United States Supreme Court
138 U.S. 252
Waterman v. Mackenzie
(5) An assignment, made April 16, 1886, and recorded April 22, 1886, from Mrs. Waterman to the plaintiff of all her right, title, and interest in the patent and invention, and all her claims or causes of action for the infringement of the patent, and rights to damages or profits by reason thereof. The circuit court allowed the plea, for reasons stated in its opinion, as follows: 'The transfer to Asa L. Shipman is in language so emphatic and exact that there is little opportunity for misapprehension. It matters not what the instrument is called. It matters not that it may be defeated by the payment of $6,500 on November 25, 1887. The fact remains that by virtue of this assignment or mortgage the title to the patent was on April 24, 1886, when this action was commenced, outstanding in Asa L. Shipman. If it was not absolute, it was a present, existing title, defeasible upon a condition subsequent. On April 16th, therefore, when Sarah E. Waterman assigned all her right, title, and interest to the complainant, she had nothing to assgn which could at all change the legal status of the parties. She could not vest a clear title to the patent in the complainant, for the obvious reason that she had previously disposed of it, and did not own it. The agreement of November 20, 1884, being a license and nothing more, does not enable the complainant to maintain this action without joining the holder of the legal title. The suggestion that, irrespectively of the Shipman assignment, the complainant is enti tled to prosecute for infringements alleged to have occurred between February 12 and November 25, 1884, is equally unavailing; for, assuming such a right of action to exist, it could only be maintained on the law and not on the equity side of the court. The plea is allowed. The complainant may amend, upon payment of costs, within ten days.' 29 Fed. Rep. 316.
The plaintiff not having filed an amended bill within the 10 days, a final decree was entered dismissing his bill, with costs, and he appealed to this court.
Walter S. Logan, for appellant.
Mr. Justice GRAY, after stating the facts as above, delivered the opinion of the court.

United States v. United Shoe Machinery Company of New Jersey
Argued: March 16, 19, 20, and 21, 1917. ---
Restored to Docket for Reargument May 21, 1917.
Reargued Jan. 11, 14, and 15, 1918.
Decided May 20, 1918.
Suit to dissolve an asserted combination and conspiracy between certain companies, makers or dealers in boot and shoe machinery, and the officers of the companies; also to have declared illegal and canceled certain leases and agreements, charged to be the means of the combination and conspiracy whereby, through control over the manufacturers of boots and shoes, competition has been prevented, inventive genius subjected to the designs of the combiners and conspirators, and auxiliary machines and accessories controlled and made subsidiary.
The charges are met with denials, with justification that the conduct which is asserted to be illegal was in promotion of trade, in natural development of business and in strict compliance with modern trade progress; indeed, that there was simply the fusion of independent and noncompeting businesses, each differing from the other, and the combination of various elements of machinery covered by United States patents and all of it relating to the same art and the same school of manufactures. And that the leases and agreements were but the exercise of patent rights, wholly legal and indeed necessary.
These contentions are displayed in a bill which occupies 46 pages of the record and an answer of equal volume.
The statute of limitations is also pleaded in defense, the greater part of the acts charged being alleged to have taken place more than six years before the filing of the petition.
Three judges sat in the case, who heard the testimony in open court. Upon its completion and consideration a decree was entered dismissing the bill. Each judge rendered an opinion exhibiting the case from a different angle, and the opinions, taken together, display all the phases of the case and the considerations and issues involved, (D. C.) 222 Fed. 349.

# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 12/Separatist Trends encouraged by Theory of Personal Contract

Separatist Trends Encouraged by Theory of Personal Contract
260. The new concept encouraged separatist trends and obstructionist tactics in Princely quarters. Coupland comparing the attitude of the Princes with that of the Muslim League observed "but there can be no doubt that they (Princes) would insist quite as firmly on disrupting India rather than accept an all-India system of government which over-rode their rights and put them at the mercy of the Congress and the High Command". "Nor would it be" he went on to say, "reasonable on the British Government's part to rule that out". No wonder that fed on such theories, the Princes subscribed, even so late as the eve of the Cripps Mission, to the policy embodied in the following resolution unanimously adopted by the Chamber of Princes:—
"That this Chamber has repeatedly made it clear that any scheme to be acceptable to the States must effectively protect their rights, arising from the Treaties, Engagements, and Sanads or otherwise and ensure the future existence, sovereignty and autonomy of the States thereunder guaranteed and leave them complete freedom duly to discharge their obligations to the Crown and to their subjects; it therefore notes with ​particular satisfaction the reference in the announcement of the Prime Minister to the fulfilment of the Treaty obligations to the Indian States".
It would be wrong to assume that this resolution really represented the unanimous wishes of the Princes; it was only an indication of the complex which rendered it impossible for Princes to think of India freed from the foreign yoke, or of a constitutional relationship with the Government at the Centre in which the Crown did not find a place.
