident, that the Legislature adverted to the iin plemehts mid utensils employes! in a mantifactore. Ilia Learned Friends argued, that a inactsfacture stwoiiiell something dime by the hand—that a pic ture Was formed by the hand—and that, theiefore, it was to In. considered an article of manufacture. This W 34 adhering too closely to the letter of the law.—llaret in &ern, !street in cortiee. If they were to issue questions of this tiattire oit such narrow principles as these, no hem fit could lie derived from their discussion*. With respect to the terms " printed, painted, stained, or dyed," winch. were made use of in the different Acts, the meaning appeared to him to be twr fectly clear. Never wits the saying, 6' Nostitur a swill" exeinslitied more strongly than by the position of the word " painted," in those statutes. It. along with the words, "stained or dyed" fol lowed the word "pabired"—which was evideittly the gerwrolissimaar women, the others being only iotroduced to prevent a fraudulent evasion of the provisi 0000 with reference to printed nitres. The Learned Gentlemen had c pared pictures with Moor-cloths. But, before they made such it com parison, they should have recollected, that floor cloths were executed by mrttns of blocks. But, if their argument were fairly followed up, they would exclaim, if they visited the Sot iety of Arts, and were *hewn some of the finest works of the Esse,lisli pencil—" ()! they sire very toe.stitiftal floor-cloths, bt Mr. Barry !" lit the 43d section of the •25th of his !Majesty; an ad valorem duly was im posed Olt .` 'Oleos, printed, taunted, stained, or dyed." 'Vas it not ridiculous to suppose that ilielines were to in. made liable to a duty, per card, its proportion to the fineness or coarseness of the article on which they were II xecuted I Ile admitted, that, under the Act of the 17111 of his Majesty, canvass must, with reference to its pro vision, be considered as linen. As lie made this admission, lie limed his Learned Friends would be equally co.:ciliatory,unolcotocrtle to him, that which would go a great say in deciiliiig the question ; uaurlt , that under the general head of 66 printed goods" winch was found in the same statute, the item " printed, painted, stained, or dyed Was inserted. lit the schedule to that Act, certain duties were enumerated, which were to he puid, on " printed and psioted linens," &c. imported—and also on pictures imported. Pictures were there inrisliotied, et, itowitie--and, he submitted, that, if the Legislature intended that picture* should be treated merely as " painted lamest," they would not have thus particularly named them. On different kinds of goods, noticed in the scherlale, in duty of three-halfpence, 4 d. &c. per yard, was to he le vied, 00 importation. tic WAS sure his Learned Friends woithd scarcely think of making such a charge as this on pictures imported. And vat, if they adhered to their own argument, that a picture oat, tin:tell a piece of painted horn, such as the Aet recognised, they most do so. But how dial the Legislature proceed I To shew, that they chid uot look upon works of art, and pieces of painted fillets, its spumy s, they attached a particular duty to pictures of different sizes, whets imported.
