CH.A.NCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn,

CIIAPPLE V. PIIRDAY.—FRA DIAVOLO.
tiThis case came before the Court upon appeal on the part
pOof defendant, Mr. Purday, from the decision of the Vice-
neellor of England dismissing the plaintiff's bill, without
ttng the defendant his costs. The circumstances of the
Fro were these :—The plaintiff, Chapple, in the year 1841,
ped his bill, claiming the copyright in a musical work called
144Pidloolo, and praying the usual relief, and also an in-
Iti,`44on to restrain the defendant from pirating that work.
We defendant put in an answer to the bill denying the title
t2e plaintiff, and insisting that what he had done was no
37:". The plaintiff, upon filing his bill, obtained an in-
ti:o:lex parte against the defendant, but that injunction was
',Ted upon a motion for that purpose, and liberty was
421:1 to the plaintiff to bring an action; the plaintiff, how-
har-i instead of bringing his action, filed a supplemental
CI still asserting his title to the copyright. The de-
utt2 put in a further answer to that bill, insisting that
iTZsuestien involved was one of law, and challenging the
tiff to bring an action to try his right. Upon the case
on before the Vice-Chancellor, he ordered the bill to
r.e,tained for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the
ipru to pr teed and try the question by an action,
ordering, he did so within the twelve-
the bill to be dismissed with costs. The action
ir brought in the Court of Exchequer, and a verdict
p,
given against the plaintiff, thereby deciding that
L,Zu no title to the copyright. The caithe was then set
re_
ii:4„before the Vice-Chancellor upon further directions, and
nonour, upon that occasion, made an order dismissing
bill, simply
without giving the defendant his costs.
T:11 that order the present appeal was brought.
Cr.AAzdarson appeared for the defendant; Mr. Purday and
for the plaintiff.
TLlie arguments had not concluded when our afternoon
