THE EMPE.ROR 01 AUSTRIA IN 7IIE
COURT OF CHANCERY.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA v. MESSRS. DAY
AND LOUIS KOSSUTH.-SPURIOUS HUN-
GARIAN NOTES.

Sir Hugh Cairns and Mr. Cotton moved, before
Vice Chancellor Sir J. Stuart, for an injunction to
restrain the defendants, Messrs. Day and Son,
lithographers, from printing or lithographing any
document purporting to be the notes of the Hun-
garian state or nation, or impressed with the Royal
arms of Hungary, and from delivering up or parting
with any plates for printing such documents. The
learned counsel stated that the Austrian ambassa-
dor, having applied to the British Government to
stop the act complained of, was informed it was a
civil matter, and only recently obtained authority.
from Vienna. The learned counsel read the follow-
ing affidavit, which was nearly an echo of the bill :
" I am the Ambassador to this country of his
Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria, who is
the plaintiff in this cause. His Imperial Majesty
is also King of Hungary, and as such he has, in
right of his crown, the sole and exclusive privilege
of issuing, and of authorising the issue, in Hungary
of notes for payment of money intended to be cir-
culated in that country as money ; and also the sole
and exclusive privilege of authorising to be affixed
to any document intended to be published or circu-
lated in Hungary the Royal arms of that country.
" A very large portion, and, to the best of my
belief, nearly the whole f the present circulation
in Hungary consists of notes of the National Bank
of Austria, which are issued under the authority
of his Imperial Majesty as Emperor of Austria and
King of Hungary; and these notes, under the
authority of his Imperial Majesty, circulate in
Hungary as money, and are sums of one florin and
upwards each.
"I have been informed, and believe, that the
defendants, William Day, John Day, and Joseph
Day, carry on business in London as lithographers,
in partnership, under the firm of Messrs. Day and
Sons.

" I have been informed, and believe, that the
said Messrs. Day and Sons have prepared plates
for printing or lithographing documents which pur-
port to be notes of the Hungarian nation or State,
and are designed to be circulated as money in that
country ; and I have been informed, and believe,
that they have done this under the direction of
Louis Kossuth, who is one of the above-mentioned
defendants, and that they, by his direction, are now
engaged in printing or lithographing, from the
plates so prepared by them, documents which pur-
port to be such notes as aforesaid; and which, for
the sake of distinction, I hereafter refer to as spu-
rious notes.

" On the 26th of the present month of February
I obtained one of the said spurious notes which had
been printed by the said Messrs. Day and Sons.
The exhibit marked A, produced and shown to me
at the time of my swearing this affidavit, is the
spurious note so obtained by me. The body of this
document is in the Hungarian language, with
which I am well acquainted; and the arms, of
which there is a print at the bottom, are the royal
arms of that country. The body of the said note,
when translated into English, is as follows :—' One
florin. This monetary note will be received in
every Hungarian State and public pay-office as one
florin in silver—three zwanzigers being one florin ;
and its whole nominal value is guaranteed by the
State, in the name of thenation.—Louis KOSSUTH.'
" I believe that a great number of the spurious
notes which the said Messrs. Day and Son are
manufacturing are for one florin each, and that the
remainder are for other sums, some larger and
some smaller than one florin, and that all these
spurious notes are numbered, and that with the
necessary variation of the number and the amount
which they purport to represent, the same as the
said exhibit A; and I have been informed, and
believe, that the total nominal amount of the spuri-
ous notes which the said Messrs. Day and Sons are
manufacturing will be very large, and will exceed
100,000,000 florins.

" I have been informed, and believe, that the said
Messrs. Day and Son have nearly completed the
manufacture of the said spurious notes, and that
they now have in their hands a very large number
thereof, entirely or nearly completed ; and that
they intend very shortly, and (as far as I can ascer-
tain) in the course of the present week, to deliver
the same to the said Louis Kossuth ; and I believe,
and, from the information which I, as such ambas-
sador as aforesaid, have obtained, I have no doubt
that the said Louis Kossuth intends, as soon as he
has received the said spurious notes, without any
authority from his Imperial Majesty, to send the
same to agents employed by him in Hungary ;
and that he intends, by means of his said agents,
to sell some of these spurious notes in Hungary to
persons resident there for whatever sums he can get
for the same, and by this and other means to intro•
duce the same into circulation in Hungary ; and
that he intends to use the remainder of the said
spurious notes in Hungary, among other purposes,
in violation of the rights and prerogatives of the
plaintiff as King of that country; and I believe,
and from the information which I have received as
such ambassador as aforesaid, I have no doubt the
said Louis Kossuth intends to use the same amongst
other purposes to promote revolution and discord
in Hungary. I, as ambassador of his Imperial Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Austria, know that he has
never authorised the manufacture of the said notes
which the said Messrs. Day and Sons are manufac-
turing or the use thereon of the Royal arms of
Hungary, and I believe that the introduction of the
said notes into Hungary will create a spurious
circulation there, and by that and other means
cause great detriment to the state and to the sub-
jects of his Imperial Majesty. I believe that the
members of the firm of Messrs. Day and Sons, be-
fore they prepared the plates for the said spurious
notes, were aware of the purpose for which the said
Louis Kossuth intended to use the same, and that
he was not authorised by his Imperial Majesty to
prepare and issue the same, and that the said spu-
rious notes were a violation of the rights of the
plaintiff as King of Hungary ; but I believe that
they intend to deliver the said spurious notes, when
completed, to the said Louis Kossuth. I first re-
ceived information that Messrs. Day and Sons were
engaged in manufacturing the said spurious notes
on the 3d of the present month of February. On
receiving the information I at once applied to her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, and requested that her Majesty's Govern-
ment would interfere and prevent the manufacture
of the said spurious notes, and on the 23d of the
present month, and not before, I received a reply
from the said Secretary of State, to the effect that
her Majesty's Government were unable to interfere,
aid I thereupon at once communicated with the
government at Vienna of hie Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Austria; and on the 26th of the pre-
sent month of February, and not before, received
instructions to use the name of his Imperial Majesty
in such proceedings as I might think necessary to
institute with reference to the said spurious notes."
His Honour said he thought the plaintiff was
entitled to an injunction, the order for which ought
to be served with a copy of the bill. It was not a
case to require any undertaking.

The King of the Belgians having paid, in July
last, a visit to Ghent, was received with remarkable enthu-
siasm by the students of the university of that city ; and his
Majesty, as a mark of satisfaction, presented to the univer-
sity a gold medal, to be preserved in the library. The Bel•
gian journals now announce that the King has just sent a
bronze copy of that medal to each of the students, who took
part in the demonstration; and in so doing his Majesty calls
the young men " his dear children." _
