away the rights which had been conferred on public bodies, or indi-
viduals, 90 years bcfoic that period.
1.-rd ELLENEOROUGM thought it was dear, the person who pre—
pared the .ict of the 41st of the King, thought the right only extended
to books actually entered at Stationers' Hall.
Mr. LITTLEDALE contended that this was not sufficient to take
away the tight given by the statute of Queen Anne to the Plaintiff,
end the other Public Libraries in England and Scotland ; and the
91 •
ltion was, if the Court would give effect to the positive enactment
o
of the statute of Queen Anne, or would they limit it by the words, ,
or rather by the recital of this statute ?
Mr. BROUGHAM, fur the Defendant, said, he, on the other hand,
had to coy tend that the entry at Stationers' Hall was, in this case, a
condition precedent. But, said the statute, according to the inter-
pr tat put upon it by his Learned Friend, " Though ycu do not
choose to enter your work at Stationers' Hall, and thereby avail your-
beir of the privilege of suing for any penaities given unler this Act,
aris;tig from any attempt to infringe upon your copy-right, still you
are oud under the enactments of this statute which hears to ean
Actb forn protectiog the property of Authors 'for the benefit of their
their
fondles, to send 11 copies of your work to the warehouse-keeper at
Stationers' Hatt, for the use of the Public Libraries !" This, he ct,n-
tended, the Act could no. mean Why, if this was the • meaning of
the Act, not at once say, that a penalty should be incurred for not
sending a complete copy of every bunk to eat h of the Public Libraries?
Then, he came to the 41st of the King. There the description was
recognized as being not of bock., published, but of books entered iu
Stationers' Hail, and it was declared that oodles should be sent for the
use of all the eleven Public Libraries, " of every book which ,:ere-
after should b,2 printed or published, and the title or right whereof
shall be entered in the books of the said Stationers's Company." The
Legislature had here, for the second time, and twice in this cite sec-
tion, put on that which was before doubtful, the interpretation
which he was now contending for..
Mr. LITTLEDALE replied.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion, that the judgment for the
Plaintiff in this case ought to be affirmed.
Mr. Justice LE BLANO and Mr. Justice BAILEY delivered their
opinions to the same effect ; and
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it had been agreed at the trial, that the De-
fendant should have dberty to turn the case into a special verdict, if
the Court pleased. He now begged that the Court would be pleased
to give liberty to the Dclericlant to do so.
Lord ELLENBOkOUGH said the Court had given their opinion; but
still it was a queaion which had been much aoirated ; a very great
interest, too, was concerned, and no person could say the Defendant
was to blame in carrying it farther. Let it be understood, however,
that there was to be no farther argument on the subject in that Court.
Mr. Ilicouc lame said, surely not.
'Cite POSTEA was accordingly stayed in the meantime, that the De-
Undant might take the k:eccssary steps tor. having the.special verdict
argued in Exchequer Chamber.

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

Weifnestlay morning, about nine o'clock, a Reverend Gentleman,
endeavouring to avoid being arrested hv a Sheriff's Officer, leaped out
of a two-pair of stairs window of a house near Pimlico, and was taken
In a very bad state to St. George's Hospital, attenttcd by the Officer.
About three o'clock on Tuesday tnorning, a fire, which at first
threatened the destruction of the building, broke out at the Pantheon
Theatre. Between tour and five the flatn-es were happily got under,
the only parts burnt being those between the stone front and the
Theatte ; viz. the passages and the lobbies. No lives were lost.
On Wednesday morning, in a shrubbery near Uxbridge, a well
dressed man in black was discovered suspended from one of the trees
Peters cut the body down, but there were no signs of life, and it was
conveyed to a neighbouring house to be owned. Letters were found
an the pocket of the deceased, and he was traced to be a Mr. Tamreet,
lately a French teacher at an academy in the neighbout:ood of Isling-
ton. 1-le had been seen at Uxbridge two or three days before, and it
is conjectured distress was the cause of suicide.
On Monday evening, about nine o'clock, as a Chelsea Pensioner was
returning home, he was attacked in Sloane-street by three or four won,
who knocked him down, and robbed him of his watch. As soon as
he recovered himself, he called " Stop thit.f r' A young man of the
name of Gall, hearkg the alarm, pursued one man and took him, at
the corner of Has strco, whey two of his gang came up and rescued
him before any assistance could be procured.
CALITION.—Tix ill effects of suppressing the common drift of
nature was proved in a melancholy instance, which occurred on Sun-
day last. Mr. 'Fulmer, of Kennington, being at churCh, was, during
the sermon, suddenly seized with an inclination to sneeze—not wishing
to disturb the congregation, he suddenly suppressed the effint, and
the revulsion of his nerves was such, that a bl )od-vessel was burst in
his lungs. He was instantly seized with a dizziness, and fell to the
ground. On being taken up, a consi,;erable quantity of blood came
Irr,m his mouth. He was conducted to his own house, and, in deti-
aLce of the best surgical assistance, died on Tuesday evening.
