was an application to the Lord Chancellor, upon motion on behalf of the first-named Defendant, Strange, that an injunction, which had been granted by the ViceChancellor Knight Bruce, to restrain Strange, his agents, servants, and workmen, from exhibiting the gallery or collection of etchings in the Complainant's bill mentioned, or any of such etchings, or from making or permitting to be made any engravings or copies of the same or any of them, and from in any manner publishing the same or any of them, or from parting with or disposing of the same or any of them, and from selling or in any manner publishing, and from printing, the Descriptive Catalogue in the Complainant's bill mentioned, or any work being or purporting to be a catalogue of the said etchings, until the said Defendant should fully answer the Complainant's bill, or the Court should

impressions whereof have, by improper and surrepticome into the possession of other parties, is entitled to an injunction, not

only to restrain those parties from exhibiting those impres

sions, and from publishing

copies of them, but also to restrain them from publishing a catalogue compiled by themselves, in which an enumeration and descriptive account of those etchings is contained, and that, although there is no violation of any contract, either express or implied, between the owner and the compilers of the catalogue.

Where A. and B. were respectively the makers and owners of several etchings, of which a catalogue was proposed to be improperly published by a person who had surreptitiously obtained copies of the etchings, and a bill was filed by A. against the publisher of the catalogue and B., A. was held to be entitled to an injunction to restrain the publication of the catalogue generally, not only so far as it related to his own etchings, but likewise so far as it related to those of B. also.
