CORONATION.—To the Nobility and Gentry.—
A spacious Mansion, No. I, the COMM' of Palace-
yard and Parliament-street, is now. lilting up for tbia splen-
did Pageant, In a style of peculiar elegance. comfort, and
convenience, combining in this latter respect the most per-
fect accommodation for Ladies, and to whom the front rows
will be exclusively appropriated. The view is most (tom-
manding,'t iz. from Westminster Hall to the .tbbey door.
Reference to the premises most convince every one of the
superiority of the situation.—An Office for Tickets is opened
at the house, where a gentleman attends from nine in the
moraine ; they may also be had of Messrs. Evans and Lu-
cas music-sellers, near Bow Church, Cbeapside ; at the Mer-
maid Tavern, Hackney ; of Mr. James Brown, builder, !4,
Charles-street, Westminster ; and of Mr. Thomas Benson,
surveyor, dm. 26, Hatton-garden.
Wines and refreshments of a most superior quality, and
at reasonable rates, will be provided on the premises.

his Majesty's Governmeat, and it was only after th
measure had received the sanction of a la►ge majutity
of Parliament. that they bad declared theseselve
its favour. Ile would fairly admit that he would hay-
preferred that the proposition should never have been
made. or the Bill tendered to their Lordships. And it
be were asked whether he considered the relief of
400,04M1. thus given to the farmers, equal to the ad•
vantages which would result from the repeal, he should
sot hesitate to answer, no. He bad originally de-
clared in that House, that he saw no ground for ex-
pecting that an}• good would result from the appoint-
ment of an Agricultural Committee, but that on the
contrary. much mischief might possibly ensue. But
the Noble Earl opposite was for a!lopting another
course, and for having a Committee to inquire into thu
state of the Revenue, in order to see what taxes might
be most conveniently repealed. If this were done, it
would be attended with the same consequences as the
Agricultural Committee. Every Member of the Com-
mittee would have a favourite object in view, and
would propose the repeal of a particular tax Some spe-
cimen of this might be produced by his Noble Friend's
speech, for whilst be (Lord Lauderdale) was for re-
pealing the leather tax, he (Lord Liverpool,) thought
that there Isere neans• others which it woul.l he more
beneficial I. abolish. The present measure, however,
ta as attended by one advantage. if it were not felt by
the cou•etry at large, it was at least one by which re-
lief was directly given from the Exchequer to the in-
dividuals coneernel It must also be recollected that
the Agricultural interest was of all others, that 03
which the pressure was the greatest. Nay, the sub-
ject itself was t oration, and on such a hew! sum • ile-
frrener ought to be p.titt to the ”litiments .9: :he other•
House, unless the inconvenience should be very great
indeed.

The Earl (4 CAMINARVON considered the present
system of thtam e altuzetlier wrong. Indirect taxa-
th.n hail atta:neti is maximum, and new taxes cquld

INIPOWANT INJUNCTION.
MIYIURAT e. 1111•NDALL.—ItVXDALI. r. Airanstr.

Mr. fizat.o stated that this WWI Z n,otinu, to e
411 injunction, granted in December, 1419, to the plai!i-
tiff, an eminent bookseller, to restrain Rimlall front
,JublishinK the " New System of I toturstic Cookery, on
t.fe priuciple of economy, and adapted to the use of pri-
vate families." There was ako a cross motion betwero

the same parties, *hereby the plaintiff in the second
named cause sought to restrain Mr. Murray from pub-
lishing the same work. It appeared, that in the year
led:), Mrs. Hut►dall, in consequence of a previous ini-
tnacy between her “::11 the plaintiff, gave him the manu-
script of a system of cookery, the result of her own prac-
tice and observation, for the exclusive privilege of ap-
? ing to his own nit.. Mr. Murray then added a title
p Igo and index, and made sonic trivial additions in the
boay of the work, and then published it, having Arst
..s.lottiged a receipt, for malting hens lay eggs. The first
impression was nut successful ; and, Mrs. Rundall, to
give a further interest to the book, in ISO 7 wrote some
observations on carving, and presented them to Mr.
Murray, who also embellished it with nine new plat►s.
and putlislied a second edition. IVith these impro%e-
'tient% the book had received very considerable patronage,
and Mr. Murray had been suffered to enjoy its advantages
until the year 1%19, when Mrs. Rundall gave him a o-
live, that she intended to publish the book for her oz n
use, .n.. 1 required him to discontinue the future publica-
tion of it. Mrs. Itundall claimed the work in 1919, by
the Statute of the first of Anne, which established the
right of authors to reclaim their works, after the period
of fourteen yeart, ttuless an absolute assignment of ad
their interest in them had been made. This Statute was
confirmed, and extended by the forty-first of the late
King, c. 107.
Mr. Parve, with Mr. Iluat.n.—Mr. Murray had by his
affidavit, asked that Mrs. might be precluded
from publishing that part of the work that was his ; bat
as the title page formed a part of the book it could not
now be taken from it. Mr. Murray, he said, could not
use it, but as a deception to represent Mrs. Ruochill's
book, but in their hands, it was not a deception, being
the title of the book which they were selling to-the
world. Mr. Murray had no interest in the title page,
and it must be considered as a part of the book ; and,
therefore, that part of his Injunetion which restrained
from selling under his title was useless, as he could not
use it himself.
Mr. SHAtowELL contended that the gift of 1805 oper-
ated as an assignment of all her interest in the stork,
and although there was no legal instrument by Which
the gift was effected, it would at Law amount
licence to.him to publish for his own benefit.
