CHANCERY.—( T HIS DAY.)
.The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn,
ty, and heard appeals.
'CHAPPLE r. P RDAY. —FBA DIAVOLO.
This case came before the Court upon appeal on the part
g, the defendant, Mr. Purday, from the decision of the A ice-
Chancellor of England dismissing the plaintiff's bill, without
27ing the defendant his costs. The circumstances of the
re were these :—The plaintiff, Chapple, in the year 1841,
ted his bill, claiming the copyright in a musical work called
• Feu Dimvolo, and praying the usual relief, and also an in-
'auction to restrain the defendant from pirating that work.
The defendant put in an answer to the bill denying the title
Of the plaintiff, and insisting that what he hud done was no
praey.
The plaintiff, upon filing his bill, obtained an in-
3netion ex parte against the defendant, but that injunction was
`ligeolved upon a motion for that purpose, and liberty ww-
tiVen to the plaintiff to bring an action; the plaintiff, how-
,er, , instead of bringing his action, filed a supplemental
stilt asserting his title to the copyright. The de-
:dant put in a further answer to that bill, insisting that
Plaintiff to
involved was one of law, and challenging the
to bring an action to try his right. Upon the case
renting on before the Vice-Chancellor, he ordered the bill to
retained for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the
inaintiff to proceed and try the question by an action,
Ind ordering, unless he did so within the twelve-
reenth; the bill to be dismissed with costs. The action
• Ass brought in the Court of Exchequer, and a verdict
Irae given against the plaintiff, thereby deciding that
e had no title to the copyright. The cause was then set
d ?I'm before the Vice-Chancellor upon further directions, and
trHonour, upon that occasion, made an order dismissing
bill, simply without giving the defendant his costs.
roux that order the present appeal was brought.
ureir. Anderson appeared for the defendant; Mr. Purday and
• Rolt for the plaintiff.
Ilionarguments had not concluded when our afternoon
—`4114011 went to press.

CLERKENWELL.—( THISVA:Y.)
?enry Hartley was charged with committing various rob-
• Idea in houses at the west-end, under the following circum-
' Zi.nees :—lt appeared that on the 6th inst. the prisoner went
II the house of a lady named Webster, residing in Chapel-
:reef, Bedford-square, and, upon the servant opening the
100 r, said he was sent by Mr. Brooks, a bookseller, in Bond-
ltreet to make some inquiries with regard to a Fat of books
,Cch had been left there. The servant went up stairs to
deliver the message, and while there she heard the hall-door
and, upon hastening down, found that the prisoner had
I,nped, taking with him two valuable coats which had
been left there by two gentlemen who were on a visit at the
house.
hir• Roper, of No. 3, Queen.square, said the prisoner called
li.this house, and delivered a similar message to the servant.
(Mr. Roper) came down, and, suspecting something
offered to go with him to the bookseller's, to which the
L'4oner assented, but had only got a short distance outside
• "tdoor, when he ran away.
The prisoner, against whom there were a number of other
• ...arges of stealing hats, coats, and umbrellas, under similar
stances, was fully committed for trial.

~INQUEST ON SIR W. CURTIS.
