ENCRANTNO OF TIIE LEAGUE PlerrßE.—A trial
took place in the Manchester County Court on Wednes-
day, arising out of Herbert's picture of the "League
Council," which was painted for Mr. Agnew, the Manchester
publisher, and afterwards engrave/. A number of the gen-
tlemen who had put down their names for copies of the en-
graving previous to the picture being painted, have since
refused to receive or pay for the copies, and Mr. Agnew
had brought the ewe fur trial before the court. The first
ease called was " Agnew T. Simpson," and counsel being
engaged on both sides, the hearing occupied the gre.tter
portion of the day. It appeared that the objection on
the part of tho defendants was to the painting
as a work of art, and that the plaintiff had
broken his contract, by inserting portraits of gentlemen
who were not members of the council of the league. Mr.
Herbert was examined at great length, and the defendants
made out a strong case, but Mr. It. Brandt, the judge,
gave judgment for the plaintiff, conceiving that the intro•
duction of the portraits complained of was not n vitiating
circumstance. Though they did not hi long to the council,
the gentlemen whose portraits were thus inserted were in
the habit of attending the meetings of that body, and their
presence therefore did not detract front the accuracy of a
picture which purported to be one of a meeting of the
council. lie threw aside all the evidence as to the character
of the plate, which might be urged in mitigation of dam-
age* but had nothing to do with the question raised.
