ley and others, until the preset 4 time ; and. went
through a succin& review of, the labours of, the So-

Mr. David .Day, from near Rochester,.vaS then
called on, in the Class of Agriculture, . to:reteive his
letter, or order, for the Silver Medal awarded to him,
• but v. hick the Noble PreSident informed hint and
The other'Candidates_' was not vet. ready for. delivery,
psving to a very recent accident with the die when
striking the medals fort his occasion.
Mr. Day, at the request of his Grace, stated seve-
„tal particulars'. relating' to his long experience as a
planter of ash, having- -beeu almost among the first
of those rewarded in this Class by the,,,Society ; and

siid, that on particniar small spots the prodUce of his
'plantation has increased •in value ,'no less than
4801. per acre in.three'years ! This veteran planter
stated, that neither chalk or clay are well adapted
- to the growth of ash, but that sand is highly so
that, comparatively, poor land will pay' the best
for planting, although he had succeeded, on most
soils, with ash, which pays better than oak in
rneral.
In the absence of Major Spencer Cochrane, of
Scotland, a Member of the Society appeared to re-
ceive his order for a Silver Medal for tiie culture of
spring wheat, and for receipts for medicines fur
cattle, to be made from white poppies, to be grown

A Lady, who is a Mernb,er of the Society, was
next called on to receive an order for a Silver Medal
awarded to Miss D'Oyley, of Yorkshire, for her
improvement on the Egyptian mode of raising
chickens by art. This was stated to consist princi-
pally in causing the same hens to sit upon, end hatch,
successive sets of eggs, and raising the chickens by
means -of apparatus, called " artificial mothers;'
calculated to give the shelter and warmth to these
tender little creatures usually derived from the wings
'and feathers of a hen.

In the absence of Lord Redesdale, MI-. 'John
Taylor, a Member of the Society, received his order

the discovery and account of an ore of zinc, of from
three to six feet in thickness, found in certain ca•
verns on his Lordship's estate, at Malham'Moof,
in Craven, Yorkshire, -which is either applicable,
in its present state, for making pint, instead of
white lead, or for preparing metallic zinc, for the
many purposes to which the same is now applied in
the arts.

:in" elegant ALrocco purse, containing ten guineas,

soon after the Noble President took the Chair, the

for .the accommodation of the company, suddenly
gave way, and the company all fell to the ground.
Great con fuSion,of course, followed, and the screams
of the females excited much terror and apprehen-
sion : fortunately, however, no very great injury
was sustained ; 'a Gentleman was cut in the head,
and a yoting Lady received some bruises; but nei-
ther of them:m ere -hurt dangerously. We do not
understand the accident was attended with any other
serious consequences.

eoilßl' OV CHANCERY,
LONG AN AND CO;
Sir SAMUEL itO:,LILLY7IIOVCd this day for an in-
tb—prevent the Defendant, Mr. Njurrax,
bookseller, in London, from selling the periodical
publication; called The fdinbargh Review. He only
applied fin- an injunaion against this single Defend-
ant; as the others lived in. Scotland, and conse-
quently out of the jurisdiction of the Court. The
taiits, as Stated.- by the Learned Counsel, were shortly
these : Mr. Archibald. Constable carried on the
business of a bookseller, in Edinburgh; in the year
1802, dpon his own account, but has since entered
into partnership with Mr. Alexander Gibson Finn-
ter. The Plaintiffs are well-k sown and roped-
able booksellers in London. On the Ist of Odo-
ber, 1802, Mr. Constable commenced , printing The
Edinburgh Review, a work which was to be publisl.
ed quarterly ; the First Number .was published. in
October, 1802, by !11r. Constable, in Edinburgh,
and by Mr. n.vinan, a bookseller; in Londene=---
About that time Messrs. Longman and Co. received
a letter from Mr. Constable, stating, that he had been
desired by the Editors of The Edinburgh Review
to offer them that work, provided they agreed to
pay half of the paper, printing, &c. &c. and to Sup 7
ply all new _publications which the Editors might
haveoccasion for, in carrying.on the said work. It
stated also, that the first' Number been com-
pletely published, and 125() copies .Of` the. second
Number, of the etpence of which they (Longman
and Co.) must needs bear a part. The, Learned.
Counsel observed, that the Defendants meant to
alledge that the. Plaintiffs Were not-proprietors,.. but
.what he was to shew was, that 'they were joint-pro-
, prietors along with Mr. Constable ; the Reviewers
and Editors being to be paid certain stated sums,
while a'l the einoliaments of it .were, by the
•
agreement which had taken place, in conse-
quence of the offer made by Mr.
_Constable;
to belong to Mr. Constable and-also to Messrs.
Longman and Co. In answer to the above letter,
Messrs. Longman and Co. wrote to Mr% Constable),
expressing themselves flattered with thecominunica-
tion .he had. made, and stating that they had con-
ferred with Mr. Mawman upon the subject, but had
not yet finally determined upon it.: Mr. Constable
again wrote in reply; stating, that the Plaintiffs were.
still at liberty to take a.Shlire in the 'work, if they
pleased ; referred them again to ,Mr. Mawman, and
wished .them to inform ,him as. soon as they had
made up their minds., On this the Plaintiffs appliLat
to Mr. Mawman, who agreed to give' up all his in-
terest in the work, upon their paying- all the expences
he had incurred. In consequence of this, Messrs'.
Longman and Co. informed Mr. Constable that
they had no objeCtion to take a share in the work as
a stock book, that is, to share, equally With the pro--
prietors, Whether the sale was greater: in London
than in Edinburgh. Mr.. Constable accordingly
agreed to this, proposal of making it a stock book,
wished them to advertise it, and when they' publish-,
ed a new work, to send a copy of it ,to hint for:the
use of the proprietorS and editors. Under such
agreement, the work has since been published regu:
lady,' and the Plaintiffs have regularly borne half
the expellees of ;the work„ and furnished books to
the Reviewers down to the present time. • The t gth
Number ought to have appeared on . the lath of
April last. It did not, however, arrive, and Messrs:
Longman and Co, wrote' to Mr. Constable, inquire
ing why it was not sent ? and were informed that he
would not continue to send it ;in future. It has
since been printed by Mr. Constable, in Edinburgh,
and sent to Mr. Murray, in London. -By the agree-
ment they had entered into, it was understood that .
Mr. Jeffreys was-to receive 2001. as Editor, and the
Reviewers were to be paid:so much a sheet for what
they supplied, so that the work belonged to the
publishers, and to no other person. This work has
turned out extremely -profitable, although at the
time Messrs. Longman engaged in it, it was eery
doubtful whether it would be successful or not.--It
was, thereforee a hazardous concern; and whatever
loss might have arisen would have been the-loss of
Messrs. Longman as well as of Mr. Constable.—....
pay Mr. Mawman the loss he
TstahteedPlialianytiinti-;
tohad pay
while it was in his hands.
Underthese circumstances, the Learned Counsel ar-
gued, that there was a partnershiprbetween Mr. Con.-
stable and the Plaintiffs, regard to the work in
question, which lie was not entitled to do away, by
transferring it to any other person..
LORD CHANCELLOR—" Was there an agreement
to do this for any given time % •
COUNSEL—" Yes, rmy Lord, it was to be done
quarterly, so that the- publication was to proceed as
periodically as any newspaper."
LORD CITANCELLOR—". Does the new concern
take the title of the old one ?"

COUNSEL-." Yes, my Lord, it is exaetly the
same publication) aid the title-page of the ►9lll
number only differs from former Numbers, by hay-
ing the Number 19, and the name of Murray, in-
stead of Longman and Co."
Loan CHANCELLOR ---="1 think this case falls
within the principles of the case of Kirby c_Hogg,
where a work was sold as a continuation of an Origi-
nal concern. If I were right in granting- an injunc-
tion in that case, I shall be equally right in doing
so in this one.,,—injuntlion granted.'

COURT OF KING's BENCIL, GUILDHALL, MAY 27.

SIrIINGS lIFFORE LORD ELLENBOROUGIi.

ALLEN V. HAGELL.

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff as the
indorser of a bill of exchange for 451. 3s. Gd. agailfsf
the Defendant, the acceptor. The Plaintiff made guf
a prima facie case, and the Defendant, in answer,
contended that the bill, since it was accepted, had
been phered, and that the date, which was originally
'the loth of February, had been changed to the 20th.
He insisted, therefore, that it was anew undertaking;
and the bill in law was a bad, one, inasmuch as it
should have bad a fresh stamp, and ,a new accept-
ance, to have made it legal'. He added; that it was
an,accommodation bill, and that the drawer was
dead. The Counsel employed for the Defendant
then put in a memorandum of the drawer's, made in
his life time, corroborating the fmt of the bill hav-
ing been drawn for his accommodation, and of its
having been altered with respect to its date subse-
quently to the acceptance.
