I.

AN injunction was awarded to restore and quiet the plaintiff and his tenants in the poffeffion of the premises in question; but it was at the fame time ordered that he should appear to an ejectment to be brought by the defendant, in order to try the title. An ejectment was accordingly brought, and the defendant obtained a verdict, and was afterwards put into poffeffion; but on appeal it was ordered, that he should be at liberty to bring an ejectment to recover poffeffion of the premises, and that no mortgage fhould be fet up in bar to the title. 3 Bro. Par. Caf. 276, 1726. Seagrave v. Ryan.

2. It is ufual in Ireland, for a leffee who has been in poffeffion three years, and is difturbed, to file his bill in the Court of Chancery there, for an injunction to quiet him in poffeffion, till evicted by due courfe of law; and this ufage is founded upon the equity of the ftatutes against forcible entries; but all bills of this kind must allege, and it must alfo be proved, that the sole and actual poffeffion is in the plaintiff, and that no ownership or poffeffion is in any other perfon. 4 Bro. Par. Caf. 128. 1733. Vernon v. Mayor, &c. of Dublin.

3. Where there is a grant of a new invention by patent, a small, variation of the invention will not entitle another to break in upon the patent; and in the cafe of the grant of the fole printing of a book to the author, who takes whole paragraphs from another book, it is not material; for it may be neceffary to intro duce what is new. 3 P. Wms. 255. East. 1734. Gibbs v. Cole.

4. Where a man fuffers another to build upon his land, without fetting up a title till afterwards, the Court of Chancery will oblige him to permit fuch perfon quietly to enjoy. 2 Atk. 83. Nov. 1740. Eaft India Company v. Vincent.

5. On application for an injunction, it was determined, that the act 8 G. 2. for the encouragement of the arts of defigning, engraving, &c. is not confined to works of invention only, but means the defigning or engraving any thing already in nature; a print published of any building, house, or garden, is within the act. And the property of prints vefts abfolutely in the engraver, though the day of publication be not mentioned; but the property in books does not veft, without being first entered at Stationers'-hall. 2 Atk. 93. Dec. 1740. Blackwell v. Harper.

6. The ftatute 8 Ann. c. 19., for vefting the copies of books in authors, is not a monopoly, but ought to receive the most liberal conftruction. Books colourably fhortened, are within the act; but an abridgment fairly made is a new book, because the judgment of the author is fhewn in it. The object of this fuit was an injunction to stay printing a book, upon the fuggeftion that it was borrowed verbatim from another work. The court would not send it to law, because it would be abfurd for a judge to fit to hear both books read, but faid the parties fhould fix upon two perfons learned in the law to read the books, and report their opinion. 2 Atk. 141. March 1740. Gyles v. Wilcox.

7. Defendant, on the coming in of his anfwer, moved to dif folve an injunction against his vending a book of letters from Swift, Pope, and others: held that a collection of letters, as well as other books, is within the act of Ann. And the injunction was continued as to the letters written by Mr. Pope. 2 Atk. 342. June 1741. Pope v. Curl.-The receiver of a letter has a joint property with the writer, and the poffeffion does not give him a right to publish it.-The reprinting a book in ENGLAND, pirated and printed in IRELAND, is an evafion of the act. S. C.

8. The plaintiff moved for an injunction to prevent the defendant's using the Mogul ftamp on his cards, fuggesting the fole right to be in the plaintiff, having appropriated the stamp to himfelf, conformably to the charter granted to the card-makers' company by King Charles the First; but the court refufed the injunc tion, being of opinion that there was no inftance of reftraining a trader from making use of the fame mark with another. 2 Atk. 484. Dec. 1742. Blanchard v. Hill.

9. Leffor grants a building leafe for fixty-one years, of a house in Lincoln's-Inn Fields, to W., who afligns over the leafe to the plaintiff for the remainder of the term; plaintiff rebuilds the houfe, and lays out 5000l. for that purpofe, and pays the rent referved, viz. 40l. to the leffor, till his death. On the death of the leffor the defendant became entitled, as first remainder-man in tail; for fix years he received the rent, and then brought an ejectment, and recovered at law for want of the ufual covenants in the building lease. Plaintiff brought his bill for an injunction, and to be quieted in the poffeffion of the houfe. The court directed a new leafe to be executed with proper covenants, and the plaintiff to hold the premises for the remainder of the term. 3 Atk. 692. March 1748. Stiles v. Cowper.

10. The ftat. 8 G. 2. c. 13., relative to prints, protects only the maker and defigner. Amb. 164. March 1753. Jeffery v.

Baldwin.

11. An abstract of a book, published in a magazine, held not to be piracy; efpecially as the author had published extracts of it in another paper. Amb. 403. March 1761. Dodfley v. Minnerfley.

12. The author of a farce permitted it to be performed, for which he received a premium, but never published it; it was taken down in fhort hand during the performance. Injunction

13. Injunction granted to restrain the printing and publishing private letters, without the confent of the executors of the perfon who wrote them. Amb. 737. March 1774. Thompson v. Stanhope. 14. An injunction will be awarded against the fale of a book piratically taken from another, but not against a fair abridgment. 1 Bro. Ch. Rep. 451. Trin. 1785. Bell v. Walker.

15. A., having fold to a bookfeller a book of roads, which was printed in letter-prefs, after the expiration of the first 14 years fold it to another, who publifhed the high roads upon copperplates, and the cross roads in letter-prefs; as to the laft, an injunction was granted. 2 Bro. Ch. Rep. 80. Trin. 1786. Carnan v. Bowles.

16. Injunction that the validity of a patent might be tried at law; verdict for the patentee, fubject to the opinion of the court upon a cafe: the court were equally divided; the patentee muft bring another action: but the court would not impose any terms upon him, nor diffolve the injunction in the mean time. 3 Vef. jun. 140. June 1796. Bolton v. Bull.

17. The plaintiff publifhed a book of roads of Great Britain, comprising Patterson's Book, to the copyright of which the plaintiff was not entitled, with improvements and additions obtained by actual furvey and otherwife. An injunction to reftrain the publication of an edition of Patterson's Book, comprising the plaintiff's improvements and additions, was refufed. 3 Vef. jun. 20. Nov. 1799. Cary v. Faden.

18. Injunction against a colourable abridgement of the Term Reports B. R. among other law reports, till anfwer or further order, upon certificate of the bill filed. 5 Vef. jun. 709. January 1800. Butterworth v. Robinson.

1. SIR Conflantine Phipps moved for an injunction, because the defendant had only demurred to the bill without pleading or anfwering, which he alleged was only in delay. The court refused to grant an injunction, but ordered the demurrer to be fet down to be argued on a fhort day. Bunb. 11.

2. Upon an extent an inquifition was taken, which found a term of fo much value; the defendant pleaded to the inquisition, and it was found for the crown; and it was infifted for the defendant that the court should order a venditioni exponas, but an injunction was awarded to put the crown into poffeffion.
