.VICE•CHANCALIiOR'S COURT, Trieltiaai.

truer v., swam?. Vel)
in this cause an injunction was moved for to restrain
the defendant from publisbiog a certain work, which
was alleged to be a piracy from the low Reports of Mr.
Vestry, the plaintiff.
Mr. WiTtialigLl., for the defer:dent, contended that
in abridgment, duly and properly executed las, in fact,
• new work. The question here was how far the work
Onhlialied bydefeiidants was oot an abridgment. It was
p Asada that it might so far differ from the work from
which it *as alleged to be taken, as to be any thing ra-
ther than a pitaey. The question of piracy mist de-
pend on all these contradictions, besides which the size
and price of the wdtk might cause a.nnsterial alteration,
Mr. Reasses for the plaintiff', said that Mr. Vrsey
complained particularly of the passage in page 208, as
being similar in every reaped to a passage in his own
work. This Mr. Vesey had sworn.
Tile VICE-CHANCELLAM said that he had lookid at
two passages in both books, of which that in page 20d
was one, and judging froth them he should say, that the
work published by the defendants was as little like ao
abridgment is any book of Reports he has ever seem.—
Thus far it appeased to him there was evidence of fraud
on literary property.
Mr. Wyreestati. said his Honour must be aware that
the passage) referred to tiight not be fair samples of the
whole work.
The Vice-Chatecutort said that all be bad yet seen
Or heard traded only to confirm him in the belief'tbat the
person who bad got possession of the new work had also
got possession of Mr. Vesey's book. But the regular
mole mould be to refer the cause to the Master, who
would compare both works, and make his report ac-
cordingly.
Mr. Weeheiett said be did sot object to this course.

LEWES. JULY 30.
CROWN SIDE.
Sarah Bacon was charged with the wilfql murder of a
pew born male bastard child, in the Sub-Deaner of
Cl ieites.er. The prisoner appeared to be about thirty
years of age, and seemed to be labouring under extreme'
sr guish. The Learned Judge permitted ber to hiee
clia;r during the investigation of the case.
Ruth Morris, house maid living with Mr. Dandy's
family at Chichester, deposed to various circumstances
regarding the conduct of the prisoner (who was cook
there) on the night of the Vila of June last, and that
a':i on the Tuesday following found the body of a new
'born infant in the stable.
Thomas Mont, footman to Mr. Deady, also saw the
betty in the stable, and observed that there was a piece
of tape tied round the child's neck.
fhe witness here produced the tape; it appeared to
he something like an apron-string. The prisoner lifted
np her head and fixed ber eye steadfastly on it while in
the witness's hand.]
Charles bledlinrst, Mr. Dandy's gardener, en Tuesday
the Ist July, found the body of a male infant in the
water-closet with a string round its neck; it was quite
ratted ; the string was tied in a knot. The body was
placed in the straw. During the afternoon witness
ask..el prisoner when it happened ? She said, " she be-
lieeM it was between three and four o'clock on the
blot:day morning." Shh said the child was dead, and she
did not know what to do with it; witness enquired why
0:e put the tape rotted the neck if it was dead. She re-
plied. " she did rot know that she bad ; but if it was so
she did it in her fright."
Mr. Winiem eon
tiruggen, a surg, residing at Chiches-
ter, who had ptactised Inicheifiryt during 12 or 13 years,
kintitted the body, and thought the child had been alive
find breathed. At the request of the Coroner witness ex-
arrileed the prisoner, and she acknowledged she had been
delivered, and told hint where she had thrown the child,
it'd that it was born dead. Witness had attended ahove
a thousand females. The prisoner might have been in a
degree of temporary insanity, or insensibility at the time
of the birth. The child was certainly past the eighth
111 'nib.
The prisoner, when called on for her defence. only
said, the child was not born alive.
The Jury consulted for shoot a quarter of an Ulm
when they found the prisoner—Not guilty of murder,
bar guilty of concealing the birth.
Mr. Biron OaAisam then addressed the prisoner as
fell tors t--" Sarah Baton, you stand convicted by a
verdict pronounced by a Jury of your country, not-to-
decd of the heavy charge which this indictment prefers
against you, and which the humanity of the Jury has
prevented them from finding against you, but they find
you Olt,/ of having endeavoured to conceal the birth of
s.ae child of which you were delivered. You cannot but;
be aware, and perhaps you may be conscious yourself of,
the great extent of mischief that has ensued, from that;
unpardonable indiscretion, at least—to call it by bo
harder name. When I look to the circumstances of
your case, and look to its consequences, I cannot but coi-
ei-ler your offence as a grave and serious one, even in the
mitigated character in which it is now brought forward
pgainst you. i feel it my duty, therefore, to sentence
yen to tw imprisoned in that House of Correction for the
apace of twelve caleader months,"
