unit Mr. BEiIk•DELL, moved. for an Order to dis-
solve an injnneticiii:isSued against4the Proprietors
of .Covent-Gorden Theatre, aletv years since,
,to
~.restrain them from performing,. or causing to be
';performed, aertain.„Farces or Theatrical Pieces, at
the Theatres;of! Drury-Lane or Covent-Garden,
7without.license from Mr.AOrris, whose property
-..the,pieceS. Were, by virtue, of
.assignments from
Mr.-Colman, . the Author of most of•thetn. The.
grounds of this niotion were objections to thefor-
mality otthewords of the injunction, which creat-
ed a long discussions on the consideration that
the-same was not :inflici6ntly specific,- so as to pro-
hibit not only the performance by the defendants
of the pieces in question, hilt likewise the caus-
ing or procuring the performance of them in any
manner by other persons, without liCence froM Mr.
Morris.
BELL opposed the motion on the ground of
its novelty, and- the long acquiescence of the de-
fendants un.der the Same,.without atiyapplication
to this Court. for varying or rectifying the terms
.of the injunction, eontenkling With much force
and ingenuity, in the. absence through illness of
his Learned Leader, Sir Samuel J.Zorilly, whom
we are glad to. hear to be.4ow inA;forward state
of. ameudment that the precedent would lead to
endless incouveniencein consuming the time of
this Court., in the like, motions at any indefinite
„period.
The LORD CHANCELLOR considered the case
new, but not 'unprecedented and after a learned
dinuisition on the doctrine of such cases, on
Which he had lately seen a case not cited at the
Bar, which he would find ;. with Chat view, his
Lordship deferred judgnient.
CONTEMPT.
Mr. BELL afterwards moved for an order to
commit. Mr.. Kemble and .Mr. Harris, the defen-
thaltS, to the Fleet Prison, for contempt of Court,
in infringing the order of injunction, by publish-
ing and, performing one of the dramatic pieces, on
the 30th of November last, after notice of pro..
hibition from Mr. Morris, in violation of the in-

junction.
This motion created an animated discussion;
which lasted till the rising of the Court, near foer
This defendant's. Counsel objecting to, the in-
formality of the notice of motion, ,and denying,
on the authority of a late similar motion, in the
case of " Waters v. Taylor," respecting the re-
ceipt or taking away of the nightly money of the
Thea_44-.7---b-y714r.--Taylor, again-Si an injunction,
contending that there was no evidence of the de-
fendant's having perknmed the piece in question.
The piece was published for performance by mis-
take merely, and they informed Mr. MorriS it
should not be repeated at the present time, but
that they did not wave the future right of per-
forming this on the ground of the great length of
time that the piece had /been published by whialt
it became public property. • •
To this it was replied,• that there was.no trans-
fer by sale assignment of the copyright from Mr.
MovrisLthe:assignee and owner of the same.
The Loan CpANCELLOR stated, that he should
carefully read the affidavits and injunctions in this
new and difficult case, which were handed up to
hitn. Judgment was of course postponed.
