Via term Sittings et Nisi Prius at Weetmbestan—(l3•fore
Lord Chief Jamie. Cockburn and a Special Jury.)

CLALE T. THE QUEEf.—rrrnioN OP NIGHT.
The further hearing of this ease was resumed this morning.
Mr. Higby Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Delman, Q.C., Mr. Web-
stet Mr. Russell, and Mr. Beet, were counsel for the sup-
pliant; the Attorney-General; Mr. Collier, Q.C., Mr. Lush,
Mr. West, and Mr. WHory, were counsel for the
crown.
. suppliant was further cross-examined by the At•
wraay.t)eneral on the minute details of his complete sped.
~oation and the models sent in by him to the Lords of the
Admiralty. He said he was aware of the construction of
Warrior before be saw the sectional model of the
Warrior in court yeatarday. The inner plates of the
Warrior were not flanged nor joined together by
means of a flange, .as shown in hi models sent
is to the Admiralty. The longitudinal and vet,
IA framing was what he complained of. He
6.1 not see the Warrior in the course of construction, but
he did the Residence. He did not know if the inner plates
overlapped and were united or fastened one to another by
poets or bolts. He did not describe in his specification the
f:sntiog inside and out.
The Lord Chief Justice said it was difficult to ascertain
horn the specification what was claimed as the invention.
The suppliant did not appear to claim the particular frame-
work or skeleton, but the mode in which the plates were
Waned.

the suppliant was cross-examined at tome length on this
roint, but without much effect. His mode of securing
isak or timber to the external framing had been infringed
is the longitudinal framing on the outside of the inner
sin of the Warrior. The suppliant complained that the
aktional model produced by the Admiralty for the pur-
pie of the trial differed materially from the model at the
Admiralty.

The Lo-rd Chief Justice said he understood the model
IA been adepted by the suppliant for the purposes of the

The suppliant was being crors-examined as to the alleged
Cfnegernent of his patent in the construction of the noon
dam Warrior by the use of H or I iron.
The Lord Chief Justice said he thought it was anti
to go on with this cross-examination, as no evidence
been given by the suppliant in support of that part of his
alleged infringement.
Suppliant said the tonguing and grooving adopted in the
Warrior differed from his plan. (The Attorney-General
then called the suppliant's attention to the patents of which
he had bad notice that anticipated his invention.) Suppliant
1821 Dickinson's patent for the construction of iron
Clips was registered. That patent described the use of
non plates flanged by turned up aides, and attached to
soh other by that means ; vertical strips or bars were dr
scribed in it, sad it showed timber between two thickumees of
metal, one iron and the otbercopper. The object of the intro-
duction of wood between the two plates of metal, was the
tatter to resist shot.

The Lord Chief Justice—Where do you state that in your
'pacification ?
Suppliant—lt is not there.
The Lord Chief Justice—We have only to deal with
what is there stated. You only assume It.
Suppliant was then examined with reference to Guppy's
patent for longitudinal and vertical framing, sad Tack's patent
for using timber between two thicknesses of metal to ye-
ast shot. He said there was no tnmtng in that palest.
The skins were held together with "sinks iron," like a
bandbox with feathers. Boydell'a, jun.. patent, 1846, for
improvements in ship-bnildieg, ke., refers to the use of
timber between two thicknesses of metal—copper and iron.
He had sot seas the Heusi bridge. The first time he saw
the drawings was at the Admiralty. He did not find lon-
gitudinal or vertical framing used in the con-
'traction of that bridge. There was some engie
iron used. It was not substantially the elms cos-
struction in the bridge sad the Warrior. The latter was a
longitudinal and vertical combination in the skeleton, for
tie guirpoes of attaching the *tea Imo plates were need
is the coastrootioa of the Yeast Bridge. They hold the
framework. If the plates were taken away the bars of the
framework of the Midge would fall to parlors.
