general practice amongst persons exercising the art or
business of copper-plate engravers in this kingdom, to
lipbe4ny number of impressions, from six to twelve,
without the consent of the pegs-sits by whom they were
employed, and-afterwards to dispose of them for their
own benefit? or whether there existed any such usage
f••r their appropriating to themselves eight impressions
from copper-plates so engraved by theist ? The Learned
Gentleman said, that great difficulty was expel ienced in
demterising the best form of issue, and that the special
pleader at length advised the lot m of issue which was
then submitted to his Honour.

Mr. GIRDLE-T3N, for the defendants. complAineei that
the plaintiff, although he obtained the injunction so far
back as July, kept the order quietly in his pocket, until
last Saturday, when notice of the present motion was
given. The Learned Gentlem in said he was anxious
to have the opin on of a special pleader as to the issue,
before he could consent to its adoption.

'flie \Tics Cnarcosi.coa directed the matter to stand over until
the next day of motions. In the mean time an opportunity would
be bad of submitting the issue to the special pleader.

Mr. COMMON SERGEANT, on' a former day of the
present Term, moved for and obtained a rule,
upon the defendant, a Clergyman of the Established
Church, to shew cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against him for wit king divers de-
famatory letters of and conceininf a young Lady of
respectability. recently married. 'I he prosecution was
instituted by the Gentleman who had married the young
Lady ; and Mr. Common Sergeant now moved to make
the rule absolute.

Mr. GourasunNE, for the defendant, now stated that
he WAS bound to admit his client had written these let-
ters in a most unguarded moment, and all he could now
do was to disclaim utterly the truth of the imputations
against the Lady in question. The Learned Counsel
was in no condition to shew cause against the rule,
because any topics which he had to urge would be per-
fectly misplaced at the present moment. In this situa-
ti ,n, he hoped that his Friend the Common Sergeant,
would use his endeavours to let the matter drop here,
upnn the defendant paying full costs.
The Cosissou Staciaawr continuing to press his application, the
rule was made absolute.

BIDGOOD V. DAVIS.

Mr. ScAntwrr shewed cause against a rule obtained
on a former day by Mr. Dowling in this case, when
the plaintiff claimed exemption from arrest, by virtue
of his office of Warder of the Tower. The Learned
Counsel argued against the rule from the circumstance
that the office was performed by deputy, and that in
fact the defendant had put in special bail.
The Soucrrua GENERAL, Mr. Canty, and Mr. Dowinto, were
heard in suppoi t of the rule.
llte Cater JUSTICE was of opinion that the defendant should sue
out his writ of privilege if he wished to avail himself of it. Rule
discharged without costs.
