SPIRIT WRITING.

CLAIMS TO THE COPYRIGHT. CURIOUS CASE IN LONDON. Sun. LONDON, March 28. Spiritualists crowded the Chancery Court when Mr. Justice Eve heard a motion in which was raised the novel point of copyright in a spirit communication. Miss Cummins, daughter of a Court physician, and described as an "automatic medium," sought to restrain Mr. Bligh Bond, a, psychic worker of worldwide repute, from publishing a chronicle of Cleophas. Both parties claimed the authorship of the script, which purported to be a continuation of the Acts of the Apostles. Miss Cummins claims that she produced the chronicle in a trance. Mr. Bond asserts that his hand rested on that of Miss Cummins, and that therefore the chronicle was the result of his psychic cooperation. Counsel explained that the first article was an interesting addition to the story of Ananias and Sapphira. The Judge asked whether the automatic writing was in English or in Greek. He was informed that the chapter concerning Ananias was in the handwriting of Miss Cummins. The hearing was adjourned.
