NEW YoRK, April "a decision has
bssn handed down by Judge Townsend In

stops the further publication OF the Ency-
c!opAedia Britannica In America. This do.
cision was reached in the protracted suis
OF A. C. Black. publisher, OF Edinburgh.
against Funk q wagnell, Henry G. Allen
ct al, Of this city, for the piracy OF their
piblicatiou, and IL 10 in favor OF the
plaintiffs and permanently eujoins the de-
PENDANTS from manufacturing OF selling
reprints.
The defendants published what 10
known as the Scribner Britannica. In the
Edinburgh edition there were articles
which were copyrighted and the same
were embraced In the American edition.
Il was the production OF the copyrighted
articles that led to the controversy.
Judge Townsend holds that the copys
right vas infringed and that the injunction
must stand against the defendants. This
dec ision leaves the edition published BY
the Werner Co. Of Chicago practically
alone In tho field as Il is now recognised
by tho courts as the only legal edition In
America.
