PRIVY COUNCIL TEST
IRISH FREE STATE CASE FOR HEARING
QUESTION OF COPYRIGHT J.ONDON, Wednesday. The atiUide of the Irish Free State Government toward appeals to the Privy Council is likely shortly to be tested, owing to a pending appeal, in which the Bray Urban Council is concerned. Bray is a seaside resort near Dublin. During a carnival in 1926 the councils’ baud, it is alleged, played selections from “Lilac Time,” and also an old-time waltz, “Venus on Earth.” The Performing Rights Society brought an action for infringement of copyright and won the case in the local court, but the Supreme Court reversed the decision. From this an appeal is being made to the Privy Council.
