Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Daman, were
counsel for the plaintiff; but the defendant did not appear
to defend the affirm.
The facts of this eau were shortly these :—The plaintiff
VAS • provision agent, and the defendant had formerly
been • partner with Mr. Leifehild, the auctioneer. The
plaintiff and the defendant had had soma pecuniary trans-
' actions together, and the defendant had given the plaintiff
a hill of exchange to discount, which, however, he was un-
able to do. One evening, an the plaintiff was leaving his
house, he was arrested on the charge of obtaining the bill
of exchange from the defendant under Wee pretences. He
was then conveyed to the station-house, and locked
up all night The next morning he was taken
before Mr. Alderman Wire, at the Guildhall Police-
*Sc:, when the defendant, with a solicitor, appeared to'
prefer the charge against the plaintiff. The cane wan re-
manded fora week, during which time the plaintiff was
confined in the Giltspur-street Compter. Upon his coming
up a second time at Ouildhall Police ales the matter was
immediately dismissed, the sitting alderman being of
opinion that there was not the slightest ground for making
the charge against the plaintiff.
These facts having been duly proved,
The Lord Chief Justice summed up, and the jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 80f.
The court then proceeded to try the case of Connolly v.
Lee and another, which was also an action for false impri-
sonment, the de,tails of which were totally devoid of any
public interest

BOOPET V. JIIIITISTE.-COFTRIORT o► "LA BORMAN.
•VLA.-UVENTIO Or RIORT OF A FOREIGNER TO ASSIGN
♦ COPYRIGHT TO A SCIJECT Or ORRAT BRITAIN.

--..—. .
The important question involved in this case was learnedly
argued before, and decided by, the Court of Exchequer. in
the well-known ease of " Sauey e. Purday." The plaintiff
subsequently brought an action against the present defan•
dant, a musical publisher, for an infringement of his alleged
copyright in Bellini's opera, "La Sonnambula." The facts
were shortly these : Bellini, the composer, originally
transferred his copyright in the opera to the publisher,
Rioordi, of Milan. Ramesh subsequently tame over to Eng-
land, and transferred his right, so far as regarded the publi-
cation of the opera in England, to the plaintiff, who is a
British subject. Baron Rolle, on the authority of the deci-
sion of the Court of Exchequer, in " Homey e. Purday,"
ruled against the plaintiff's right to recover; whereupon a
bill of exceptions was tendered.
Mr. Bovill, who now appeared on behalf of the plaintiff
in error, said the object of the present proceedings was to bring
coder review the judgment of the Court of Exchequer in the
sass of "Boom ye. Plucky." The main question involved
was whether there could be any copyright (or a foreigner
in this country, and whether such a right could be vested
in any person who purchased of that foreigner. And se-
mildly, whether there could be any assignment by the
foreigner of a portion of the copyright to be confined as in
the present case to Great Britain, and whether an assign-
ment made in Milan ought to have been attested by two
witnesses. With respect to the first point the learned
counsel said it was contended on the other side that there
could be no property in such a work; but he submitted
that such a work was property at common law, and before
the passing of the statute of Anne—
Mr. Justice Mettle presumed that Homer had a copy-
right in his poems; he could gn about and recite them.
Lord Campbell.—And he might have had en injunction.
Mr. Bovill proceeded to say that the statute of Anne was
professedly enacted for the encouragement of learning by
securing a copyright to the authors. It provided that after
the year 1710 the author of any book who had not
transferred it to any other person, or the bookseller who
had purchased it, should have the copyright. If there
was a right of property in the author—the natural born
subject —it followed that the alien was equally en-
titled to property in it; for; the law made no distinction
in personal property. Aliens may hold any description of
property lin,ler statute 7 t $ Viet., c. 66. It was contended
that the right was affected by the question of the place in
which the work was produced.
Lord Camphill suggested the case of a foreign author
who, having come over to visit the Exhibition, should write
a poem during his visit. Would he have no right to that
poem ?
Mr. Justice Maule—Or would he have no right to an
ankle which lie might write about it iu a foreign pc.
riesliecl

Mr. Ibrvill submitted that if he had a right to it :IS the
production of his mind it could make no difference
whether he wrote it here or elsewhere. If the test was
property or no property, it could make no difference
whether he brought it here himself, or gave it to another
person to bring it. If he could do that, then surely he
could transfer that right to another. What was the effect
of the statute of Anne? It was argued that that enact-
ment wan made rxpre•sly for the encouragement of native
talent. But he submitted that it was of equal importance
that we should have the benefit of the first publication of
the literature of the world,as well as of the works of British
authors. The statute of Anne, it was true, was for the
encouragement of learning, but that learning was for the
public benefit ; and there was no reason why the benefit
should be confined to the caw: of works produced by British
authors.

' Mr. Justice Maule remarked that a hook written by •
foreigner might be of as much public benefit as one written
by an Englishman.
Mr. Bee ill ri ferred to various authorities to show that it
was a question of property. and if so, that the plaintiff had
copyright in the spent, and was, therefore, entitled to the
judgment of the court.
Mr. Peacock. eon lehalf of the defendant in error, did not
menu to contend that a portion of a copyright might not be
sold, or that a foreigner might not he entitled to copyright,
and to recover damages for an infringement of the same.
Itut he submitted that in the particular circumstances of
the present ease the plaintiff had no copyright. The per-
son in whom the copyright of " Sonnambula " vested re-
sided abroad at the time of the first publication, and had,
therefore, no right to claim protection in another country.
The foreigner could nut assign a right which he did not
proem.
Mr. Justice Msule suggested the case of an actual in-
ventor in a foreign country sending over and obtaining a
patent in Engiand. Windt' not that be a gaol patent?
Mr. Peacock submitted that if lie used the invention
abroad he could not afterwards come and obtain a patent in
this country. In conclusion, the learned counsel submitted
that, granting the right to make the assignment valid, it
should have been attested by two witnesses.
The argument having been concluded,
Lord Campbell said he entertained no doubt upon the
question ; but, from the respect he entertained for the
Court of Exchequer, he should like to take a little further
time to consider the question. The court would probably
state their opinion on the subject on Tuesday.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—S.vrutums.
IY 7141: MATTER or ROMMT PRO-
JECT"II or Pe BLIC COMPANIT.S.—Acrtome to Screnton
Covina.
This insolvent, • barrister-at-law, and projector of several
public companies, was opposed by Mr. Macrae for a Mr. A.
Smith ; Mr. Cooke and Mr. Samoa' supported.
The ease occupied the court to a late hour. The com-
plaint was a vexatious defence. An action was brought by
Mr. Smith on a bill of exchange fur 201. and interest. It
was brought in the Court of Exchequer. A plea was
pleaded, but no defence made on the trial, and the costs
were 36/. 9s. 6d., of which nearly 301. had been incurred by
the pleas.
On it being asked why an action had not been brought in
a County Court, it was stated that there WWI a sum of
I+. fal. owing for interest when the action was brought, and
further that the attorney wbo brought the action did not
practise in the County Courts.
Mr Commissioner Phillips thought that when the legisla-
ture established County Courts, where cheap justice was
administered, it was a questionable proceedii g to bring an
action in • superior court, where only Is. 6d. was due for
interest. He should know how to deal with such a east,
when the complaint was a vexatious defence. It appeared
that the insolvent had projected and been a director of the
Mutual Insurance Company, and the Foreign Insurance
Company. lie had a claim on the foreign company for
7,0001., which was not yet due. He had also been con-
nected with other public companies—railways and mining
companies—and had liabilities in his schedule. His debts
were 11,9111., and his consideration debts were 11,361/.
Some attorneys owed him fees, which were in the schedule.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips made some strong remarks
on the conduct of attorneys who employed barristers and
did not pay them thelfees. He would some day expose the
names of such attorneys, for the benefit of the public. It
was most disgraceful conduct. The case occupied the court
until past 6 o'clock, when the court suggested a settlement
for • vexatious defence. The sum of 20!. was offered, and
(refused, the ease was adjostrimd to Monday.

Edward Johns, 17, painter, was indicted for stealing a

October lest the prosecutor missed the silver snuffbox,
which he much prised, it being a testi:noels' presented to
him for the zeal and skill he had displayed at the period
when the cholera was raging. In March he mimed an
opera-glass worth dl., a ease of ladies' pistols, inlaid with
silver, in a tortoiseshell case, worth 101. ; also a deed box
containing salusble documents, an opal brooch 5,4 with
brilliants, valued at 261., gold seals and other jewellery
worth between 501. and 641. Upon searching the place bit
found a portion of the jewellery sealed up in a paper, sad
also a will that was in the box, which were placed in a closet
adjoining the room from which the dcedhos had been
taken. During January and February the prisoner had ac-
me to that room. . _

John Hales, an assistant to Mr. Fuller, pawnbroker, of
King's-place, Commercial-mad, said that on the 10th of
February the woman pledged the brooch first for • po"
then had another 11. Ss. on it ; she had previously pl.,
the snuffbox, two gold seals, a brooch and other things. The
woman said she was commissioned to pledge the things by
her brother, or brother-in-law.
William Jutson, another pawnbroker, produced the saute
box which had been redeemed from the other place, else •
brooch, silver butter knife, and other property. Wheedle
brought the snuffbox, seeing there was an erasure on the
top she was spoken to about it, and she said they were her
father's things, and had been left to her brother who was in
such straitened circumstances that he wan compelled to
part with them, and that he had erased the inscript.on from
the hose, as he did not wish it to be seen. She had bees a
customer of theirs for years.
The evidence of the prisoner Johns, which he gave at
some length, and with much apparent candour, was to the
effect that he first became acquainted with the female pri-
soner, who was a woman of the town, in October last, and
their acquaintance began in the following way: He saw her
in the streets. She was fighting with some man, and he
took her part, and got her away. He finally saw her home,
and she then asked him about is circumstance.; and when
he told her, she said, " You had no need to be short of
money. You must find plenty of things about, and if you
will bring them to me, I will make money of them for you."
It was in October when he met her first. When he took
the snutf-box, he showed her that he had erased the name,
and she said it was riot done complete, and took the name
quite out. He then continued to rob Mr. Tripe, and took
the things to her, which she pawned, and gave him a few
shillings out of what she got.
Sergeant Kelly, 2 H, said that Mr. Tripe having men-
tioned has looses, he traced the property, and on the
18th of April apprehended the woman, and told her
she was charged with receiving a quantity of jewellery.
She said the prisoner had told her the property had been
left him by his father or brother; she did not know which.
He then went and saw the male prisoner, and he said that
the only thing he had pawned was a si ver pencil-ease for
2s. The tortoiseshell ease the pistols were in he said he bad
broken up and thrown down the water-closet.
The constable who took the male prisoner said that he at
first said he knew nothing about it ; but, when he heard
that Farmer was in custody, he made a statement si-
milar to what he now made, and adding that he threw the
japan deed-box into the canal.
The jury having found the woman Guilty,
Mr. Payne called several highly respectable witnesses,
who said that up to this transaction the lad's character had
in every respect been irreproachable.
The prosecutor also begged that he might be mercifully
treated as he thought he himself was to blame for having
left so much property about which he wonld not have done
had he reflected upon it, or thought it would have been any
temptation to the lad.
The female prisoner, in a most plausible manner, said
that she had been entirely deceived by the boy's statements
and artful manner, and had no idea the things did nut be-
long to him.
'1 he Common Serjeant, in passing sentence on the lad,
said that no one could help feeling sorry to see a young
man with so good a previous character in the position he then
was, and he perhaps would never again get into honest
employment. The prosecutor had most kindly recom-
mended him to mercy, but his case could not be passed
over without severe punishment, as he was of an age to
know better than be drawn into such an act, and erasing the
name from the lid of the box looked very bad.
He was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and
the woman transported for seven years.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Cornelius JU;;;:rfoSiTigne;, fa,liWitlly firmed, wu
brooght up for final examination, charged with having
attempted to extort money from Henry Lynch, gentleman,
of Stone-buildings, and also with having obtained his top
coat front him.

It was stated on the former examination that the com-
plainant met with a girl to the street, and took her to a
house in Rupert-street. When about to leave the next
morning, the prisoner came into the room and demanded
21., threatening, in case of refusal, to inflict punishment.
The complainant was locked in the room and detained for
some time, while he sent to a person fur some money. lle
was relieved at last, but his paletot was taken from him by
the prisoner. The prisoner found out his address, and came
to Ins chambers in Stone-buildings, demanding 10/., under
a threat of exposing him. This annoyance ultimately led
to the prisoner's capture by the police.
Mr. %%twilit fur the prisoner, asked leave to cross-examine

the complainant.
The complainant mid he was a gentleman, living with
his brother-in-law, who occupied chamben in Stone-build-
ings. Complainant had been in the army. Had never re-
pri.sented himself to be an officer in the Ilth Dragoons.
Had not given his name to the lady as the lion. Mr. Law-
rence, aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Had not attempted to leave the house in Hupert-street
without payment. Ile had given a sovereign while in the
house.

Mr. Woolf!' handed the defendant some cards, with "The
Hun. Mr. Lawrence, 11th Illussan," on them, and asked
Min it he would swear they had nut been written in hie pre-
sence to hW dictation. _

The complainant would not swear that the cards had
not been written by the lady while he was present. Seve-
ral curds were written, but be did not know what was WI
them.

_-Mr. Woolf said the prisoner wmi a foreigner, and entirely
in the hands of the court. It was a mistake to suppose he
had attempted to extort money, or that his position towards
the complainant was otherwise than that of a friend.
Mr. Hanlwick considered the whole affair wore the ap-
pearance of a felony, and be must, therefore, send the case
to a jury fur their decision.
The prisoner was, therefore, fully committed.
SOUTHWARK.
James Creswell, a well-dressed young fellow, who was
stated to be a clerk in a mercantile house in the City, was
brought up charged with committing an assault on Ann
Clark, a young woman with an infant in her arms.
Complainant, whose face was much disfigured, stated
that a little after nine o'clock that morning she met the
prisoner near the Brighton 'hallway Station, London-
bridge, and having some claim upon him, she asked him
to give her a trifle to assist her and the infant, and to en-
able her to return to her parents. Instead of doing so. he
struck her several times in the face, and wa: only deterred
from seriouiry injuring her and the infant by the timely
' arrival of a police constable.
Magistrate—Have you any claim on the prisoner, by ask-
ing him fur assistance ?
Complainant—l have a great claim upon him as he
seduced me and afterwards left me to wander the streets.
I became acquainted with the prisoner at my native place
in Hertfordshire, about 12 months ago, when he enticed me
to elope to London with him under the promise of marriage
as soon as we arrived. I foolishly trusted to his promise,
and left my parents' comfortable roof, when he seduced me.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she came to
London with him voluntarily, and livedwith him nearly ten
months. Iler temper was so bad that he was compelled to
leave her. _

Mr. Seeker told the prisoner be was a heartless scoundrel
to treat the young woman in that mariner. Ile should fine
him dl. for the assault, or one month's imprisonment. The
magistrate assisted the girl out of the p nor box, and directed
the constable to communicate with her parents.

TUE GOLD-DEfT ROBBERY.—Anotlicr trace of the
gold-dust robbers has been discovered, and the police
an is full pursuit. It was stated in the Desi,y Nero
last week, that the weight of the three stolen boxes
of gold-dust was about 7011. e. This was en error, and
although its correction will not militate against the
ar
gument deduced last week front the weight of the
go Id, circumstances have transpired which have ren-
dered it important to state that it has been aceertained
that the weight of the three stolen boxes was near I cwt.
Now, it has been sworn in evidence that the man in
custody fur the robbery appeared at the Winchester station
etaggenng with two packages. If those packages were the
two missing hoses of gold, they weighed about SOlbs.
A question, therefore, has arisen, whether his staggering
appearance arose from the weight he was earning or
whether he was pretending to be drunk, for
it has been proved, that he was not in reality
in liquor. It is rather unfortunate fur the ends of justice
that with regard to the extensive robberies in the south of
England, the great companies located there, and whose
business is to take charge of or convey valuable property,
are almost as anxious to believe that the robberies have
been effected before such property had come into their pos-
session or after it has passed from their hands as to discover
the thieves, and there can be no doubt that the police agents
selected by the various companies to inquire into robberies
are biassed by the feelings of their employers. A few weeks
ago a bale of French merino goods, worth several hundreds
of pomade, was stolen after it was landed at Southampton
from France on its way to London. The South Western
Railway authorities sad their agents say that the bale ,
waa lost in Southamptoa Docks, and the deck &ether

CANE OF StAIVATION AT BILISTOL.—On Friday
the magistrates of Bristol had brought before them at the
Police-court a shocking charge of cruelty and starvation of
a young girl, 16 years of age, named Christiana Carpenter,
the parties earged with maltreating her being her father
and step-mother, Robert and Louisa Carpenter. It was
pruve4 that the girl had been kept locked up in an unfur-
nished room, which she had not been allowed to leave for
several months, and that her allowance of food was insuffi-
cient. It asosequence of this treatment she gradually
wasted away, and when brought before the magistrates she
presented a ghastly spectacle. Mr. Brice said the prisoners
would be remanded for further examination, and in the
meantime directed that the girl should be placed under the
Me of the matron at the police central station, and that
medical attendance should be immediately given to her by
the surgeon of the force. The prisoners were then removed
to Bridewell amidst the execrations of the populace, who
aould with difficulty be restrained from laying violent hands
upon them. Indeed, but for the exertions of a large body
of police, they would have been maltreated.
