LAW INfELLIGENCE—(TIIis Day).

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before Sir W. Page Wood:)
PLATT V. WALTER.—" THE TIMES" AND THE "EVENING

MAIL."

This was an interlocutory application by the proprietors
of the Evening Mail for an injunction against the proprie-
tors of the Times to compel them to continue the publica-
tion of the Evening Mail, at their premises at Printing
House-square.
Mr Rolt, Q.C., and Mr. Bagshawe were for the plaintiff ;
Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., Mr. Giffard, Q.C., Mr. Haddan, Mr.
Boys, and Mr. Plummer were for the defendants.
The Evening Malls a paper circulating principally in the
country, and is published on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays, in each week. It consists of a republication of the
contents of the Times of the same morning and the day
before, minus the advertisements, law, and police reports,
and plus some late market and Stock Exchange intellegence.
The Evening Mail was instituted by John Walter, the
grandfather of the present owner of the Times, in the year
1790, two years after the floating of the Times, and from
that date up to the present time the paper has been
printed at the Times office, and has been under the same
management as that paper. From 1861 (on the abolition
of the paper duty) the proprietors of the Times made
overtures to the proprietors of the Evening Mail with the
view of purchasing that paper for the sum of £12,000,
being, according to them, five years' purchase. The pro-
prietors of the Evening Mail refused to part with their pro-
perty, and, after some squabbling, applied for permission
to inspect the accounts of their paper, which were kept by
Mr. Walter at the Times office. At first this was refused,
but, after some correspondence, a balance sheet was fur-
nished them. Some further squabbling between the solici-
tors of the various parties ensued, and in the end, on the
Evening Mail proprietors steadily refusing to part with their
property, Mr. Walter gave notice to them of the dissolution
of the partnership between them and himself in the publi-
cation of the Evening Mail, and on the 21st of Dec., 1864,
further notice was given that after the 30th of December
the publication of the Evening Mail should no longer take
place at the office of the Times in Printing House-square.
Upon this the proprietors of the Evening Mail filed their
bill for an injunction as above. Thea'secret of the matter
seems to be that the proprietors of the Times, who are the
defendantsd to this bill, and the majority of whom are the
e.scendants of John Walter, " the grandfather," or take
