      Considering that, although painters and sculptors
      property rights to reproduce their works by engraving
      or by any other method in the same manner as authors
      and translators do have rights in their literary works,
      according to para. 5 of art. 3 of the Law of 1847,
      when observing the formalities prescribed therein,

      mas como cosa propia.
      
      Considerando que habiendo dibujado
      y litografiado el Genovés el catafalco
      que era propiedad de terceras personas, con
      licencia del alcalde de Barrio que ha-
