LAW I \TELl,l(iliNt:t OF - i A li - 546.;101, .JUICE FHI Numc,s, ~F tvki.Eb V. Latin LIVFRFOOL. tiENERAL rose to subtnit R uto. ad,op in this cause, when he was 1- , , , rutred by who observed, that perhaps his nit he troubled with the mo tio,l at all. it It were allowed to stand over tor e tt'W tiny. it was accordingly ordered to stand OPItItA-ITOUSR.—WATERS U. TNYLOR. The soLICITott-GeNttRAL, on behalf of the: had been ordered to pay into Court the , Uilk 411 81471. as part ot the purchase-money. of 11.1! Opera-house, moved that he might be at lib.Jty now tU pay. 45001. into Court, and the : l'etolitliog 4000/. on the first day of Michaelmas' Term test. lie stated, that Mr. Waters had been ordeted to pay into Court by a given day, the situ of 850t)1. part ot the purchase-money of the Opera.house ; and that to enable himself todoso, he had sold estates to the amount of 17,000/. hut o wing to tie del a y which had taken place in the • investiL:ation Of his title, he had not beeo able to (olltain payment. Ile had, towever, front other resources, raised 45001. which)le was ready to pay i,to Court, and only asked the i n didgence of his Lordship with respect to the remainder. Sir AFTnnit PIQGOTT Said, thr• sum due to Mr. Taylor, 8,5001., ought to have been paid on. the ISt h lost, and yet the plaintiff, with singular too, desty, had asked that he might pay onlynne hall the sum, and obtain tine for the remainder. It was ,nt , .st extraordinary that Mr. Waters should not have said one wort( about the iirtUreSt due to Mr. Taylor, on which alone that individual had to subsist. The other side knew si , nation ; and the y also knew that he depeodolely on that 6041. of interest for subsistence. Their conduct, thelefore, in depriving hint of it, was improper in every point ot view. The 18th of June was the very I,st day they asked for ; and why had they not paid it in.? Di l l they wish to be consi deted in contempt, or were they aware that an attachment was ready to be issued against then; If they wire not, then it was high time they should be so. The LORD CHANCRLLOR observed, that the plaintiff must alter the form of his motion before the Court would consent to pay attention to it. Probably they might have no objection to pay the interest of this sum, and the 4,50 W. into Court, and then they might take time for the rest. Sir ARTHUR I'IGGOTT objected to this sugges tion of the Court, though he. knew it was well meant by his Lordship, .whose patience must, no doubt, be exhauited by such frequent perfor manees of these operas. The other side, as he understood, had promised to pay this interest to Mr. Taylor on Wednesday next ; but, if •they tdtd not, he hoped his Lordship would allow the at tachment to issue against Mr. Waters for a con tempt of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—To be sure. Let Mr. Waterq 'tam] the consequences. After some further conversation between the Coot. and Counsel, The Lord) CHANCELLOR said, he had done his best to split the difference; and therefore he per emptorily ordered the sum of 3950/. to be paid•on Monday se'tinigl“, the 28th instant, with certifi cation, that unless the said sum was, on or before that day, paid into Court, an attachment would be infallibly issued against them. At the same time he might add, his decided . opinion was, that Mr. Taylor had a proper right to compute the in terest on the oaostandOtg claims, and that he was entitled to the full costs of the day. The estates which Mr. Waters 'had sold should also stand as a seeuril for the money which should ultimately come to Mr. Taylor, anti fur the balance now due to hint. He should be glad to hear no more of these operas, as - the performances which he had witnessed in that Court were so numerous, that be bad forgot the one half of them. DAVIS V.,THE DUKE OF IMARLEOROULI4I. Mr. lIART, in this case, aaitl ire had formerly mentioned the annuity 'granted by the Duke to the plaintff ; and he was now authorized to say that the Doke had offered payment of the prinei , pal, and also of the costs of the suit. Whether this would be accepted was a question for the other side. Mr HANSoN offered some objections. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the ease to /re finally fixed for judgment on 'Thursday. CLARKE AND SONS V. PRICE, E.FQ. Mr. SHAD WELL said, he hoped he should not be Considered Averse to the profession in moving to. stay the publication of a Law Book. This mo- . tion was, tee the put of Messrs. Clatke and Sons,. b , ivkseilers, to res , rain Geo. Price, Esq. and Messrs. Brook and Sweet, from publishing a fifth volume of Reports in the Exchequer. He. stated that Mr Pike had entered into an agreement with Messrs. Clarke to write the Reports its the Exchequer for publication by them, They were. to be at all the exoeuce of publishing them, avid to divide the ptofits with Mr. Price, When two volumes bed beck published, by a subsequent agreement they' agreed to give 71. a sheet, and 31. for correcting each part. The work went on to a fourth volume, and now they were informed that Mr. Price had entered into an agreement with Messrs. Brook and Sweet for the publication of the fifth volume. The Counsel submitted on the part of Lis clients, not only that the defendants Should be restrained from publishing the fifth loose, but that they should also be restrained from publishing any other Reports. which Mr. Price might hereafter write. -e The LoaD CHANCEI.LOR observed, that. he doubted whether he c 041.1 grant an _injunction for whatever an author might write. Mr. SZIADWCLL said, his Lordship had laid this down its the ease ,of Morris and Colman, where it apfrepred, that Mr. Colman having engaged not to wt Ire any Theatrical Pieces except for the The atie to the Hayinklrket, his Lordship held, that Pe could not write a Farce for Drury-Lane.--- Upon that occasion he. had said, that an author 11:ight mortgage his brains ; and that though he could not compel Mr. Colman to be witty, and ' voile farces, if he did not choose it, yet if he did writedhem, he was bound to give to the Theatre the benefit of his labours. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should grant the injunction tin the answer *as pot in. f' T, remember," said his Lotdship, " when the Term Reports first came out, 1 - happened to call upon, Mr. Justice Gould, and he said the profession would be ruined by them." Mr. StrAnwv.LL.--indeed, my Lord, we are not much bentfited'by them. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 19. At the, sitting of the Court, the Bishop of Pe telborough appeared on the Bench, and took cer tain oaths on his promotion. 8 MOURIS V. HUNT. The defendant in this c,;..se applied to their Lordships, at the ri s ing of the Court, for a rule to spew cause why the Matter should not review, his taxation of the plaintiff's bill'of costs. The defendant said he made this application on an affidavit, stating, that the plaintiff's At torney had put the defendant to most unneces sary and encalled for expellee; for, although it w a s well known that when in London his resi dence was at No. 8, Nortolk-street, in the. Strand, and that, when out of town. he was to be found living at NiddletoirCottage,.Hants, yet the plaintiff hall sued our-proceis in both counties, and tit?. Master had -allowed the charge.. The Ma- , ter had also allowed a charge of forty-folios for the declaration, .although it contain-ed only 35 folios. The charges for .a Special .Jury also amounted to '221. of which sum 12 guineas was charged .for the Jury, although only tour Special Juries attended. There was also a charge for four Conesel, although there were only three wit nesses: The affidavit proceeded to entunrate other items, Which the defendant c , insitlered Ought not to have been allowed, and concluded by stating, that the Master had wade his former taxation in a hasty and cart less manner. Mr. Justice BaYeev, in the absence of the Chief Jertice, ob , erved, the affidavit of the defen dant could not he received,' inasmuch as it con tained much irrelevant matter. His Lordship particularly recommended that the last paragraph should be omitted. Mr. I-41NT said, he meant no reflection on the. Master, whO had/ treated hint with the greatest attention ; but he could nor help thinking there was a personal feeling towards him in some of the minds of the subordinates in the office. One item in the bill he must allude to, and that was the charge fur four Counsel, when there were only three witnesses ; the junior CO - nrisel had no thing more to do than to stand as a bottle holder. Mr. Haut also objected particularly to the tNvelve guineas given to the Special Jury, when only tour special Jurymen attended. Master Le BLAZSC said, it was the custom to pay the tales a guinea as well as the special. Jur ymen, it a tales was prayed. Mr. IIuNT said he wished to have this practice inquired Mr. Justice BAYLEY..--•" The Court cannot, Mr. Hunt, attend to what you think proper to suggest, but be bound by what it right and fit ting. At present your affidavit contains irrelevant .matter. You may alter it, rind come again ; but I cannot promise you will then succeed. I tope I make myself understood." . Mr: 11uNT.—" I thank your Lord,hip s, I per fectly understand you. I will alter my affidavit, . and trouble you again." WRIGLIT V. HAY. In this case, which is a pi osecution against the Printe: of Cobbett's Political Register, tor a libel inserted iii that publication, reflecting on the plaintiff, an application was made for time to plead; on grounds similar to those stated .11 Nit, Chitty, on Frillay, on his•application to the Court in ~the case of Wright. v. Dolby. The - Learned Counsel who made the present a pplication stared, that be had the affidavit of Mr. Cobbett, junior, stating his belief that the Matter contained in the alleged libel was true;. and further,, that if the time now prayed w.as ,given, the original doen-H ments would be obtained from Mr. W. Cobbett, in Atnerica. Mi. Justice BlYtev wished the application to stand over till the Court was full, tire Chief Jus tice and Mr. Justice Rest being absent. He could not but ade'ert to an evil arising out of the course now adopted by the defendant, namely, that a libel was thus sent out into the world, casting a stigma on the character of an individual, who, if the application of the defendant was granted, wo►ild be obliged to suffer for months under the evil, not being able to refute the libel, because the defendant was not prepared to justify or to prove the truth of the,slander he had thus propa gated.—The question stands ever.
