• • TILE COURT CALENDAR,
j.OI49IkAN and Inl4llol, V. Willaligaril .11114
OTHERS.
Airiujunction had been obtained by the
'tiffs in this case, restraining the Defendants from
publishing a work, entitled le livered Calendar,
on the [;rounds of its being a piracy of Ile Royal •
Calendar, a publication of a similar description,
the property of the Plaintiff*.
Mr. 'lane, on the part of the Defendants, now
applied to the Court, to have the injunction dis-
solved, on two grounds ; first, that the Plaintiffs
had no copywriglit of 77ie Royal Calendar; and,
secondly, that the work veiled The Imperial Caka-
dor, published by the Defendants, was not a copy
of the work published by the Plaintiffs. In sup-
port of these assertions, Mr. Haul stated, that, in
the publication of the Defendants, there were up-
wards of sixty pages of entirely original matter,
twenty lieges so differently arranged as to be in
etiect new, and, in the body of the work, were four
thonsaud three hundred words, which were uot to
he found in the publication of the Plaintiffs.' The
Learned Counsel, however, admitted, that, in some
parts, the works were similar; and all he wished
now to ask of his Lordship was, that the injunction
might be somodelb rl, as to admit of the Defendants
announcing to the public a new work, fur publica-
tion ou 'the first of next month, on condition of
their act infringing on the riglits of the Plaintiffs.
Mr. Fes asi bee followed on the same side.
Sir SAMUEL Itosllu.r, on the part of the Plain-
tiffs, udruitted the right of the Defendants to pub-
lish all such parts of their work as were origins!, or
its had not been copied from the work of the Mein-.
tiffs ; so partial, however, had the Defendants been
to that work, that they had copied the very errors,
a few of which the Learned Counsel said he would
point out to the Court. Amongst the titles given
to His Majesty was that of Bishop of Osnaburgh—
his Lordship (Mil Chancellor) was made to posses*,
and be a resident on, an estnte which probably his
Lordship never hive—Mr. Shaw Le Fevre was made
a Master in Chanceryl 1y111g•111 hospital wits es-
tablished, not for the wires of the Foot-Guards,
but for the Foot-Guar& themselves; the ward
wives having accidentally been omitted in The
Royal Caleudar, the error had seernicgly been
copied into The Imperial. The Learned Counsel
observed, he could not conceive it possible that rill
these errors could have found their vs-ay into the
publication of the Defendant*, if they had not Liven
copied from the original works The Royal Calendar.
Mr. DMA followed on the same side.
His Lonersoir, in delivering his opinion, ob-
served, that he could uot go the length of Staying
that there was no copyright ; and taking it for
granted that there war, the Defendants were not
justified its cup) ing from a work, the property of
the Plaintiffs. The sources famishing information
r.rprisite for works of the nature of those before the
Court, were open to the Defendants ; but they
were not at liberty to copy frow that supply whieb
the Plaintiffs had been at the expense of collect-
ing. His Lordship then instanced the case of A.
and B. A. should delineate and publish eh accu-
rate map of any particular county; uo peratm would
contend that fl. had therefore not a right also to
make end publish a map of that county ; and if
both were executed with ae:mnicy, there must ne-
cessarily lie a great simiiarity between them ; but
it never would he euntended, that if B. were
merely to copy the wurk of A. that Court could
not step in to protect the property of A. In
the civic of Kirby and Lyon, which hail been al-
luded to, Iris Lordship said, the subject was the
publication of a IVonderfal Magazine. Ne man
could doubt the right of any person to publish •
Wonderful Magasine, containing wonders ten thou-
sand times more wooded/1i than any which had
'been before published ; but he must on no account
copy the wooden of his predecessor. In The Royal
Calendar, he (the Chancellor) had hewn made to
possess as flue estate in Nordiumberlaud, and an-
°titre in Yorkshire, not au acre of either of which
were his property, nor was it likely they ever would
be ; these errors, and a considerable portion of The
Royal Calendar, had certainly beets copied by the
Defendants ; and, under these circumstances, his
Lordship was of opinion the injunction must be
continued ; the Defendants, or any other persons,
however, were at liberty to publish a Calendar for
next year, providing they refrained from infringing
on the property of the Plaintiffs ; site person had a
right to avail himself of those sources which were
open to him.
The injunction was confirmed.
