LA W. INTELLIGENCE.—June 14.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
SHEPHERD AND CRESWICK V. CONQUEST.

This was an action for breach of dramatic copyright.
The declaration alleged that the plaintiffs were the pro-
prietors of a dramatic piece called Old and Young Joe;
and that on 17 different occasions the defendant bad
caused certain parts of it to be represented without the
permission of the plaintiffs, and had thereby forfeited
40s. for each representation.

The defendant pleaded not guilty, and that the plain-
tiffs were not the sole proprietors.

Mr. Serjeant Bytes and. Mr. Russell were counsel fur
the plAintiffs ; arid Mr. Warren, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins
far the defendant. _

Thp plaintiffs are lessees of the Surrey Theatre. The
defendant is the proprietor of the Grecian Saloon, City-
rand. Mr. Shepherd. the plaintiff, deposed that pre-
viously to the year 1852 an Author, named Courtney, wa,
employed by them to write and adapt pieces for the stage,
and in that year was sent bythem, and at their expense,
to Paris, to procure materials for adaptation. Upon his
return be produced a niece, adapted from the French,
which he entitled Old Joe and Young Joe, for
which they paid him 41. Previously to this Courtney
had entered into a written engagement with them upon
the occasion of his writing a piece called Lizzie Lee, that
that piece, and all his subequent productions purchased
by them, should be their sole property in London, Court
ney reserving the property in it in respect of country
representations. This agreement, which was in the shape
of a letter, he bad mislaid, and was unable to produce.
Old .Toe anti{ Young Joe was produced at the Surrey
Theatre in October, 1853. On the 15th November, 1854,
leourtneyentered into another agreement in writing with
them, that all dramas written by him up to that date,
with certain exceptions therein mentioned, should be
their property. On the other hand, Courtney, though
called as a witness for the plaintiffs, in consequence of
the difficulty arising from the non-production of the
original agreement, swore that that agreement related to
Lizzie Lee and previous works only, and was not an
'agreement in prospectu. He also denied that he went to
Paris at the expense of the plaintiffs, or that he was then
in their employment by the receipt of wages. It was
admitted on the part of the defendant that the piece in
question had been performed 17 times at the Grecian
Saloon
Mr. Warren then addressed the jury for the defendant,
who clainuid the right of representing the piece by the
written authority of the author, Courtney, and put in
evidence a document, bearing date the 24th July, 1854,
whereby, in consideration of 41. paid to him by the de-
fendant, Courtney assigned to the defendant the sole
right of representing Old Joe and Young Joe, at the
Grecian Saloon, or at any place within a mile thereof.
Mr. Serjeant Ryles, in replying upon this evidence,
contended that if Courtney procured the piece for the
plaintiffs in Paris, when sent there for the purpose by
them, and at their expense, it was their property, and
Courtney .had no power to assign it to the defendant.
The Lord Chief Justice told the jury that tbere was a
conflict of evidence, not between the plaintiff (Mr. Shep-
herd) and' Courtney, his own witness, and as respected
the original agreement, left it to the jury •to decide be-
tween them. With respect to the other point, hie lord-
ship said that if the jury thought Courtney bad been
sent by the plaintiffs to Paris, and had been employed
by them to write or adapt the piece for them, he thought
that gave them copyright in the representation of the
piece, and they were entitled to recover. If they thought
otherwise their verdict should be for the defendant.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs ; and, in
answer to the Lord Chief Justice, said they thought
Courtney had been sent to Peril at the plaintiffs' ex-
pense, and had adapted the piece for them.
Verdict for the plaintiffs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—June 14.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CASE OF C. W. BEVAN.

(Continued front our impression, of yesterday. )

The first witness called was Mr. Stephen Cracknell,
one of the directors, who, in addition to confirming the
particulars entered into by the learned counsel, stated
that when he called upon the prisoner to produce the
vouchers from the Home Counties, prisoner said he had
them, and sent the messenger down to fetch the book,

but Ultimately admitted that he had not got them, a,4
there was a question of account between him and the
company.

Mr. Mills, a gentleman acting as secretary to the
mile Counties office, wai called, to prove the transac-

tion rel,ktive to the re-assurance of the policies, and said
that when the prisoner paid him for the four, he asked
him to him have the other two without paying the
premiums upon them. Witness di,l so, and had much
trouhle to get them hack. Prisoner owed him a private
. .

debt of some amount, which he paid with the cheque for
2011.175. 6d., and it was only by threatening to keep the
balance that prisoner returned the vouchers. Prisoner
came and paid the premium upon the remaining vouchers
upon the day the directors had written to the Some
Counties office about them. This witness admitted, in
cross-examination, that there had been money transac-
tions between him and the prisoner, but not in any way
connected with the present case. Witness was fond of
sporting, and had sold prisoner two horses. Witness had
written some works upon sporting, but WM not a racing
prophet ; neither was he the "Joe Muggins's Dog," of
one of the sporting Sunday papers.
The remainder of the evide,.ce, which was of a very
lengthy and complicated character, went to prove that
the manager of the Birmingham branch, having paid
over to the prisoner, upon the 16th of Juno, the sum of
1001.• from a person named Danks, th 3 prioner, instead
of paying that over to the company, had used that
money to pay for the offices at Birmingham, and had
given to the person from whom he received it a receipt
dated a month in advance. The prisoner had, it ap-
peared, after giving his word that he would n)t do any-
thing to cast any discredit upon thesDepo,it and General
Life Assurance Company, put an advertisement into the
Times reflecting upon it, and the result was that one of
the directors had requested him to put in a counter ad-
vertisement ; but this he had not done, being, when re-
quested so to do, the secretary of the new company.
From the general tenor of the answers given in the cross-
examination it appeared that the board -f directors had
been negli ,ent in inspecting the affairs of the company,
and seemed to have trusted nearly all to the prisoner
without over'ooking

Some statements having been made by prisoner rela-
tive to Lord Drumlanrig, the chairman of the company,
his lordship was examined, and said—l once had from
prisoner a cheque for 751., either in August or July,
1853, as director's fees. Ido not recollect sending from
Limmer's Hotel for a cheque for 801. I have lent the
company 300/. ; that was, I think, when I was in Scot-
land.
