a person, who, walking along the street, should happen
to whistle a tune, apply to the Court for an injunction
to restrain a person passing .at the time, and catch-
ing the tune, publish it. Another sttong argument
urged by the Learned Gentleman was, that the lectures
in question were, by the rules of the hospital, attended
by the pdpils.. it was not, however, confined to them
alone; every person who might think proper, from
motives of curiosity, •.raw ish to be instructed in the
art, star at libetty to attend them,
The Lout) CitANcELLon—Then I am to understand,
that any pet son paying for admission is at liberty to
attend. •

Wr. StrAnwELt—Most certainly, my Lord. The
Learned Gentleman concluded by stating, that as the
lectures sere given extempore, Mr. Abernethy had no
right to call on the Court to restrain their publication.
Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied, and contended
that where a lecturer read from a written paper his ob-
servations to his pupils, who paid for ;don ision, he had a
legal and equitable right in them with any persna
ho might write a work, and, without publishing it in
print, read it in detached parts, to his hearers, who paid
for their adnrission for the hearing of the whole course
Hof Lectures. In this case a positive prohibition had beers
given to the publication of the Lectures, and it was futile
to contend, that a Gentleman had not the same work of
labour to wade through in giving whit might be termed
extempote lectures, as a person who wrote them
dowA ; and for his part he aould not conceive how the
differeilc._ contended for by his Learned Friends, could
he mentioned. He denied that it was necessary to
reduce to writing literary or intellectual labours, and
on ttiese grounds he submitted, that the injunction
our? ht to issue.

The Louts CM NCRLTAM postponed judgment until Monday,Tor
the purpose of Mr. Abernethy producing an origbud copy of
his Lectures.

At the meeting of Mr. Poad's fox-hounds, in Cann Wood, on
Friday se'nnight, and just at the point of the fox breaking cover,
Mr. George Rundle, of Stoke, in attempting to gallop his horse
across the river Plym, was plunged under water, and carried some
distance by the rapidity of the stream, which was much swollen.
No other bad consequences, however, followed from this aczident
than a wet jacket and loss of hat and whip, as both horse and rider
are now quite well.

Tuesday, the Berkeley Stag Hounds met at Harlington, near
Cranford, attended by a numerous field of sportsmen, when a fine
deer was turned out, which went away in the direction of Hawley
Wall and Hayes, crossing the—Uibridge.road, near Hillingdon, to
Fekenham, Northolt, and Ruislip, and front thence to Watford, in
Hertfordshire, where he was safely taken, after one hour and 20
minutes severe running, in which time seventeen miles of country,
in a direct line, were crossed. From the severity of the chase, but
few were lucky enough to be in at the taking of the deer.
