LAW INIELLIGENCE—(This Day).

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before Sir W. Page Wood.)
PLATT V. 'WALTER.—"TILE 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. Haddam, Mr.
Boys, and Mr. Plummer were for the defendants.
The Evening Mail is 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 80th 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. The'secret of the matter
seems to be that the proprietors of the Times, who are the
defendants to this bill, and the majority of whom are the
descendants of John Walter, " the grandfather," or take
through descendants, wish to keep the management of their
paper and all belonging to it in the hands of the family re
presentative, Mr. Walter, without any interference from
other parties--outsiders. The bill contains an extract from
the will of the founder of the Times, which is as follows :
" And as the said papers (the Times and the Evening
Mail)were raised under my inspection, and I well know that
by dissension and difference of opinion between the par-
ties thereto, as to the mode of their being conducted, the
property may be injured and the fabrics I have raised
tumbled to the ground, I do therefore entreat, and it is my
will, and I direct that my son John shall and will continue
to have the sole management of the said papers." The
will went on to direct that Mr. John Walter should receive
£l,OOO for his management. This will was made in 1810,
and John Walter, the grandfather, died in 1812. Since that
date the head of the Walter family has had the sole man-
agement of both papers. The proprietors of the Evening
Mail are descendants of Mr. Thomas Platt, who was the
attorney of John Walter, the grandfather, and from whom
he received shares in the Evening Mail.
After hearing the learned counsel for both sides,
His Honour ordered that matters should go on as here-
tofore with respect to the printing and publishing of the
Evening Mail, and that no steps for the sale of the good-
will and copyright of the said paper should take place
until after the hearing of the cross suits instituted by the
respective parties.

A VERY HARD CASE.—A woman presented her-
self at the central police-station, Chicago, the other day,
and complained that though she had two husbands in the
army she could get no relief from either the comity or the
City war committee.
