Mr. Hope's reply to the arguments for the respondents
occupied their lordships up to half-past 3 o'clock. He con-
tended, first, that the respondents had failed in showing
that they were entitled to receive any customs on cattle and
other goods carried on the railway carriages through the
burgh; and, secondly, that they load no title to any tolls
from the appellants upon cattle and goods carried through
their viaduct, which crossed the river Avon at a point remote
from the burgh bridge. The derision of these questions
I was of the greatest importance to all railway companies in
Scotland.
Their lordships postponed their judgment.

Mr. Matins and Mr. Southgate supported an appeal from
the decision of the Master, placing the appellant upon the
list of contributories. The appalant had applied for shares
on the 7th of October, 1545; on the 17th of November,
after the panic had set in, a letter of allotment was sent to
him. He denied, however, having received it. "Capper's
case" (15 Jurist), and " Maudslev and Field's case' (17
Simons), were cited in support of Ste ap(teal.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Daniel for the Wheal manager, con-
tended that the present ease was distinguishable from those
cited by the eircumstanee that the prospectus sent to the
appellant stated that the deposits were to be applied in pay-
ment of the expenses.
The Vice-Chancellor said that he considered that he ought
to follow the decisions of Ina 1 Cranworth which had been
cited, and that they gorenied the present case. The ap-
pellant's name must therefore be removed.
NOVELL° C. JANIES.--COPTATOBT.
Roundill Palmer and Mr. C. Hall moved on behalf
of the defendant, the publisher of the Pianista, to dissolve
an injunction which had been obtained by the plaintiff, re-
straining the defendant from publishing in the Annista
Mendelssohn's Linter ohne worte," of which the plaintiff
claimed to be entitled to the copyright. The grounds on
which it was sought to dissolve the injunction were, that
the piece of music is question had been published in France
and Germany before its publication here
that
was, how-
ever, denied on the part of the plaintiff), that Br. Mendels-
sohn was not resident in England at the time of the pub-
lication, and that the plaintiff could not have an injunction
till be had established his title in an action.
Mr. itolt and Mr. J. Bally, for the plaintiff, were not
called upon.
The Vice-Chancellor mid that there appeared more than
enough, upon the evidence, to support the injunction until
further order. But the plaintiff must undertake to bring
un action, and to abide by any order the court might make
as to damages sustained be grunting or continuing the in-
junction, and the plaintiff must bring the action within ten
days. The costs must be reserved.

after that day till the Term.
