BRITISH MUSEUM'S STORE OF BOOKS.
MAGISTRATE AND "AN APPEALING PROSPECT."

"I have never heard of such a case," said Mr. Chartres Biron at Bow-street when Mr. Victor Hil- ton. an author, of Amesbury- avenue, Streatham, was summon- ed as the publisher of a book, "The World Shall Miss a' Grent Tregedian," for having failed to deliver a copy to the British Museum, in accordance with the Copyright Act. He pleaded guilty and was fined 40s, with 10 gulneas costs.
Mr. Lawson Campbell, prosecul- ing, explained that there had been only one similar enne in 50 years.
Mr. Hilton said that the rennon he did not submit a copy was that he was displeased with the book and wanted to withdraw it from publication.
Sir Charles Biron-What does the British Museum do with all these books? It has always been a puzzle to me.
Mr. Sharpe, Keeper of Printed Books Department at the British Muscum, reported that the books were catalogued and stored in the. Museum.
Sir Chartres Biron-Do they re- main there for ever?—Yes; we are bound to keep them.
Sir Chartres-You must have enormous spaces. It is an appail- ing prospect. I thought that per- hapa after a certain time they were destroyed.
Mr. Campbell mentioned that in the event of authors being dis- satisfied with their books the copies were not available to the public.
