considered to be present every whert;. He desired to' have the
bill and affidavit, and promised to state his opinion onPaturday.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—(Tuzs DAY.)
INJUNCTION.
M'COY AND SIDNEY V. ROBERTSON AND 2.OIIICLERAM.

Mr. iILALD applied yesterday to the Court on behalf of the
plaintiffs' assignees to the bankruptcy of Knight and Lacey, for an
injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing a weekly 'pub-
lication called the Pulpit. It appeared that Mr. Robertson
had projeeted;the4ork in question, in July, 1828, which Ml-
sisted of extracts from sermons and other pious productions ; he
eutered into an agreement with. Knight and Lacey to prifit and
publish, and undertake all the expellees attending this work, for
which they were to receive one-third; and he the two-thirds, of
the profits. In 1824 Wes. Knight and Lacey offered to him 50/.
for his share of the publication. This he declined, but he wrote
a letter stating that he would accept 1501.: to which they sent no
written answer, but they continued to publish the work
as usual, down to the time of their bankruptcy ; and since
,that time, it has been conducted by their assignees. A short
•time after, the bankruptcy, another publication under a simi-
lar title appeared, and continued to be published con-
stantly by the defendants, to restrain which the present appli-
etdion was made to the Court, grounded on the affidavit of Knight
and Lacey, which averred that they had made a parole agreement
with Robertson, whereby it was conditioned that they should pay
bins 120/., and Mr. Beasley 80/. on his account, making in all
lbOl. According to his written proposal that they had paid Mr.
Beasley the sum mentioned, and had given him credit fin. the 1201.
On behalf of the defendants, Mr.. HORN!: contended, that as
there had been no written acceptance of the defendant's-proposal,
there was no evidence of an agreement. The affidavit of Knight
and Lacey was Contradicted by that of. Robertson, who denied a pa-
role agreement, or that he owed Betuley any such sum of
money was alleged' at the time of the treaty ; and that
as
as to their continuing the publication, it was only on the
original terms, that of accounting to him for two-thirds of the
profits, which he could never get out of their hands. As their
first agreement had been in writing, though much inferior in im-
portance to the second, it was not likely that if the latter had been
considered as concluded, it should not be also reduced to writing,
lksthe affidavits were conflicting, he thought that of Mr. Robert-
son the more probable at all events it was:it` fit subject for a

Jury.
The VICE-CHANCICLLOR enquired if Mr. dßobertson
was a
short-hand writer, or if be composed himself the subjects of the
publication.
Mr. Holum—There is nothing original in the work, it con-
sists of extmets from sermons.
The -Vlcit-CtrAucit.tott—ls there an affidavit, stating what
part the defendant had taken in the publication after he had made
the proposal ; being answered in the negative, hie Honor said he
was 10 Judge between two conflicting affidavits, and he did not
erY
know now to trust to the fleeting memory of Mr. Robertson, who
could not recollect 'what a letter, written by him in 1824, alluded
?, though it treated of a v distinct
subject. Under all the
ctreums
tances, he would grant the injtutction.
