LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, FEB. 26.
CALLAGHAN V. DOVE.

Mr. WRIGHT, in the couse of the day, moved for
an injunction to restrain the defendant, the printer
of a Greek and English Lexicon, compiled by the
plaintiff, from selling the work at a higher price
than a guinea and a half. The parties had entered
into a contract that 3,000 copies of the work should
be printed by the defendant, and that they should
be sold for that price, and the plaintiff's remunera-
tion was to be postpone:l until the whole of the
copies should be sold. The plaintiff had recently
discovered that the defendant had fixed the price of
the work at two guineas, the consequence of which
would necessarily be, to make the whole impression
of slower sale, and the plaintiff, therefore, applied
for the order of the Court to restrain the defendant
from this breach of the agreement.
His LORDSHIP did not think the fac,s s'ated war-
ranted such an application, and consequently re-
fused to make the order.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 26.
HULLETT AND ANOTHER V. HAGUE.

This was an action for the infringement of a
patent invention for evaporating fluids rapidly, at
comparatively low temperatures. The patent had
been granted in 1828, to Mr. W. Godfrey Kneller,
the original inventor, and wa,tassigned by him to
the plaintiffs, Messrs. Hulletr and Widder, sugar-
refiners. The process, it appeared, was applicable
principally to the purpose of evaporating sugar.
The invention was sta•ed to consist in fcreing
through a pipe, by means of a bellows, or other
blowing apparatus, atmospheric or any. other air, in
a hot or cold state, through the liquid or solution
subjected to evaporation. This, it was said, was a
much simpler mode than that employed by Howard's
well-known apparatus. It was admittted on the
part of the plaittiffs that the principle of introducing
a'r into the mass of eYapora•ing fluid was not new,
but the invention of the process was claimed as
original. The defendant, however, denied the ori-
ginality, and insisted that the apparatus was con-
structed from a specification of a patent invention of
Messrs. Knight and Kirk, in 1822, for .a similar pur-
pose of evaporation by the application of currents
of hot a'r through a coil-pipe or a perforated cul-
lender. It was insisted on the part of the defendant
that his machine had been constructed from Knight
and Kirk's specification, and that the plaintiffs' had
also been taken therefrom.

On the part of the plaintiffs Mr. Farey, Mr.
Beale, and other scientific men were examined.
They all gave it as their opinion that Kneller's
apparatus was an original invention, and one of
great utility.
_ .

For the defence several witnesses were call to
prove that there ‘ias no novelty in Kneller's inven-
tion ; that it was in fact taken from Knight and
Kirk's specification.
The Jury found for the plaintiffs, for nominal
damages.

LENT ASSIZES.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—READING, Fien. 26.

William Brown was indicted for setting fire to a
straw-stack at Abingdon, on the 25th of December.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor,
that he went with his family to St. Helen's church,
on the evening of Chris.mas-day, and was called out
by his son, who told him his stack was burning.—
There were a great number of ather witnesses
called, who det-dled 'at great length the circum-
stances of the fire; but the case was altogether one
of suspicion against the prisoner, arising from a com-
parison of the foot-marks with his booti, and his be-
ing supposed to be on ill ttrms with the prosecutlr.
The prisoner (who was a butcher at Abingdon)
received an excellent character.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury
immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
This trial lasted very nearly nine hours.

There are eleven causes entered for trial at Nisi
Ptius, one of which is a special jury case, but no
business of importance is expected.

SURREY SESSIONS, FEB. 26.

Samuel Marden, a coal-merchant, residing in tile
Albany-road, Camberwell, was indicted for stealing
a fur tippet, value 175., the property of Angel
Boxsius, a furrier, on Newington-causeway. The
trial of the prisoner excited an extraordinary degree
of interest, owing to the singular ty of the dream.
stances attending the charge, and attracted a crowded
Court during the proceedings, which la,ted from ten
uutil five o'clock in the afternoon.

Mr. BACON having stated the ease on the piirt of
the prosecution,
Angel Boxsius was called, and he stated, that on
the 28th of January last, the prisoner called at his
shop, relative to the delivery af some coals with
which he had supplied him. Previously to the ar-
rival of the prisoner at the residence of the prose-
cutor, the latter removed a fur tippet, which was on
the counter near the door, to a desk at the upper end
of the shop, close to the parlour window. The pri
soner remained there about an hour and a half al
together, and was enveloped in a cloak.' During
some part of the time the prisoner was left alone in
the shop, the boy having been sent to an adjoining
street to borrow a shovel. When the boy returned,
the prisoner took the shovel in one hand, and, with
the other underneath his cloak, turned over a few
shovelfulls of coals in order to let prosecutor see the
-quality of them, and he left the shop soon afterwards,
the time he went away being about a quarter after
six o'clock in the evening ; the shop was closed a*
nine o'clock. There were three ladies called at the
shop during the time the prisoner was there rela-
tive to furs, but . they did not approach that part
where the tippet was placed. Prosecutor missed the
tippet the next morning, and did not hear any thing
about it until the afternoon of the 14th inst,, when,
while standing at the door, he observed a young
lady pass with the tippet in question on her shoulders;
and, in explanation of the manner :in which it had
come into her possession, she unhesitatingly de-
scribed that it had been sent' to her by Mr. Marden,
on the 29th of January, with a letter begging her
acceptance of it. The prisoner was subsequently
taken into custody, and then stated that he had
purchased the tippet of an aged man on the morn-
ing
of the 29th of January, near the Elephant and
Castle,is
proceeding from his residence to
h
man offered it for 108., but that he ultimately let him
in Montagu-close, and adding, that the,
have it for 7s. The prosecutor added,
.that Stowell,
a parish constable, a man named Morris, and his
