THE question of literary property in foreigners has been completely, and we presume finally, decided by the House of Lords in the case of Jefferys v. Boosey*.

The facts were briefly these :-Bellini (who was an alien) composed the opera "La Sonnambula" at Milan, and by the law of that place was entitled to copyright in his composition, and to assign it. At the time of composing, and up to the time of the first publication, he resided at Milan. He assigned the copyright of the opera to Ricordi, who came to England, and there assigned it to Boosey for publication in the United Kingdom. Boosey was a British subject resident in England, and he first published the opera in London in 1831, which was the first publication either within or without the British dominions. He brought his action against Jefferys for infringing his copyright; and at the trial, before Rolfe, B., in 1850, the judge directed the jury that the evidence was not sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to a verdict. A bill of exceptions was tendered to this ruling, and thereupon a writ of error was brought

to the Court of Exchequer Chamber. That Court (Lord Campbell, C. J., and Patteson, Maule, Wightman, Cresswell, Erle, and Williams, JJ.) unanimously held that the ruling of Rolfe, B., was wrong, and awarded a venire de novo. A writ of error was brought upon this judgment to the House of Lords, and at the conclusion of the arguments this question was put to the judges, who had been summoned to attendwhether a foreign author resident abroad could lawfully assign to a British subject copyright in an unpublished work? Coleridge, Maule, Wightman, Erle, Williams, and Crompton, J.J., delivered their answer in the affirmative-Jervis, C.J., Pollock, C. B., Parke, B., and Alderson, B., in the negative. The House of Lords (the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord St. Leonards) agreed with the minority of the judges, and reversed the judgment of the Court of Exchequer Chamber. Before we examine the grounds on which the noble Lords rested their decision, we propose to shew the state of the law on this subject according to the previous authorities; although, as was observed by Alderson, B., it is wonderful how little of authority there was to guide the Court. With regard to one branch of the question, whether copyright existed at common law, there had been a conflict of opinion in the celebrated case of Miller v. Taylor, (4 Burr. 2303); Lord Mansfield, C. J., and Willes and Aston, JJ., being in favour of the common-law right-Yates, J., being opposed to it. As to the other branch, whether a copyright existed in foreigners resident abroad, ViceChancellor Shadwell in Delondre v. Shaw (2 Sim. 240) stated extra-judicially that the Court of Chancery does not interfere to protect the copyright of a foreigner; and shortly afterwards he held, ("what indeed could hardly have been doubted," per the Lord Chancellor in

Jefferys v. Boosey), that engravings designed and etched abroad, though first published here, were not entitled to the protection of our statutes. (Page v. Townsend, 5 Sim. 404). Then came D'Almaine v. Boosey, (1 Y. & C. 288), in which Lord Abinger granted an injunction in favour of a foreign composer. Afterwards Vice-Chancellor Shadwell expressed his opinion to be in favour of the foreigner's copyright, but would not decide the point without a previous trial at law. (Bentley v. Foster, 10 Sim. 330; and see Chappell v. Purday, 4 Y. & C. 485). In Clementi v. Walker, (2 B. & Cr. 861), Bayley, J., said that the statute of Anne was made with a view to British interests and the advancement of British learning, and that without " very clear words shewing an intention to extend the privilege to foreign works, it must be confined to books printed within this kingdom." Since that time the question has been brought before all the common-law Courts, and their judgments have been conflicting. The Court of Queen's Bench and the Court of Common Pleas decided in favour of the foreigner's right. (Boosey v. Davidson, 13 Q. B. 287; Cocks v. Purday, 5 C. B. 882). The Court of Exchequer held that the statutes did not extend to foreigners. (Chappell v. Purday, 14 M. & W. 303; Boosey v. Purday, 4 Exch. 145).

This terque quaterque vexata quæstio has at length been set at rest, and the important judgment of the law Lords, achieving so desirable a result, may be thus stated in condensed terms:

Copyright is the exclusive right of multiplying copies of a work already published, and is the creature of statute law, or, at all events, is entirely regulated by it. The object of the first and principal statute, (8 Ann. c. 19), as expressed by its preamble, was "the encouragement of learned men to compose and write useful books;" and with a view to its attainment it is enacted, that "the author" of any book shall have the sole liberty of printing it for the term of fourteen years. The statute refers to British authors only. Primâ facie the Legislature must be taken to have made laws for its own subjects exclusively, more especially where an exclusive privilege is given to a particular class at the expense of the rest of the nation. The subjects, however, thus legislated for include all persons who are within the Queen's dominions, and who thus owe to her a temporary allegiance, as well as British subjects who are abroad. A foreigner, therefore, coming to this country, and publishing his works here, will be entitled to protection, though he comes only for the purpose of publishing such work*. Copyright commences at the instant of publication, and if at that time the foreigner is not in this country he is not protected. As he is unable to confer a right which he does not possess, he cannot under such circumstances assign his copyright so as to give a valid title in this

* This was so stated by the Lord Chancellor, and not dissented from by the other Lords; but Lord St. Leonards said, "I will not take upon myself to state any opinion to your Lordships as to what would be a sufficient residence; but I will say this, that whatever would constitute a man a resident here, so as to make him subject, in point of allegiance, to the country whilst he was here, and would give to him the common rights to which every foreigner coming to this country is entitled, would be a residence which would give him a copyright here if he published here."

country. Copyright is not to be confounded with the right to publish or to abstain from publishing a work not yet published at all; the common law gives a man who has composed a work a right to that composition, just as he has a right to any other part of his personal property; but the question of the right of excluding all the world from copying that composition after it has been published to the world is a very different one. In answer to the argument (used by way of reductio ad absurdum) that a foreigner, having composed a work at Calais, gains a British copyright if he crosses to Dover and there first publishes it, whereas he would have no copyright if he should send it to an agent to publish for him, the Lord Chancellor said—“ It is only one among the thousand instances that happen not only in law, but in all the daily occurrences of life, that whenever it is necessary to draw a line, cases bordering closely on either side of it are so near to each other that it is difficult to imagine them as belonging to separate classes; and yet our reason tells us that they are as completely distinct as if they were immeasurably removed from each other. The second which precedes midday is as completely distinct from that which follows it as the events which happened a hundred years ago are from those which are to occur in the next century."

Lord Brougham and Lord St. Leonards expressed very strong opinions that copyright does not exist at common law; and Lord St. Leonards laid down two propositions which were not alluded to by the other Lords, namely, that there is no copyright in works printed abroad and published here, but that they must be both printed and published in this country; and that copyright is an indivisible right; it may be transferred, but not divided; hence a partial assignment, e. g. for the United Kingdom, is void, but this is not to be confounded with a mere license. The same noble and learned Lord also expressed an opinion, that an assignment of copyright, wherever made, will not be valid in England unless it is in writing, and attested by two witnesses. Lord Brougham inclined to the opinion that the attestation of two witnesses is dispensed with by stat. 54 Geo. 3, c. 156.

The consequences of the decision which we have been considering are very important. On the one hand, it will work serious loss to those who have purchased foreign copyrights on the faith of what was generally supposed to be the law upon the subject; on the other, it will probably point out to the Americans the expediency of respecting British copyright for the purpose have expressly enacted that copyright there shall be of maintaining their own. The American Legislature confined to natives or persons resident within the United States. They may now seek, under the International Copyright Act, 7 Vict. c. 12, to avail themselves of a protection which they have long denied to others, and which they can receive only by giving it in their turn to the authors of this country.

Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas at The Right Hon. Sir John Jervis, Knt., Lord Chief Westminster, has appointed Charles Bayly, of Torquay, Devonshire, Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Commis sioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, in and for the county of Devon.
