In the Rolls Court, on Tuesday, Mr. Bothell applied on
behalf of John Cobbett and Susan Cobbett, in whom respectively the copyright of two works of the late Mr. Cobbett was vested, for an injunction to restrain the defendant Strange, the publisher of a work in numbers entitled the Beauties, of Cobbett, from continuing to publish or sell that work, on the ground of its being a piracy of two works of the late Mr. Cobbett, entitled Advice to Young Men, and Cottage Economy. Two of the numbers in particular of the publication sought to be re- strained contained the most striking and interesting parts of the work entitled Cottage Economy. The Master of the Rolls granted the injunction.
On Saturday morning, a number of male convicts were removed from Newgate to the hulks at Chatham, preparatory to their trans- portation. Among them were the Reverend James Sevencroft Blom- field (convicted of stealing a gold snuff-box), Octavius Smith, and Charles and William Mann, and several others formerly moving in a respectable station in society, who were tried during the sittings of the Central Criminal Court held this month.
