which now prevail -between pauper children
ald others. He is anxious to have them
all placed on the same level, and taught
equally to love each other. His is a
scheme of fraternization, not of concentration of
authority. He is sensible, by the existence of
numerous foundations for the middle and upper
classes, that eleemosynary instruction is not
disparaging ; and he will relieve the, pauper
class of children from any feeling of depen-
dence or degradation, by making them the
schoolfellows and the playmates of the non-
paupers. Equality is the Right Hon. Baronet's
aim, and he means, therefore, to secure the same
advantage for the children of the industrious and
the children of the idle.

CHANCERY-COURT.-THIS DAY.

SEELEY V. FISHER.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case' which was argued before the Court on Wednesday lass.
His Lordship observed that the injunction, which the present
motion sought to dissolve restrainel the endan's from pill:-
fishing the edition of Scott's Bible, which they had cons-
menced publishing in numbers, with a certain wrapper, con-
taining a description of the Book, and also fro .r.
publishing any advertisement or statement to the effect
that the work contained or would contain the whole of the
observations of Thomas Scott and the last corrections and im-
provements made by him which he bequeathed to the world.
Now the first observation upon that was that there was no such
advertisement, for, as his Lordship read it, it could have no
such interpretation. It was assumed that the advertisement
announced to the world that the edition published by the
defendants contained all the last corrections and improvements
made by Scott ; in his Lordship's opinion, the advertisement
answered anything but that description. So far, therefore, as
the advertisement formed part of the injunction, there was no-
thing to support it. The next subject for consideration was
the wrapper. The question was not ore of piracy, becaire it
was admitted by the plaintiffs that the defendants had nut rub-
fished anything of that in which the former claimed a copyright.
The defendants had not published the fifth editi, n, and it was
admitted that the fourth edition was not covered by any copy-
right, and it was not disputed that the defendants had a right
to reprint all that was in the fourth edition. It was equally
clear that the plaintiffs had a copyright in the fifth edi-
tion, but of what that edition consisted was rot clearly
stated in the affidavit, but there could be no doubt that
Mr. Scott, the author of the former editions, did
subsequent to the publication of the fourth edition employ him-
self in making alterations and additions to that edition, and
therefore there did exist at the time of his death that which
formed the subject of copyright, to which the plaintiff was en-
titled. Now the compiaint against the defendants was,
that they had announced to the world that they were
publishing something more than was contained in the
fourth edition ; and the :question to be considered was,
looking at the advertisement and the wrapper, whether such
was the fact. If the defendants had announced that thelr
work contained that which was in the fifth eiiition, then they
would be publishing that to which the plaintiff was entitled ;
and it would come within the terms of the injunction. But if
it appeared from the advertisement and the wrapper that what
they meant to convey to the public was that the fourth
edition contained all that was the work of Mr.
Scott, and that any further works professing to be his were not
true, that might be the subject of complaint on the part of the
plaintiffs, but it was not matter for an injunction. Now,
looking at the terms of the advertisement and wrapper, his
Lordship could not but think that that which was in-
tended by the defendants was to hold up to the world that
nothing after the fourth edition was the work of Scott. On both
these documents, therefore, it was clear to his Lordship's mind
that it was not held out by the defendants that they intended
to publish that in which the plaintiffs had a copyright, and until
a Jury had told him that he was wrong in that conclusion, he
felt bound to dissolve the injunction.—lnjunction dissolved.
The Court then proceeded to hear lunatic petitions and
appeals.
