AND OTHERS.

• It will be recollected that the important questiorr
raised in this case was, whether the Trustees of the
British Museum were entitled to certain copies of
the " Flora Greca." In the Court below a verdict:
was found for the defendants. The case was .then,
brought before this Court by writ of error, and the
Lord Chief Baron delivered its judgment to-day.
It was decided that,.the plaintiffs had no right .to any
copies of the ninth number of the fifth volume of the
" Flora GrEeca," that being the particular number
for which the action had bees brought.
The JudgMent of the Court below was *rage
affirmed.

VICE-CHAIv CELLOR, S COURT.

His HONOUR, on coming into Court this morning,.
intimated that he had had a conference with several
Members of the Outer Bar since Saturday, and
that they were unanimous in wishing that this.
Court should sit out of Term at Lincoln's Hall,
on those days on which the Lord Chancellor should
be engaged in the appeals in the House of *Lords.
As his Lordship's wish, in making the original ar-
rangement, was merely to consult the convenience
of the Bar, he most readily assented to their general
desire, that his Honour should not come down to
Westminster out of Term. -

Mr. ROUPELL and several other gentlemen
_stated
that it would be exceedingly inconvenient to the
Bar to be obliged to come down to Westminster,
as' had been mentioned by his Honour on Saturday.

After some further discussion it was finally ar-
ranged that this Court should continue to sit at
Lincoln's-inn out of Term.

' - INJUNCTION.
TAYLOR, • &C. V. IVURREL, &C. •...1
Mr. PARKitit applied for a special injunction to re-
strain one of the defendants, Simpson, a tenant, from
paying any rent to the other two defendants, and also to,
restrain those latter defendants, Murrel and Arndt, as
we understood the names, from receiving the rent in
question. It was stated, that a testator by will.gave
his estate to Murrel and Arnot, intrust to pay certain
annuities to the plaintiffs. Arndt. had since become
a bankrupt,-and Murrel was a pauper in the work-
house. Arndt since his bankruptcy had got the
rents, which he had applied to his own use, and
Simpson, the tenant, had expre6sed his determina-
tion to damage thepremises

being influenced by corrupt motives, and it was
himself of the charge of
equally clear that the parties who. now. applied to
the Court had interfered improperly, for whether the
Magistrate was right or wrong in his construction of
the law,.it became those persons to submit patiently
and respectfully to-his decision, until it was reversed
by a higher tribunal. Mr. Arundel's conduct, how-
ever, was not free from censure. A Magistrate should
be very cautious how he trusted himself in a ease in
his- personal feelings were interested; and
Mr. Arundel appeared to have acted at least indis-
creetly in this particular, as well as in examining a
person touching a charge of assault against himself,
when the accused was not present. The Coml.
therefore, directed the rule for a criminal informa-
tion to be discharged, but that Mr. Arundel 6bauld
pay the costs.

HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Wednes-
day last an inquest was held before the Mayor as Coroner,
and a moat respectable Jury, on the body of an infant, seven
weeks old, son of RICHARD Hurrotr, shoemaker, Fell
Side, which had died on the preceding day is consequence
of seconds inflicted by a ferret ! The Coroner and Jury
proceeded from the Town Hall to the residence of the
father, where the depositions of the tvitnesses were taken.
The body of the infant presented a most horrid spectacle,
and many of the Jurymen turned away sickened with the
eight ;no trace of the child's features was left—its nose,
eves, and cheeks, as tar as the upper lip, were completely
eaten ofl;ba and
bone and a mass tit' coagulated blood,
d in their place nothing was to be seen
oul disgusting to the sight! It appeared from
t about seven years old,) that the child had been left in
bout nine o'clock with another child five years
old ; the mother

getting to the stair-bead she threw down. Mr. :Caauc,
surgeon, was sent for; but the poor innocent was
beyond medical aid, and after lingering in this dread-
ful state until Tuesday morning, died. The ferret, it ap-
peared, had been kept in a box in the house, and had that
morning been let out to kill a rat, and not having been put
back into its cage, had crept up stairs, and seized upon the
sleeping infant for its prey. The Jury
were unanimous in
their verdict that the child had been killed by the ferret,
and ordered the animal to be destroyed. The ferret was
avert' large one, nearly two feet iu length ; its frontleeth
measuring a quarter of an inch ! Westmoreland Adver-
