Into the legal interpretation of the Alt, whether it ;
was meant to extend to any publications but thofe al-
luded to in the preamble, and pointed out by the
(pick of the Aft'? Lay ing entirely out of his twill-
, deration the title and preamble of the Aft, and giv-
' lag it only that liberal interpretation in favour of the
defendant, to which, from the nature of the inform-
ation now exhibited, the Aft itfelf would bear him
out in aftigning to it, he was fully of opinion that
the prefent information could not be fopported. A
term Might orcafi,inally be aptly applied, and he
thonght it had been fo by the witncfs for the infor-
mation, who had denominated the title-page in grief
don a Reprint, which did not come under any of the
terms in the A& of Parliament. The 27th cation
of•the Statute, on which the information was laid,
did not apply to Printing alone, but to printing any
paper or bock 4, meant or intended to be publifhed
or dithilatited." Now, it was proved from the evi-
dence adduced by. the Informer himfeif, that the
book in cpretlion was not meant for publication, but
metaly to furnith a ground for the prefent informa-
tion. Again the Act fpecified a paper or book as a
whole, not the title of any book which, as in the pre-
fent cafe, was not produced, to Thew if, at the end,
the name of the pi inter was specified. It was, how-
ever, the publithing and difperfing, not the printing
of the books, agaital which the aft wifhed to pro-
vide ; and, accordingly, it wa. enaeted, that for
every Copy of a paper or book fo publithed or dif.
poled, on which the name and place of ahnde of
the perfon prirding the fame should not be printed as
aforefaid, every perfin omitting ta point his name,
and every perfon publifiling or .lifperfing the fame,
timid forfeit and pay the fim of 201. He, there•
fore, had no hefitation in dilmiJing the preterit in-
formation.

On 'Netslay the ,4th inannt, die a at his it, Life itt
Great Titchfield•ftreet, in the 63d year of his age,
Mr. WILLIAM BYRNE, a diflinguithed landfcape en-
graver; he was educated under art uncle, who en-
graved heraldry on plate, But having fucceeded in a
landfcape after Witsos, fit as to obtain a premium
from the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, it
was regarded as the precurfor of talent of a fuperi r
order, and he was- fent to Palk at that time the
chief feminary in Europe, for is,
Rudy of engi
;nig. for improvement. In Paris he fludlei faced'-
, lively under Aciarter and WILLS; fuSm the former
of whom he imbibed the leading traits cf that ftyle
of engraving which he afterwards adopted as his own
—under the latter he engraved a large plate of a
form, after VERNET, but the,manual dexterity of
Whin was alien to his mind, and probably contri-
buted not much to his irnprovettient, though be al-
ways fpoke of Wit. t E'S inftru&ions *MI relptit.
When he returned to England, the foccefs of
WoottsTr as a landfcape engraver, had fet the
fafhion in that department of the art, bat BYRNE
difdaining to copy what he did not feel—perhaps
fcorning the influence of fa(hion in art, preferved the
independance of his Pyle, and continued to Rudy,
and to recommend to his pupils Nature, VIVARES, and
the hell examples of the French fchool.
His larger performances are after ZUCCARELLI
and BOTH ; but his principal works (containing pro,
bably kis belt engraving), are the Antiquities of
Great Britain, after HEARNE ;. a let of 'Views cf the
Lakes, after FARINGTON, and SMITH'S Scenery of
Italy. His chief excellence confilling in his aerial
peripeCtive, and the general effect of his hi i
he was more agreeably and more beneficially em-
ployed in finning than in etching, and Ittnee he•ge
neially tv,rked in conjunetion with his pupils, who
were latterly his own fon and daughters. His
manners were unafTuming ; his profteGotial %dotty
tent-mitting ; and his Moral chatakel etemplarY.—
He feldom went from home, but lived in the harem
of a numerous and wonty family, who are soy sic-
Poring their lofs.

Mr. MosER entirely concurred with his Brother
Magidratc. lie could not alb• forbear exprefling in
the lirongell terns, his fcrions reprob ititsn of all ac-,
tions of this k.nd, as being imnirnal and dangerous
in the extreme. Here a fet of innocent, unfulpeEting
mcn were drawn in by the iiiiioions applications of a
perfon employed by an Informcr to commit a breach
of an Aft of Parliament of which they were igno.
rant, and then they were called en to pay to this
guilty perfon the Moll exorbitant penalties.
Mr. Brit. agreed that the objeetion applied equal•
ly tut all hi. infottni.ri.ins, which mull of mirk tall
to the round. He alto ennead his perteO coinci-
dence in the opinititi which had been exprelfcd, as to
the inunoralitt of the application.
