Tit is wa' an anion brought against the Defent
dant, for criminal conversation with the Plaintiff's
wife.

Mr. Ylmciiv, for the Plaintiff, opened the
cause. He stated., that his client, then a Gentlethan's
servant, had,.. in the year 1796, married a young
woman of the name of Copland, a native 'of Bed_
fordshire, with whom lie had a portion of 2001. ;
that he came to London to take a house fur
self and his .wife, whither they removed shortly
after their marriage that as the; Plaintiff Was
necessarily from home through the day, the De_
fondant took the opportunity, in his absence, to
seduce his wife, whose affections he had corn-
pletely alienated. It appeared from the evidence ,
of a great number of Witnesses, that the Plaintiff
had himself. been privy to his Wife's miscondtiEt,.
and that he had even handed her over 'to- the em:
braces of the Defendant, as well as to those of
other men. It also appeared, in the course of'
the evidence, that the Plaintiff had estranged
himself from his wife's coniPany," and preferred
that of other women ; and that he hid spewed the
greatest indifference for her, ever since their
Marriage._

Lord KE N rosy observed, that this was' p gross,
andlcandalous care inde.ed ; he wondered, after
the evidence he hack heard, how the Plaintiff
could have had the assurance to bring the pee-
sl4nt ,Aaion, he having been the chief instrUtnent
of his own disgrace. His Lordship said the Jury
ought not to hesitate one moment in.bringing in
their verdict for the Defendant.-; Perdia for

CAREY V. LONGTAN 'AND REES;

THIS was an Ataion brought by the Plaintiff,
'Mr. Carey, who is the Author and Proprietor
of a Book, called' if Carey's Itinerary," against
the two Defendants nominally, but the real De.
fendant was Mr. Newberyj the Proprietor of a
BOA called '4 Patterson's Roads," for Damages;
iirt consequence of the Defendant's having pirated
the material parts of the Itinerary, and put them
into .the r 2th Edition of the Book of Patter-
son's Roads, of which Mr, Newbery is the Pro-.
prietor. .
It was found, that the Plaintiff, Mr. Carey,
was, some years ago, employed by the Post_
Office, undcrthe authority of Lord WALSING-
H AM, to make a general -.Survey. of the
Country, and to take the Distances between the.
most material Places, and that he had. made the
Survey and Adincasurement, for upwardi of 9000:
for which he was plid at the rate of 9d.
a Mile, and that Lord Walsingham had given
directions that Mr. Carey should put all the
provements he became possessed Of into Iris
tiOary, for the Public ase, and that,hf should
hiiv,s all the Countenance which the Post-Office
B(1 give him,; upon which he published his
ok, inch aftem,trds.came out the r zth Edition,
olPatterson's Roads, in which ail theselmprove-
ments -were copied, and that was not denied on
the pact of the nefendant, Mr. Newbery, but
it was.,contended, that, as at Common Law, no
Ain' hal 'the' tltdush,e. Right to ,a Book, the
PliNliff*, ccl-tild not recover, and
tiNt `the' onlV loundatibn, if any there Was,. for
thE Afflon, dust be on the Statute of the Bth of
Q'tift MO, y'lßchi secured to Anthots:, the sole
Right their Books for a gii,en time :
That, .inordcr to entitle himself to this, he rou,si'
etiFiv,e himSe!t to. he the Author of the Book
IA(0, 'upon this head, it was submitted by. Mr.
tfaiii, that Mr. CarOy Wok all the' Main' parts
of his Book from the i ith Edition of Mr. Patter.
son's Roads, and, that, as the maili design was
'copied, the Plaintiff' had no right to ecimplain,
that he had not the benefit of the Invention of
this Work: that 'Mr. Newbery, who was
the Owner of the Book of Patterson's 'Roads,
had a greater reason to complain of Mt..Cdrey, for
pirating' frdn the nth Edition of 'the Book of
Patterson's. Roadt; in the first initance, than
Mr. Carey had in the second, against Mr. New:
bery, for pirating his in the I 2th Edition.—
That it would be hard indeed, if Mr: Carey
should, because he had improved upon 'the Book
of Patterson's Roads, and had incorporated those
Improvements, into the Book.tff
,Patterson's
Roads, and given it .a new title, for it *as no
more., than that be should prevent Mr.,-New.,
bery from publishing
.his own;. Property, with'
Improvements, as well as Mr. Qirey.
There was no doubt 'it that Mt'. Carey had,
as well borrowed much of his liinerary from Pat.
terson's Roads, as that the last Editiop of that
Book had .borrowed the Improvements or Mn
Carey,--and it was stated, that Mr. Carey hid,
sometime ago, filed his Bill of Injunaion in the
Court of, Chancery .against these Nrties-, com-
plaining as he .did by this-Adion, whiebßill was
dismissed Lotto Ortvi. NC t. 1. 0 R
After the whole of the Evidence had Irmo:-

OVA being ()pencil on the ..patt,of the Defendant,
as above stated, t• •
