VALPY'S ENGLISH LEXICON.

. JONES 2. vAtev.
Id this case an ex-parte injunction had been granted on the 3.1
inst. ,by the Lord Chancellor, to restrain the plaintiff from pub-
lishing or exposing to sale an English translation of Schrevelius's
Lexicon, on the grounds that it was printed from a similar work'

by the 14er. Dr. ,Tones.
The AnonNay-Gan/sat appeared to-day, to show cause
why! the injunction should be dissolved. The Learned Gentleman
relied principally on the length of time (1 I months), which wa4
alloWed to elapge between the publication of 'the alleged pira-
tical; work, and the application for • the injunction ; and stated
that, within a month after the publication of the work, Mr.
Velpy met Dr. Jones, who .said to him, see you have borrow-
ed very,• freely froM,me, linfl I think, tbai your publisher might
have sent me a copy of your work."
