IIAYLY v. TAYLOR.

Mr. PEPY9 moved for an injunction to restrain the defend.
ant from publishing certain tables containing calculations for
the purchase of estates, &c. which were copied from the plain-
tiff's works. Mr. Bayly's affidavit stated, that he was the
author of three works containing various tables of calculations
of the above description. In the year 1811, a work was pub-
lished by the defendant, into which he perceived that several
of his tables had been copied. lie immediately remonstrated
with him upon the subject, when the defendant informed him
that he had purchased the work from Mr. Inwood, and re-
quested to be allowed to dispose of the remainder of that
edi-
tion. The plaintiff granted hitu this permission, upon his
promising to prefix a new preface to the remaining numbers of
the work, acknowledging that the tables in question had been
copied from Mr. Bayly's work. This promise the defendant
had. fultiiled ; so that he had himself ACknowledpil the piracy.
The plaintiff also mentioned the circumstance in a prefac,, to
another edition of one of his own works. However, notwith-
standing this, he had since discovered that the defendant had
published a subsequent edition of his work, containing the
same tables, with the same avowal of their piracy. Upon these
grounds, therefore, this piracy being calculated materially to
injure the publication of his works, the plaintiff asked for the
injunction.

LortiOirivonD inquired when the plaintiff had discovered
that his tables were published in .1 subsequent erlition I'
Mr. PEPIN said in June last.
Lord Oirrortn—Then he ought not to have waited until
now to make this application. lie has disentitled himself, by
the delay,
to the relief he seeks ; for were I to grant an injunc-
tion now, when the Court is about to rise for the vacation, the
defendant would have no opportunity of answering it before
text tenn.—Motion refused.

THE OLAMORG.tNSIIIRE
Mr. HEALD came into Court at a late hour in this day, and
stated to his Lordship that he had mentioned a motion of a
most Important nature to the Lord Chancellor, who replied
that he had devoted this day to bankrupt petitions, and would
therefore bear it to.morroW Mr. Ktueht, however, said he
was ready to meet him (Air. Heald) immediately behire Lord
(lifford.—(Loughter.)
Mr. said no such thing.
Mr. IlEat.D.—Upon which the Lord Chancellor directed
him (Mr. Heald) to accept Mr. Knight's challenge, and follow
him before the Master of the Rolls, He had not been able,
however, to come sooner, in consequence of being detained un-
til now by Mr. Montagu arguing a bankrupt petition. His
motion, of which notice had been served upon the other party,
was for an injunction to stop the widening and deepening of a
canal to the destruction of certain iron-works, which had al-
ready received the protyction of Parliament. The company
concerned in cutting this canal endeavoured to procure an Act
of Parliament last session, which his (Mr. Heald's) clients
successfully opposed ; and they were now endeavouring to do
that illegally, which it had failed them to procure the sanction
of Parliament to do.

Mr. Kmtotr.—Perhaps, to save your Lordship's time, I
may as well state here, not meaning to interrupt Mr. Heald,
that lam not prepared to meet this application now. If it is
said, then let the case stand over upon my giving an undertak-
ing to do nothing in the mean time, I reply that I have no
power to give any such undertaking; nor can I even hazard
a conjecture at the extent of the mischief it might occasion.—
The notice of which my friend has spoken was only served in
Olamorganshire the day before yesterday; and it was only this
morning that I saw the papers, through the courtesy of Mr. Heald'sjunior. From the magnitude of the case, it would be
quite impossible to give any undertaking, by which thousands
of persons would be thrown out of employment, and a work of
25 miles extent stopped. Under these circumstances, it is for
your Lordship to say what is to be done.
Mr. HEALD.—I certainly understood from my friend, Mr.
Knight, in the other Court, that an undertaking would be
given before your Lordship.
Mr. KNIGHT.—Then you misunderstood me; for there is
no person in London at this moment capable of giving such an
undertaking. _

Mr. HEALD—The notice which we have served has induced
the parties to appear at your Lordship's bar by their Counsel.
But 1 might have made the motion ex parte without giving
them any notice at all.
Mr. KNIGHT.--Undoubtedly you might have made the mo-
tion ex parte ; but I will not say what might have been the re.
suit of it. _ _

Lord Cltrvinto4-Mr. Heald, if you have given notice, the
other party ought to have time to put in an answer to your bill
for an injunction. If you moved e.r party, that would be ano-
ther thing.
Mr. KNIGHT—The notice was only served the day before
yesterday, and the bill filed only this morning.
After some further discussion, Lord 01Fr (min said, he feared
they must trouble the Lord Chancellor again with it.
Mr. HEALD was unwilling to occupy the Lord Chancellor's
time. Perhaps the Court would order them to meet this case
within a given time.
Lord Uirroan.—You must mention it to the Lord Chan-
cellor.

Mr. lltALD.—After what your Lordship has said, I shall
only mention It to the Lord Chancellor to fix a time for hear.
ing it.
Mr. KNIGIIT.—We are quite ready to submit to have it
heard, at any time and place your Lordship pleases to appoint.
Lord OtrFOßD.—There will be some difficulty about that.
Mr. lIEALD.—I shall dispose of the case so far as regards
myself now; for I shall not be present at its hearing. lam err-
tninly entitled to move it ex-parte, and I will consider whether
I ought not to do so.
Lord Oirronn.—Very well, do so, and mention it to-mor-
row.
