Coro!. It was alledfted that the fame had been de-
manded of him by the Secretary, which he refilled to
pay, whereby, according to tl.e Ael 43 Geo. 111. he
became arnciv.l.le to the penalty of a further fum of
31. Ss. being double the amount of the penalties
attirefaid. To this information Mr. Dowley pleaded
Not Guilty. a
Mr. NVelchman, Cornet of the Surrey Volunteer
Cavalry, attended in tampon of this information,
which had been laid, by order of Captain Collingdon,
Cie Commanding Officer ; he obferved, that it would
be wholly unuccelrai ) for him to point out to the
lknch the great advantages the Country was likely
to elerive from the Volunteer fyflern, neither would
lie ',,ke up much of their time in adverting to the
nt ci City of regular attendance in the Members of
the Corps, in older in make them good foldiers, and
to render the fy Rem elie.Eitiai. It was necelEiry that
regular attendance Mould be given, and Ilritt dif-
cipline obfcrved, without which no dut i could be
performed ; and fhould the moment of anal 1..!r vice
arrive, the want of difcipline in one indiviiivai of a
carps, would not only expofc him to much Fictional
danger, but might aim throw the whole fcradron to
which he belonged into diforder, thus involving him
fell in difgrace, and perhaps being the caufe of many
valuable lives being facrifieed. Mr. Welchman then
Rated, that the Southwark Cavalry was railed in Ge-
tober, 170, tinder the A& of 34Ge0.111. and continu-
ed under the Aels of 42 Geo. 111. thep and hill un-
der the command of Captain Collingdon ; and that,
on the 4th of Antra Lilt, Mr. Dowley was enrolled
a Member, and figned the Muller Roll. Mr. W. ob.
ferved, it was impoeUble for him to affign the r-ea-
fon which induced Isif. Dowley to offer his Cervices ;
whether it might be the principle of loyalty and at•
tachment to his King and Country, which certainly
teemed to pervade all ranks of people at the time ;
or whether it might be for the benefit of certain ex-
empOons in the aileffed taxes, or to avoid the ha.
bility of lerving in the Militia, Army of keferve, or
Levy en milk ; he could only fay, that Mr. Dowley
had endeavoured. perhaps without fuccefs, to avail
hitnfelf of Tome of their privileges, as would appear
by the following return, which he made under the
Defence ASO, for himtelf and a Groom :
. Damn Dockuray, Groom, 2 t ,firg,e. ,eing in the V. C. hav-
ing grew re-d of the aboweGroom,in .00king after my horfea, and
keeping cm; ap:•ointenents ready. (Signed)
" TeOlirAs Iow:AY."
Mr. Wit ec H 7,, N proceeded to (late, that the re-
turn was fornewh-et ctt, t• us. Had Mr. Dowley joined
the Coups when they wctit into quarters at Sutton, in
Onober UR, he won have found n . occalion for a
groom, as he would have had to do that which eve, y
private did, namely, to clean his own horse and ac-
coutrements himfelf. Being a member of this cos pa,
be had a conflant opportunity of obferring the con•
duel of Captain Collingdon ; who, though at all
umes anxious for itt improvement, never winged to
harafs the members, or to require more duty than
was continent with the good of the fervice. Out of
forty different marches, he was proud to fay, the
Captain had not once failed to attend and do his
duty ; an example, which was by no means followed ,
by Mr. Dowley, who had only been prefent twice
fence his enrolmar. Atter a few more obfervations,
Mr. WI LCHt•titri read the following correfpondence,
Which had taken place between Captain Collingdon
and Mr. Dowley, on the fubjeft of refignation :

With refpestt to the promife made by Mr. Dowley
in his la ft letter, he faithfully fulfilled ir. All the
letters fent to him on bufinefs of the Corps, he return-
ed to Captain Collingdon, unopened.
Mr. NVELCHMAN noticed, that los. 6d. making a
part of the fum of tl. 145. claimed, was for not at-
tendiug the Review in Hyde Park. That fum might
be roididered heavy, but when it was adopted it could
only be contiskrei nominal. It could hardly be
doubted, but that every individual of the Corps would
have rejoiced at the opportunity then offered to pre-
fent himfclf before his Sovereign, fully armed and
accoutred, and to prove he was not btiiind.hmid in
affiCtion and loyalty. Mr. Welshman concluded by
enumerating the times of absence, from which the
tines arose, and called upon the Magi iirates to make
an example of Mr. Dowley, by convieting him in the
penalties.
Mr. MEYMOTT, Captain of the Chi ift Church Vo-
lunteers, was hoard on the part of Mr. Dowley. He
faid it might appear extraordinary in times like the
prefent, that any perfon flinuld appear deficient in
military ardour. It was certainly not the cafe with
Mr. Dowley. It would appear clearly to the Bench,
that Mr. Dowley did not oppofe the payment of the
flocs, from any pecuniary consideration, but in order
to fettle a grand epreilion, which was truly interefling
to the Volunteer Syitcm. Mr. Meymott contended,
that Mr. Dowley was not amenable to the fines de-
manded of him, becante he was not a member of the
Southwark Volunteer Cavalry, at the time they
were levied, nor was he at the prefent time. The
queflion here was, whether a perfon has a right to
fend in his refignation when he finds his attendance
incompatible with his other avocations ? Mr. Mey-
mott contended that he had. He laid he had looked
into and considered the Wings maturely, and from
all he had learned, lae was convinced a Volunteer was
at liberty to do fo.—lt was no longer a Volunteer
Syftem, if a perfoa could not reign without the per.
million of his Commanding Officer. In fupport of
his opinion, Mr. Meymott referred to a note in the
margin of the 4th fctlion of the 42d Gen. 111. which
fay_, perfons rrfigning or d/charged rom fuch Corps,
than lofe the benefit of exemption from ferving in the
Militia." Now, obferved Mr. Meymott, if Govern-
ment did not originally intend time perfons thould be
at liberty to refign, why introduce thefe obfervations
in the AEI In another place, it lays, w a perfon in-
teneling torefign, lo many days notice." This
alto !hewed the pris...pic which was meant to be aged
upon however I-. fince have been varied. But
if, after a7l, a r2Ycliarge could not be obtained with-
out the con!emit rf a Commanding Officer, Mr. Dow-
lev's defence be put upon that footing. The
Circular Letter irons Captain Collingdon, was very
puttied on that fubj!:e, and amounted to a complete
dahlia-al with relped to Mr. Dowley. It faid, st it
you do not attend on certain days, you than he dif-
miffed." This was taking him on his own terms.—
Mr. Meymott, in further fupport of his argil-nem,
wifhed the Magißrates to refer to a Newfpaper which
he had in his pocket, containing an altercation of the
Secretary at War, which he infifted was conelufive on
the point in quetlion. This paper made the Hon.
Secretary to fay, that, " thole Gentlemen, who felt
the Volunteer filtern prefs too heavy upon their time,
could reign." Mr. Meymott conceived, he had fuf-
ficiently !hewn, that Mr. Dowley was no longer a
member of the Corps, after tending in his refignation,
and that confequently he could not be liable to the
fines which were endeavoured tobeexaCted againft him.
The Court was cleared, and the Magillrates took
a few minutes to confider of their decifion. Prior to
their verdiet beiag given, Mr. SMITH addreffed a few
words to the patties concerned: he faid, " with re-
gard to the qiiellion before him, he had very little
doubt ; he was happy to find he had been tirength.
coed :;is opinion by ten of his !Neither Magittrates,
and they had imanimoufly agreed to give the plain-
tiff a verdi:t 14 fines Ind penalties of sl. 25. viz.
11. las. for the original fines, and double that rum
to be added, for having refuted payment, when called
upon." Here rne of the Gentlemen took occafion to
olm.rve, that in addition to the opinions that had
been taken that day, he had unqueilionable autho-
rity tir flying, that the Attorney and Solicitor
GencrAlt agreed with them as to the point in quef-
tion ; .1.,1 it feemed but real. noble that the country
flimiid wit he trifled with. When a Volunteer had
enrolled liimfilf to defend the country, his fervices
were fir far depended upon, and it was fit that his
contraa humid be fulfilled ; at the fame time, it
ought to be underflood, that each Volunteer has
in Some nu aim c value received for his fcrvices. He
is lice from n:any duties, %chic!. others are liable to.
It was Pim: conlisleration, that lie was not halite to
he callcd out among the different claftes. Whilst
fpcaking on this fubjeCt, it, perhaps, would not he
improper to remark, that a 'scrims having enrolled
hirnielf as a Volurteer. may at msy time procure his
rtfignation front his Com.nanciing Officer, provided
he adduces fufficient usafons for to doing ; but there
he an end of the Volunteer fyltcm, if every
prifon, from whim or caprice, might be permitted to
ditinili fimfef.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, DEC. i 6.
HIRKE V. DALE.

Mr. SCARLF T opened the pleadings.—The decla-
ration Rated, that the Plaintiff was the Proprietor,
and had the copy-right of a fong called t, Abraham
Newland," that he had a right to print and publifla
the fame, and that the Defendant injurioufly printed
a number of tittle longs in violation of this copy-right.
There were two counts in the declaration : it was
defcribed as a parm, as a copy of vet:fts, and as along.
Mr. ERSR IN a Rated to his Lordlhip and the Gen-
tlemen of the Jury, that the Plaintiff in this anion
was a mufic-felle: at Liverpool, and that the Defen-
dant was in the fame way of bufinefs in this town.
This cafe might be confidered by many as of fmall
importance ; but ,that was always important, that
was attended with bene6r.

Lord ELLA noßoucH here afked, if this Fong was
entered at S;ationers' Ball, purfuant to the Statute
of Anne ?

Mr. ERSKINE laid it was not, and that it was not
neceirary in an aClion ; it wac only neeeffary to be
entered for the purpofe of penalties.
His Lordfhip aflecd, if this fong was a Book ?
Mr. ERSKINE replied, that he film:ld moll clear•
ly bring it within his Lordfbip's JurifdiClion. The
fubjeft matter of this affirm was this: Mr. Dibdin,
who is a man of humour and genius, compofed a
little poem, which afterwards, in different parts of
England, was let to mtific•' and it was a poem on
the fame fubjeet, which had occupied the greatell
poets in the world, in all ages. No man was better
acquainted with all the learning of the ancient world
than his Lordfhip. This fabjea had occupied the
poets of all times—" 7he love sj.mos F v." From the
time of the Creeks down to the time of our own Sa-
tirifis,on this very tnp;c,

. -
O civet, river, qua: coca pecun:a prirnum eR:
Vines poft nummoik.
Money, he laid, prolsuced many virtues, and a great
many vices. But fuppofe there was a condi tranf-
lation of there poets, he did not think it was probable
their beauties were likely to engrofs the attention of
the mats of mankind. Sir Jolbua Reynolds, who was
a great roaßer in printing, ufed to fay, that "it re-
quired great taße to fee that which was excellent in
the fine arts." A vulgar man would be apt to let
the fame value on the paintings at Vauxhall, as nn
thole of Reubens, or of the fir-ft matters of the art.
Mr. Dibdin did not addreti his vcrfes fo much to the
learned, as to the mats of mankind. He chafe for his
fubjeft the overruling power of money ; and as Mr.
Abraham Newland was the great reprefentative
our currency, which had fo long Rood its ground,
and which was likely to continue lo to do, it had been
called after his name.

The Learned Ccunfcl here read part of the fong :
Ob brave Abraham Newland,
Ntifp'd/Abrabam Newland;
I've beard people fay,
Thatfiam Abram you may;
But you mutt notivain Aoradri Nevrialtd.
This long was merely meant to reprefent the value of
our paper credit, the name of Abraham Newland
being fuhfcribed to all our notes. Without entering
into the merits or demerits of this poem, whether it
was good or bad, it certainly had a great number of
readers. It had been heard in theatres, and had been
set to mufic, though it was not for the mufic, but only
for the words, this :Ann was brought.
Lord ELLENNORDUCN wished to fee the Bth of
Anne, relative to this ftihjed.
Mr. EASEINE obferved, that fome time ago this
was matter of great controverfy among the greatell
Judges; and Lord MANSFIELD Cr.,fiklered it as a
common law right. That, independent of the. fla-
me, there was a right vellttd in every perfon who
was the author of every compofition, to prevent any
other perfon dcptiving him of the fruits of his in
genuity. Other Judges er,terrained different opinions I
on this fubjed. They held, while your bird Was in
your cage, it was yours ; while your book was in
your clolet, it was your propet ty ; hut the moment
it was publifhed, it was competent to others not only
to read it, but to copy it. To put an end to all dit-
putes on this fubjed, the Legillature, in the time of
QAnne, gave the author a veaed interell in his work
to: fourteen years, and, if he was living at the end of
that period, for another 14 years. There were 'pe
nalties annexed to the breach of the copy right,'
which were not fought to be recovered by this adion.
But, in order to recover the penaltie, the Legiflattire
required the obfervance of certain forms and cere-
monies, as, that it should be entered at Stationer's
Hall, &c.
Lord ELLENDOROVGN here obferved, that the tell-
ing cLinfe was detached from the penal claufe.
Mr. EESKI'II ObILIVed, that Mr. Ditidin having
compofed this little poem, It was set to mufic, and he
had a vaitnefs who tiled to flog it on the 'laze at Li•
verpool. His Learned Friend, perhaps, might fay, if
you allow a man to ling it on the Wage, you have loft
your copy-right. But that be denied. Nothing could
mike it more public than a publication, which had
not that effc9.

Lord ELLE NBOROOG H a(ked, if they could make
this long a book ; it was only one fiscet, and the word
in the Aa was hook. 11 Mr. F.rlkine put it on the
Common Law tight of the party, his Lordihip laid
he had an opinion on that point.
Mr. ERSK IN I laid, he illlolll.l never defire his Lord-
fhip to decide it on that kround. It had evea hccn
decided, that a long is within the Ad of Parliament.
Lord E oaotici; laid, that fcore might be a
print. He afked the Learned Counfel if they had
any decifinn that a long was a book within the mean-
ing of the Aia of Parliament ?
Mr. ER 111 I a laid it had hen fo decided.

Lord Ea.r.ry Boum:. ts laid, he rather doubted she.
ther there Ictel been any filch decilion. liis Lnidihip
adverted to the cafes or Beact, Donaldf
Mr. E"K 1" l'lPP"feds that if he had written a
poem of 2000 112024 i, or of 20, he contended that
gave him a copy-right to that comporition, which was
the work of the human mind, without regard to the
length of it.
Lord la.cewaoant•cu fri,t,the term ufed in thelift
was book, which he thought W2S material, aanfiJering
the regulations rn this fithjcet, in the time of Charles
the Sec.,ni. His Lord:hy, after looking at the Aft
of Ectli.cmcut, thought they could baldly get 00 Will

11113 care. lilt 1,; to be a baOlc, raid his Lardfliip,
than not extend it. After having been at fame pains
to underhand this fubjed, I cannot agree in the opi.
nion of Mr. J. Yeates.
Mr. ERSKINE laid, what he contended was this,
that this compofition was a poem, and that the law
applied to a poem whether it was long or (port. This
fang. was only one fheet. How many pages muffit
tonna of to constitute a bode ? Mull it have three or
four, or how many ?
Lord ELLENBOROUGH faid, he was quite clear on
the llatutc, it mull conlill of a plurality officer.
M. Ea SKIN t faid, if this poem had been printed in
large letters, it might have been made to amount to
feveral theets.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH faid it was very likely they
might have fpnn it out to make it a book.
Mr. ERSKINE hoped Lis Lordfhip would lave thk
point. .

Lord ELLENCOROUCK faid, he was of opinion
this was not a book. He did not know how fat Uhl
might be carried. What was to be faid of an hand:
bill, or of a fingle advertifement ? This thing is
nvither hitched, nor does it confift of a variety of
(fleets. Perhaps it might be raid, a book is that
which contifts of a numberof theetsftitched or bound.
He did not fay that was a perfedly correct definition
of a book ; but he was clear that a tingle 'beet un-
hitched, was not a book within the meaning of the
At ; and therefore, faid he, I think the Plaintiff
ought to be nenfuited, on this ground, that I am of
opinion, that a tong nn a tingle fleet is not a.book
within the At of Parliament.

Mr. ERSKINE laid, his Client had purchaftd it
quite unconnected with muiic, and it was afterwards
let to music from an idea it would be a popular Fong;
but they did not pretend to have a copy right in the
mufic. Any body might ling the long as often as
they pleatid ; but what the Plaintiff complained of
was, that the Defendant had printed THE WORDS of
the long.
Lord ELIANBOROUGII Paid, Mr. EISRINS had
opened to him the whole field of literary property,
and the common law right of authors, on which there
had been a great difference of opinion.
Mr. ER SKINK laid, the cafe wits fufficiently on his
Lordfbip's notes, if hethould happen to move it.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH faid, that two words put
upon a card, or one word, might fatisly the Ad of
Parliament, if it were to be carried to the length
contended for.

Mr. ERSKINE faid, k was unnecelTary to obferve,
that fame of the works of Mr. Abraham Newlauti,
though very fmall. were extremely valuable.
Plaintiff nonfulted.
