Another effort was to have been in the Church Assembly meetia settle the important question a ownership of copyright in the R Prayer Book. The book, as is ally kuown, has been printed and] lv circulated without the author] Parliament, which refused to , aj it. Parts of the revision are aj in use more or less officially in U churches in England. I

Whatever the decision of the . bly. it, is probable that the p will be formally tested by .the p tion of some part of the book w the permission of the Central Boj Finance, by whom the copyright claimed.

The issue has been raised agj a section of the report of the fl Board of Finance, in which it nounced that a Prayer Book Con Committee has been appointed 1 minister tihe property. The am] merit contained the following I ment: I

1 ‘ It has been hold by high au: that the copyright in the Dej B'ook of 1928 was vested in the { stance in the House of Bishoj members of which assigned it ] Central Board of Finance.” This assertion was to be cha] by a group of members of. the' bly, and notice had been given following question: “Who was the 'high authoritl advised the board that the join] ors of the Deposited Book had] right in it; .and why (seeing ti Bishops publicly and frequently! ed during the discussion of th| that it was the corporate workl whole Assembly and not a ‘3 Book’) he discriminated betwJ bishops Sind the other members I Assembly, as joint owners of thl right under statute?” I If the first claim of the Hoi Bishops to the copyright in thl were ultimately to be upset as I suit of a test action at law, fol the unauthorised publication ol of the book, an important pi would have been established I
