The defendant's cash-book, ledger, and banker's
book were produced, showing the regular entry of the
rent due, the sums paid by the plaintiff or his wife,
and the balance in his banker's—the last to prove that
having a balance of 1,1001. in August, 1850, there was
no occasion for his son to apply for a payment in •
udvance.
The plaintiff likewise swore that he had not paid
the bill of costs in the action for false imprisonment
by instalments.
Mr. Davis, his attorney in that action, now swore
that the plaintiff bad given him a judge's order to pay
the costs by instalments of 51. per month.
Mr. Baron PLATT, in leaving the case to the jury,
told them that the questions they would have to de-
termine were these, were there at the time the distress
was put in " five" quarters of rent incurred, or was
there only " one ;" did they believe that the receipt
given by the defendant on the 4th of November, 1840,
to have been dated for rent due at Michaelmas

The jury consulted a few minutes, and then gave a
verdict for the defendant.
Mr, Baron PLATT ordered the plaintiff into custody,
and to be committed to the Queen's Prisonin default

sions at the Central Criminal Court. 4'
The defendant and his son were then bound over to
prosecute and give evidence.

between England and France, for the suppression of

" Art. 1. From the period at which, conformably
to the stipulations of Art. 14, hereinafter mentioned,
the present convention shall come into fohroe,om the
authors of works of literature or art,
to
laws of either country now insure, orshall t o
insure, the right of property or authorship, shall be authorised to exercise the said right on the territory
of the other country, during the same time and
within the same limits as would be allowed io the
latter country to the right attributed to authors of
works of the same nature if published there; so that
the reproduction or piracy by persons of one coun-
try, of any work of literature or art published in
the other, shall be treated as if it were the repro-
duction or piracy of works of the same nature, origi-
nally published in the former country. Moreover, the
authors of one of the two countries shall have the
same action before the tribunals of the other, and
enjoy the same guarantees against piracy or unautho-
rised reproduction, as are or may hereafter be granted
to authors in the latter country. It is understood
that the words works of literature and art,' used at
the beginning of this article, comprise the publication
of books, dramatic works, musical compositions,
drawings, paintings, sculptures, engravings, litho-
graphs, and any other productions whatever of litera-
ture or fine arts. The representatives of authors,
translators, composers, painters, sculptors, or en-
gravers, shall enjoy in every respect the same rights
as those which the present convention grants to the
authors, translators, composers, painters, sculptors, or
engravers, themselves.
" Art. 2. The protection granted to original works
is extended to translations. It is, nevertheless, well
understood that the object of the present article is
merely to protect the translator in so far as his own
translation is concerned, and not to confer an exclu-
sive right of translation upon the first translator of a
work whatever, except in the cases and within the
limits mentioned in the following article :
" Art. 3. The author of any work published in one
of the two countries who shall have declared his in-
tention of reserving his right of translation, shall,
from the day of the first publication of the translation
of his work, authorised by him, enjoy during five
years the privilege of protection against the publica-
tion of any translation of the same work unauthorised
by him, in the other country ; and this on the fol-
lowing conditions :-Ist. The original work shall be
registered and deposited in one of the two countries
within a period of three months from the day of the
first publication in the other country. `idly. The
author must have declared his intention of reserving
to himself the right of translation on the title-page of
his work. 3dly. At least a part of the said authorised
translation must have appeared within a year of the
date of registration and deposit of the original ; and
the whole of it must have appeared within a space of
three years from the date of the said deposit. 4thly.
The translation must have been published in one of
the two countries, and be registered and deposited as
directed in Art. S. As regards works published in
parts, it is sufficient that the declaration by which the
author reserves his right of translation be expressed in
the first part. Nevertheless, in so far as regards the
period of five years assigned by this article to the
author for the exercise of his privilege of translation,
every part shall be considered a new work; each shall
be registered and deposited in one of the two countries
within three monti-is from the day of its first publica-
tion in the other.

"Art. 4. The stipulations of the preceding articles
shall apply also to the representation of dramatic
works, and to the execution of musical compositions,
in so far as the laws of each of the two countries are
or may be applicable in this respect to dramatic or
musical works, publicly represented or executed for
the first time in the said countries. Nevertheless, in
order to have a right to legal protection, in so far as
regards the translation of a dramatic work, the author
must publish his translation within three months after

the registration and deposit of the original work. It
is understood that the protection stipulated by the
present article is not intended to prohibit bonkfide
imitation or the adaptation of dramatic works to the
respective theatres ot France or England respectively;
but only to prevent pirated translations. The ques-
tion of imitation or piracy shall in all cases be deter-
mined by the tribunals of the respective States, ac-
cording to the legislation in force in either country
respectively."
The other articles are of minor importance.
"By Art. 5, newspapers may be freely translated,
on condition of quoting the original paper, provided
the author of such an article has not publicly declared
his intention of preventing reproduction.
" Art. 6 prohibits the introduction and sale of pi-
rated works, whether printed in France or England,
or any other country.
"By Art. 7 such contraband works shall be seized
and destroyed, and the persons who have introduced
or sold them may be prosecuted.
" Art. 8 regulates the formalities of registration in
the two countries.

" Art 9 extends the same formalities to productions
of literature and art not specially mentioned.
"Art 10 regulates the duty of importation upon
works of literature and art in the two countries.

" Art 11 stipulates that the two powers shall mutu-
ally communicate to each other the new laws and
regulations that may hereafter be made in either
country with regard to literary property.
"Art 12 reserves to each Government the right of
prohibiting any production it may think necessary so
to prohibit.

"'Art 13, in execution of treaties with other powers
on the subject of literary property.
"Art 14 stipulatti that the Queen of England en-
gages to present a Bill to the British Parliament, for
the ratification of such clauses in the present enact-
ment as require a legislative sanction. A day is then
to be flan], on which the present convention is to
come into force, and such day shall be duly an•
rimmed by each Government. The convention is to
be applicable only to works, &c., published after that
date, and is to last ten years, and continue to be in
force until a twelvemonths' notice be given."
