and Messrs. Saunders and Otley, of Brook-street, London,
to restrain them from publishing a life of himself which nag
been announced. It appears that some weeks ago the Rev.
Mr. Shutte wrote • very polite letter to the bishop, asking
him to furnish some letters written by his lordship
on political and ecclesiastical affairs from 1813 to
1858, stating that he wished to have them for pub-
litiatiou in • "life" of the bishop which he had
in preparation, and which Messrs. Saunders and Otley bad
engaged to publish. The bishop peremptorily refused to
furnish such letters, adding, "1 believe you are the only
person who would announce such an intention to me with-
out at the same time asking my consent. Be this as it may,
I decline altogether communicating with you ou the mat-
ter." Mr. Sbutte, after some angry correspondence, de-
dared his intention of fulfilling his engagements with the
publishers, and preparing the work. The following is the
bill which the bishop thereupon filed :—" 1. That the de.
fendanta, Reginald Neale Shutte, Simon Saunders, and Ed-
ward John Otley, and their servants, agent., and
workmen, may be restrained by the order and in-
junction of this honourable court from prioting or publish-
ing any letters written or sent by the plaintiff to any cor-
respondents or oorrespoodeet, or other persons or person, or
soy copies of or extracts from such letters, or any other
writings of the plaintiff. 2. That the defendants Reginald
Neale Shutte, Simon Saunders, and Edward John Otley,
