LITERARY INJUNCTI.,N.-PINNOCK AND MAUN-

DER 17 EVAN.; AND S(NS AND 11. IsIOZLEY.

WETHERELL'eIaimed the attention of his
Lordship to the case of Messrs Pinnock and
Nlauf;der, booksellers, of the Strand, the pro-
prietors of severai useful works for the instruction
at youth, and stated, that he had obtained an In-
junction, a few days since, in the Vice-Chaned-
lor's Court, against Philip Rose, of Bristol, to re-
strain him from printing anti publishing certain
hooks, which were plain piracies of books be-
longing to the plaintiff,. Th, object or the pre.
sent apolication was to restrain the defendaws,
Messrs. Evans and Sorts, of Long-lane. Smith-
field, and Mr. Muzlev, of Derby, hook•ellets,
from printing, publishing, or selling any of the
pirated editions of the works in question, the
genuine cot►ies of which contained very minute
instructions for tile juvenile part of society, af,d
also much useful knowledge. His Lordship
would please to notice they were entitled " Ca-
techisms "

The Learned Counsel read several passages
from the Catechisms af. the History ot England.
Grammar, Geography. Bihie and Gospel Ilivory
&c. to point ont the Tiro -4.3 which had been Pont-.
wit ted ; amid also showed that besides the colour-
able piracy that had been attempted in order to
deteat the intetvion or the Legislat,re, by the
transposition awl tnutil inn of certain porlioPt
of the books, in menu instances three or tour
pages had been taken together.
The LORD CHANCRLLOR made a comparison be-
tween the copies of the works. and, smiling, oh•
served to Wctherell—" It is what you and I
call stealing;" and on (writer examinin4 them
his Lordship appears to me that adults
might be greatly benefited from the instruction
these books contain, as well as the younger
branches of society." The Learned nunsel then
informers his Lordship that the worth of the In-
junction against Philip Rose were, " That the
defendant be restrained from printing, publishing,
selling, or exposing Co sale, the books produced
in Court, or any hook or work in which the mat-
ter of any of •tire plaintiffs' books or works, or
any parts thereof, is or are verhAly or substan-
tially introduced."• To which his Lordship re-
pl,rd--" Take the Injunction ia the terms of the
Vire-Chancellor's Injunction against Philip Rose,
adding to the Words verbally or substantially, the
further words, " or in. effect."

On Saturday, in the Jury Court, Edinburgh, an

hours, the Jury returned a verdict, giving Mr.
