A L ADT'S REASON FOR LINING TUE GREAT
EXHIBITION.—" My dear, it is so very agreeable. You
cannot tell how amusing it. is! It is much better far th,,n
going a shopping. The whole place is full of some of the
prettiest things in the world laces, silks, brocades—and
such lovely jewels—and the beauty is, you may look at
them ever so long, without being expected to buy a single
thing !" Punch.
REPRESENTATION or ARGYLESIMIE. Mr. D.
APNeill has published his farewell address to the electors of
Argyleshire, and Sir Archibald Islay, a Conservative, has
come forward as his successor.

A DESERTED VILLAGE.—MBiIy of the respectable
shopkeepers of Topsham, in Devonshire, have suddenly dis-
appeared to visit the Great Exhibition. They have, how-
ever, taken the precaution to inform their customers of the
same, by causing a notice to be stuck against their respec-
tire doors, f which the following is a copy :—" Gone to the
Royal Exhibition, to be re-opened when we come back."—
Devonshire Chronicle.

LONGEVITY.—On Saturday, the 10th inst., Mr.
Rawle, of Newquay, completed his 100th year, and in com-
memoration thereof, invi ed a few friends to spend the day
with him Amongst other things provided for dinner, he re-
galed them with some very fine new potatoes, planted by
his own hands in October last, cultivated by him duriag
their growth, and drawn by himself on the morning of the
anniversary. He is still an active man, seldom uses a walk-
ing stick, and is livelier than many men at fifty, or even
younger.—Cornwall Gazette.

We mentioned on the 28th of April that the Bank
of England had adopted a fixed price for the purchase of
American coined gold, the rate named being 31. I6s. 3d. per
ounce. An alteration, however, has since been made to
3/. 16s. 20. per ounce.— Times.

Char. street, New Road-end, has been disinterred by order of
Elizabeth Rawson, formerly living with her husband in
ley-street,
of the borough of Leeds. Rumours had been in
circulation that the woman, who died in July, 1850, had been
poisoned, and these rumours pointed to the deceased's hus-
band and a woman he has since married as the parties im-
plicated in the foul crime of murder. Since the disinterment
of the body, a Post-mortem examination has taken place, and
certain parts of it, with the contents of the stomach, have
been handed over to Mr. Wm. West, the chemist, for the
purpose of being tested as to whether they contain poison.

TILE SOMERSET EXAMPLE.

(From the Examiner.)
The committal of Captain Poulett Henry Somerset,
of the Colds ream Guards, to the House of Correction
tfohretenday's, for a brutal assault ca a police-officer in

But the mystery has been revealed. The eye of the
police, which falls upon all things, of course fell upon
James Gray and John Allen, who were apprehended in
the act of inscribing the enigmatical phrase upon Black-
friar's. bridge by the light of the moon.
In the presence of Mr. Alderman Wilson they ex-
plained that " a gent" had promised to pay them two-
pence a piece fur these inscriptions, that he had not
paid them yet, and that they painted at night because
the children smeared their work if they did it by day.
Such was their trespass. Their punishment was novel
and exemplary; they were ordered to clean the bridge,
or go to prison. Of course they cleaned the bridge.
We said the mystery was revealed, but not entirely,
for the '• gent" who promises to pay, but does not pay, is
still involved in congenial obscurity. Who can he be
—that man of enlarged, we may say, gigantc revolu-
tionary ideas? Gunpowder Plot was a small concep-
tion compared to this. Guy Fawkes proposed to move,
with a very forcible suasion, " that the House do rise;"
but to awake a people to a constitutional insurrection,
by persuading them that cheap bread and plenty of it
amount to starvation, that required the original genius of
a "gent." Again wo ask who is this mcdern Machia-
velli, in the shape, demeanour, and dress of a " gent?"
Is it Colonel Slbthorp, or Mr. G. F. Young? or has the
Association for the Protection of Native Industry con-
descended to Superintend in person these mighty evolu-
tions? Who can say? Let Sir George Grey and Mr.
Mayne look alive, for are there not " six Richmonds in
the field ?" The Leader.

and of Great Britain and Ireland, established perma-

EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—The man Desbois, who,
it may be remembered, murdered a police agent in the
streets of Beaucaire, and was in consequence condemned to
death by the Court of Assizes, was executed four days ago at
Beaucaire. When told by the officers of the gaol at Nimes,
in which he had been confined, that his last day had arrived,
he displayed great fortitude, and expressed a wish to receive
the consolations of religion. He made an excellent break-

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1851.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.
EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, May 20.
(Before Lord CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr.
Justice COLERIDGE, Mr. Justice MAULS, Mr. Jus-
tice CRESSWELL, and Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
BOOSEY V. JEFFRIES.
Lord CAMPBELL, in delivering the judgment of the
Court, said that in this case the action bad been
brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the
pirating and using a musical composition, being a
cavatina in the opera of La Sonnarnbula, which was
composed by Bellini. The declaration was in the
common form, alleging that the plaintiff was the pro-
prietor of the copyright of the opera, and that the
composition in question was first published in Great
Britain. To this declaration there were two pleas—
first, that the plaintiff was not the proprietor; and
secondly, that there was no copyright. At the trial,
- which took place before Mr. Baron Rolfe, now Lord
Cranworth, evidence was given that the opera was
composed at Milan in February, 1831, by Bellini,
- who was an alien, and who then resided in that city.
By the law of Milan, he was entitled to a copyright
of his work ; and accordingly, in May, 1831, he
assigned his copyright to Giulio Ricordi, an
14 alien, also residing at Milan, who, on the 9rh of
June following, assigned the copyright for Great
Britain and Ireland to the plaintiff, a native of Great
• Britain, and he published it in London on the 10th
of June, 1831, there having been no prior publication
of it in any other country. On the 12th of June, the
plaintiff entered his work at Stationers' Hall, and
deposited copies at the British Museum and other
places required by the Act of Parliament ; and on the
13th of May, 1844, he made entries at Stationers'
;% Hall, as required by the sth and 6th Victoria, c. 45,
• for the purpose of continuing his right. The Learned
Judge, in accordance with the decision of the Court
--of Exchequer, in the case of Boosey and Purday,
i„ directed the jury to find a verdict for the defendant,
on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to
establish a copyright. The jury, therefore, returned a
verdict for the defendant, upon which a bill of excep-
tions was tendered to the ruling of the Learned Judge,
74
% and so the present writ of error was brought. After
listening to a learned argument, and carefully oonsi-
, dering all the authorities, we are of opinion that the
evidence was sufficient to support both issues,
and that there ought to be a venire de novo. The
first question was, whether the author had a copy-
le right, but that is not essential in the present case. If
'4 it were, we should be of the same opinion as my Lord
Mansfield in the case of "Miller and Taylor," 4 Bur-
' roughs 2,330. We think that, under the statute of
,% the Bth, of Anne, o. 19, the plaintiff was entitled to
maintain the action. In Boosey and Purday, in
'u which the Court of Exchequer overruled the decision
';''` of the Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas,
' which are authorities directly in point, it was decided
ly that a foreign author residing abroad, who composes
a work abroad, and sends it to this country, where it
% is published under his authority, acquires no copy-
right therein, neither does a British subject, to whom
Od that work is assigned by the foreign author, gain any
such right. If these premises be sound, then a Bri-
tish subject who resides abroad cannot be in a better
position ; but with great deference to that decision,
which must have been strongly maintained, we
are of opinion that it was not the intention of
, the Legislature to debar a foreigner from the
power of holding a copyright in this country.
The Parliament has no power to legislate concerning
Price. foreigners residing in foreign countries, but it has
power to grant the monopoly which the statute of
Anne confers, to be enjoyed here, on the conditions
;14 to be performed here. The statute of the Bth of
Anne, c. 19, is an Act for the encouragement of learn-
ing, by vesting the copies of printed books in the
% authors or purchasers of such copies during the times
therein mentioned. Assuming that the Legislature
looked only to the benefit of Great Britain, without
___ regard to general literature, it is not for the literature
of Great Britain that it should have the benefit of
ice. foreign authorship? If Rapin and De Lolme had
written their valuable works without visiting our
shores, could it be said that they would have bean
deprived of the privilege of disposing of their works
• to a publisher ? It has always been the policy of
'3i Parliament to introduce foreign literature into the
country; thus by the Ist Richard 111., c. 9, which
was an Act passed for regulating the mode in which
Italian merchants might sell merchandise and
other restraints on aliens, it is enacted by sec.
12, that aliens may bring any books written or
printed into this country, for selling by retail or
otherwise. The question truly is, whether a foreigner
' composing literature abroad, by sending it and first
publishing it in Great Britain, is deprived of his
copyright, whereas, if he resides and composes it
here, it is admitted that he would be possessed of it.
If he had composed it abroad and brought it over in
his memory, or even brought over the manuscript,
would it have made any difference in his right as
an author ? Can his presence here alter his right
as an author ? If he can bring it over and enter it at
• Stationers'-hall himself, which is admitted, why
should he not able to do so by an agent? Where is the
necessity of his crossing from Calais to Dover? The
law will give him redress, though he never set foot in
England ; for, by the 6th of Henry VIII., the Court
of Common Pleas held that an alien residing in
France could maintain an action of debt in this
country, though he could not do so with regard to
real property; and that great judge, Chief Justice
Tindal, held that an alien, though he has never been
in this country, may maintain an action for a libel
published in this country ; and, on delivering
judgment said that it would create in the minds
of foreigners a very unfavourable impression of the
a
justice of our laws if we were to hold that an
lien's friends could not maintain an action of that
description in our courts, unless by some interval of
residence here he has incurred the onus of what Lord
Coke calls igeantia localis • and Mr. Justice Msule,
- in the same case, said that' every day's experience
ce. showed us that actions are maintained here by fo •
reigners—for example, those for running down vessels
on the high Sew—without objection. Gibbons wrote
his celebrated work of the " Decline and Fall" in a
:34 foreign country; can it be doubted that he might
have published and sold his work here had he con-
tinued to reside abroad? What difference can there
be then between a foreigner or a subject domiciled
• abroad ? For these reasons we think that if an alien
author, residing in his own country, should cause
his work to be published here, he would be an
3:2 author within the Acts, and could maintain an
action for piracy ; but we wish it to be understood
s that it must be first published in this country, for
if it bad been published previously in any other
eountry he could not gain a copyright here.
The origin of the doctrine set up by the de-
lea. fondant seems to have arisen from a dictum of the
late Vice-Chancellor Shadwell, against the right of a
foreigner, expressed in the cases of Guichard a. Mori,
and in Page and Townsend, which turned on the
• construction of several Acts protecting engravings,
one only of which was expressly confined to plates
engraved in Great Britain; but these opinions were
re. merely obiter dicta, and the cases had no connexion
' with copyrights. Looking at the context, there is
reason to believe that the Vice-Chancellor only meant
to say that the Court would not protect a foreigner
who publishes abroad. As to the other points, viz.,
that the assignment by Bellini to Ricordi was not ac-
cording to the Act of Parliament, viz., in the presence
of two witnesses, we think that there is sufficient to
show a good title in Ricordi, which he assigned to the
plaintiff in England in the presence of two witnesses.
Upon the whole, therefore, we are of opinion that the
direction of the Learned Judge was wrong, and that
he ought to have directed the jury to find a verdict
for the plaintiff on both issues. They must, there-
fore, be a venire de novo.

ADMIRALTY COURT, May 21.
(Before Dr. LIISHINGTON.)
THIS DIIRE—S4IALTAGE.
In this case the crews of two fishing-smacks of
Harwich proceeded against the Bure for services ren-
dered her on the 9th of November last, off Harwich,
she having run aground on the Pye sand. The sal-
vors asserted she was in a dangerous position, and
were employed in heaving the vessel clear off the sand.
On behalf of the Bure it was asserted she merely
dropped alongside of the sand ; the assistance of the
boatmen was not solicited or required, but that they
forced their services upon the vessel, and that some
coals had been given for the services they had ren-
dered.

Dr. Harding appeared for the boatmen, and Drs.
Addams and Twiss on behalf of the Bure.
The COURT considered a trifling service bad been
rendered, and awarded the salvors 51. and coats.

sion, he being the holder of the warrants ; hence the
present issue. It appeared that the ten casks of nut-
megs were lying at Brewer's Quay-wharf, and that if
delivered for home consumption about 2091. would
have to be paid as duty, but if they were exported of
course no duty would be payable.
Mr. LOCKE submitted that the plaintiff's case could
not be sustained, as the attachment was against ten
casks of nutmegs which had never been in his posses-
sion, he being merely the holder of the warrants. The
latter, and not the goods, should have been attached.
The RECORDER held that the nutmegs were in
Mr. Scott's possession really, though not actually, in
the same manner that a person who had money at a
banker's was in possession of that money.
Mr. LOCKE then addressed the jury, and urged that
unless they were thoroughly satisfied, from the evi-
dence that the nutmegs were actually in Mr. Scott's
possession, they could not find for the plaintiff.
The Learned Counsel then put in as evidence a
deed of assignment, executed by Cleland and Day, at
Boston, on the failure in December, to show that when
the attachment was issued in February, the nutmegs
had been formally assigned to Mr. Scott and other
creditors, for the benefit of the creditors generally.
The names of Mr. Posuo, Turkish Consul at Ant-
werp, and Mr. Da Pests, Turkish Consul General at
Brussels, appeared as parties to the deed. It ap-
peared, however, that the deed had not been executed
until after the issue of the attachment.
The jury, without hesitation, found that the gar-
nishee had in his possession ten casks of nutmegs be-
longing to the defendants—which was a verdict for
the plaintiff. 1

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 21.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE RICHARD JOHN MOSCROP.
This insolvent, who was a corn-dealer at Holloway,
was opposed by Mr. Sargood for Messrs. Charring-
ton. He had no counsel.
An objection was taken to the petition in this case,
which was filed under the Protection Act, on the
ground that the debts exceeded 300/.
It appeared that the insolvent had given a Mr.
Bilton a bill of sale for 1101., which, with his present
debts, would make them exceed 3001. It was, how-
ever, alleged that Mr. Bilton had taken possession of
the property secured by the deed, and had realised
the same, which was in effect an extinguishment of
the claim. The deed was exhibited in court, and ap-
peared to be a mortgage.
Mr. SARGOOD submitted that the deed to Mr. Bil-
ton had not been extinguished, and that it must be
calculated in the amount. Therefore the debts ex-
ceeded 3001. and the petition must be dismissed.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER concurred in the view
taken by the Learned Counsel, and dismissed the
petition.

The petition was accordingly dismissed.
His Horious granted several final orders, and
heard other applications, neither of which presented
any feature of public importance.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, May 21.
(Before the RECORDER.)
1 HULSCHOFF V. CLELAND AND. DAY DEFENDANTS,
SCOTT GARNISHEE.
This was a customary attachment in an action for
debt for 7001. The garnishee pleaded that be had
neither moneys nor goods of the defendants in his
possession.
Mr. Ryland and Mr. Randall appeared for the
plaintiff; Mr. Locke appeared for the garnishee.
The plaintiff was a merchant at Amsterdam, the
defendants were merchants at Boston, United States,
and the garnishee was Mr. James Scott, merchant. of
Nicholas-lane. In April or May last year, Mr. F.
, Saville Lee, who was the authorised London agent
of the firm of Cleland and Co., of Boston, purchased
on their behalf eleven casks of nutmegs, of the value
of 7001., of Mr. Adrian Meyer, the representative in
London of the plaintiff's house, but one of the war-
rants was returned to Mr. Meyer, be having sold one
of the casks, and the ten others were given by Mr.
Lee to Mr. Scott, the present garnishee, who it ap-
peared was a creditor of Cleland and Day's to some
amount. In December the house of Cleland and Day
failed, whereupon the plaintiff availed himself of the
process of the Lord Mayor's Court to recover fro
Mr. Scott the nutmegs which were still in his possess-

had hem left in his care; after 'he had been taken into
the cell, and while sitting with him, le asked him if
he had been at the raffle at the Mite Lion public-
houte, on the night before, end he replied that he
had. He next inquired if he had left the White Lion
with the other prisoners, who were there, and he said
fe did, hut added, that he had gone before them with
a young woman, down Vauxhall-walk, and parted
with her in Lambeth-walk, and that on his return be
saw the policeman lying dead.
Mr. Neill here complained of the conduct of the
sergeant in putting these questions to the prisoner,
without giving him the slightest caution, or any inti-
mation that the answers he should give would be
used against him elsewhere.
Thomas Jones, a shoemaker, was here sworn, and
stated that on Monday morning, the sth instant, he
was locked up in one of the cells connected with the
court, on a charge of making away with a pair of
boot-uppers belonging to his employer, when the pri-
soner Harrington was brought in and locked up with
him. Soon after he heard him say that if he had tl.e
clinker in his hand he would split the police_ man's
head into pieces.
In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, the
witness said, that it was about nine o'clock in the
morning that those assertions were made by the pri-
soner, who was lying on one of the seats at the timer
but not asleep.
In reply to a question as to how often he bad been
in prison, he declared that he bad never been locked
up before the morning in question.
Mr. Games applied f,r the discharge of Febef:
William Burke, Shanahan, and Slattery, again"
whom, he contended, there was not a tittle of el..
dence.

Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you really believe there
were as many passengers as you have stated ? Wit-
ness—l do, Sir; but of course I had no opportunity
of counting them at the time.
Defendant, when asked by the magistrate what he
had to say, replied that the passengers numbered no
more than twenty-two, which was just one more than
the vehicle was licensed to carry ; the near horse was
a " jib," and he did not whip him more than two or
three times ; he had no witnesses to call.
Mr. BROUGHTON remarked, that the case had been
very properly taken up by a useful society, and fined
the defendant 203. and costs, or in default of payment
14 days' imprisonment. If it had been shown that he
had been brought up upon any former occasion fur
conduct of a similar nature, be would now have been
more severely dealt with.
WORSHIP-STREF:T.
Yesterday James Hurley and George Cator were
placed at the bar for re-examination before Mr.
Seeker, charged with a daring assault and robbery
upon the person of Mr. Benjimin Collins, a blind
man, carrying on business as an ironmonger in High-
street, Shoreditch.
The circumstances which led to the detection and
apprehension of the prisoners were of a somewhat
singular character. It appeared that on the afternoon
of Monday, the 9th instant, as the prosecutor was
passing through New lon-yard, Shoreditch, under
the guidance of his daughter, a child eight years old,
he suddenly received a severe kick on the back of the
leg, which flung him forward upon his face, but he
eves immediately raised up by two men, one of whom,
while affecting to commiserate his misfortunes, sud-
denly thrust his hand into his waistcoat pocket, from
which he abstracted his watch with a violent jerk that
detached it from the guard, and both of them in-
stantly made off with their booty. He gave imme-
diate information to the police, and having been sub-
sequently apprised that a man was in custody charged
with a murderous assault upon a married woman,
who bad denounced him as one of the gang who had
robbed him of his watch, he proceeded to the station-
house, where he was confronted with the prisoner
Hurley, and at once recognised him, by the pecu-
liarity of his voice, as one of his assailants.
Ellen Wateman, the wife of a bedstead-maker, in
Christopher-square, Shoreditch, in whose house Hur-
ley had foemerly lodged, was then examined, and de-
posed that she accidentally witnessed the robbery
while proceeding through New Inn-yard, on the
afternoon in question, and having described the par-
ticulars in the same terms as they had been detailed
by the prosecutor, and thoroughly identified the pri-
soners as the perpetrators, proceeded to state that she
met Hurley again, near her own residence, on the
same evening, and after an exulting observation upon
the daring character of the transaction, he informed
her that he had since sold the watch for 16s. to a Jew
receiver. Witness remarked that it was a cruel act
to commit such a robbery upon a poor blind man, and
told him that she had a good mind to communicate

THAMES.
Yesterday, William Edwards, a labourer, was
brought up on remand, before Mr. Ingham, chilli
on a Custom-house information with carrying s°
conveying 10 pints and a quarter of rum, the duty 01
the same not having been first paid and secured, kr
which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. lie elsr;
nestly pleaded not guilty to the information, and Said
he was an innocent man.

It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon the prisoner
was met by a police-constable named Barnes, No. 88;
H, in Church-lane, Whitechapel, and suspecting that
he had contraband property in his possession h°
stopped him, and asked him what he had under hie
coat, to which he replied nothing. Barnes took from
him a bundle, consisting of a handkerchief, in which
were two bladders containing rum. Before Chef
were opened the prisoner said he did not know what
they contained. The skins were delivered to Virai"
a custom-house officer, who seized them in due fora;
on the part of the Crown. They contained 1 gallon
and 5 -16ths of a gallon of rum, 23 under proof.
The prisoner, in defence, said a gentleman with!!
carpet bag in his hand, met him in Whitechapel, and
asked him if he was out of employment, and on ft
replying in the affirmative, gave him the handerchiel
containing the skins, and said he was to carry the
bundle to Spitalfields, where he promised to meet him
and give him a shilling for the job.
Mr. INGHAM—Who is this gentleman ? Prisoner
—I don't know. I never saw him before.
Mr. INGHAM thought the case might have been
made the subject of a summary proceeding, without
an information.

Mr. Cornell said the quantity of rum cr real spirit
had been considerably reduced by its being so much
under proof. It was valued, with the duty, at 15f.
per gallon.

- Mr. INGRAM fined the prisoner :1001., and, in de-
fault of payment, committed him to prison for
six months. He recommended him to memorialise,
the Board of Customs for a mitigation of punish-
ment.
