Wheaton v. Peters,—an action brought by Wheaton (the old reporter) against Peters for publishing in his Condensed Reports the twelve volumes of Wheaton, thus, as is alleged, violating Wheaton's copyright. One of the grounds of the defence—and a very interesting one—is, that there cannot beWheaton's copyright. One of the grounds of the defence—and a very interesting one—is, that there cannot be a copyright in the opinions of the court published in the Reports. This ground is strongly upheld by Ingersoll, Peters' counsel at Philadelphia, in a printed argument, which I have read. John Sergeant is Peters' counsel, and Webster, Wheaton's. The brief of Mr. Webster's argument in Wheaton v. Peters, 8 Peters' Reports, pWheaton v. Peters, 8 Peters' Reports, p. 591, was taken by Mr. Peters, the reporter, from Sumner's notes, made during the argument. Mr. Peters prevailed in the case. Franklin Dexter made an argume

You see none of the paleness and the disagreeable lines of study on their countenances. I visited the Law Library for a moment with a gentleman of the bar, who, seeing that I was a stranger, offered to introduce me. There are some few American reports,—Peters and Wheaton,—but the bulk of the Library, I think, consists of French works.... Dr. Barber 1784-1864.

s of Lansdowne, 1780-1863. He was the son of William, the second Earl of Shelburne (who is honorably identified with the opposition to coercive measures against the American colonists). He became a successful debater in the House of Commons; was Chancellor of the Exchequer, 1806-7; Lord President of the Council, 1830-41 and 1846-52. He was an enlightened statesman; supported the abolition of slavery, and Catholic Emancipation. He was the friend of men of letters,—notably of Macaulay. Henry Wheaton, the publicist, introduced Sumner by letter to Lord Lansdowne.

He had previously been kind enough to call upon me, and presented me with a card for his great ball in honor of the Coronation, and also with a card of admission to the Abbey; the latter I gave away to a friend, Ralph Randolph Wormeley, afterwards Rear-Admiral of the British Navy, 1785-1
