• "In May [of 1896] Raithby, Lawrence won an injunction against Hilton ordering him to desist for ten years dating from the original 1890 agreement, and he was also ordered to pay the plaintiff's court costs. Hilton agreed to the judgment, but it was soon discovered that he had visited his printer again and paid for the sheets of the second number in the name of G. Brown. The second number appeared in July (backdated to March-April and now called simply The Art Printer & Lithographer)" (Young 39-41)
