AMENDMENT OF THE PATENT LAWS.

DEPUTATION TO SIR G. GREY.

Yesterday a deputation of the Patent Law Reform
L ague, appointed to present a petition to her liejesty,
agreed to at a public meeting called by the association, had
an interview with Sir G Grey at the Home.ofßc?, White-
hall. The deputation coctisted of Messrs. Canspin, Price,
Shepherd, Richard Waller, Townley, Mahon, and Ellis. Oa
the deputation being admitted,
Sir G. GREY said he ►aw there were reporters in the
room, and he should therefore not give any opinior, but
would hear what the deputation had to say, and as there was
a cabinet council to be h. Id that day, he would ask them if
they had anything to add to the stshmnents in the memorial
of the society to the Queen, and to the statements made in
the report of the committee to inquire into the Privy Seal
and 4/net office.

Mr. CAM PIN said he thought every one we+ prepared to
acknowledge that the recommend►tlons of that report would
go a great way. Whether they would satisfy all parties he
;mold not say. lie thought they did not go far enough, and
that the charge of 301. for an Eiglish patent would not meet
the cue. It MY obvious that something moot be done
speedily, otherwise perswts who had applied for space a: the
ensuing exhibition would not present their inventions.

Mr. kIEPHARD said therre were men praeticallTitwork
now at invention., and if inquiry were to be made he be-
lieved it would be found that all the recent improvements
that had been mad* in locomotive engines had originsted
with poor workmen who had worked out their idea in their
own house,, but in order to bring it before the worli they
had been obliged to place themselves in the bends of mita&
itt., who put them off with frfil. or 1004, while the
capitalist made perhaps his tens of thousands. If government
could assist inventors by placir g patents =we within their
reach, they would be doing them a great service. They did
not desire to get patents for nothing, but that they might
have provisional registration, so as to bring an invention be-
fore the public, and then get the patent for a low sum.

Mr. PRICE was satiefild not'only that a much greater
number of inventions would be brought before the public,
but that a great addition to the revenue would ther.by be
caused if the cost of patents were less. On account of the
great charge many were now kept back. Ile had had great
cup-Hence in this matter. He was secretary to • society
which was formed with the object of assisting poor in-
ventors, bet the society felt to the ground because they wen
not able to meet the very heavy charges for patents. It
the charge was reduced to a rearonable earn, we
should be better able to compete with foreigners, who got
patents cheap. This country was the only country which
made heavy eh eeeee on patents. In America the charge
was most insignificant.
Mr. LABOUCHE RE here came into the room, and
_ _

8k G. GREY said k would be better, as the matter wu
and r the consideration of government, that they should

confine themselves then to hearing communications. That
was better than discussing the matter there. As reporters
were in the room, be thought it better rot to express any
*pinion. Any statement that the deputation might make
they would tale into consideration afterwarde.
Mr. CAMPIN remarked that maims the government did
something, they would damp the ardour of those who were
preparing models for the Exhibition.
Mr. WALLER said he had three inventions now, but he
bad not the means to take out patents. Several years ago
he spent 1,0001. in making experiments and completing an
invention for the improvement of locomotive engin,s, and
5001. more in travelling and other expenses connected with it.
Ile applied for hie patent, and while the application was before
the office 151. wu wanted for some fees. lie expected& remit
tance, but he did not receive it on the day, and the consequence
wu that all his labour went for nothing. Several patents
had been taken out since, each comprising • part of that which
wee included in his invention, but he got nothing whatever.
Mr. LABOUCIIERE —Are lou connected with the
Society of Arts
Mr. CAMPIN—I am.

Mr. LABOUCHERS—I am aware the Society of Arta
bay. taken up the question, and I believe have appointed a
committee. I want to knew if you are represented by that
committee.

/4,7:6AiiP IN said he believed the Society of Arts were
only going into the rub! sot of the whole state of the law.
Mr. LABOUCHERE—Is not the committee preparing
definite suggestions for an alteration of the law?
Mr. CAMPIN—What we want is to get the expense of
the patent reduced, and also the preliminary registration at
no cost.

Mr. LABOUCHERE—Can you furnish to with your
complaints on piper ?
Mr. SHEPHARD—Our society has of itself no connexion
with the Society of Arts, but there are several societies in
Manchester and other parts of the country. In America a
patent costs only 61. or 71.
Mr. CAMPIN—The charge for a patent in A 0111671 is
30 dollars to an American. They hays a tariff of chime to
foreigners. To Englishmen they say, "As you charge 00
much for a patent in your own country we charge you 500
dollen." Other foreigners are charged 300 dollars.
Sir 0. GREY—You have stated in the memorial to the
Queen what your object is. Flare you anything additional
Se state

Mr. CA.MPIN—We wish something to be done speedily.
A thorough reformation of the law would take some time.
The great thing is to get the protection at such a cost as to be
within the means of the majority of tke inventors, whereas a
the present moment it is not.
Mr. TO WNLEY said he was an inventor, and was the
originator of this movement. He had got a few specimens
of his invention with him. (Mr. Townley here exhibited
some woven bracelets of human hair.) It was generally said
that the French were the only people who had any invention
in matters of taste. He was anxious to prove that that was
not so by exhibiting hie machine for weaving these fabrics.
But he could not do so without he had some protection for
his invention. The fact was, he was utterly precluded.
Sir G. GREY—You mean by the expense.
Mr. TOWNLEY—Yes ; a patent would cost 3001.
Sir G. GREY—The expense is no doubt large, but it IS
about 1001. .

Mr. CAMPIN.—We ars speaking of the expense for
Great Britain and 'rebind. It requires thrre patents, oae
for Borland, ono for Scotland, and another for Ireland.
Mr. TOWNLEY.—It would take a person a day or two
to wears these articles. (The bracelet' before referred to•)
I could =keg: of them in u many minutes, but I cannot
exhibit without I h►ve protection for my invention. It
would cost in. 101. to register it.
Sir G. OBEY.—WeII, I will communicate with Mr.
Latest/there. .

LatbUCHEME.—What you want is not so much a
general unsure of punt law u an immediate measure to
reduce the expenses.
Kr. CAMPIN. —The general question of patent law ia so
large that we should not be able to get an smendm.nt of the
plural law quickly.
Mr. LABOUCHERE. —Well, I shall be glad to receive
any written co-ununication from you statiog what you pre-
pose to accomplish your object.—Thedeputatioa then retired.

Tim PonsEt BALL.—Yesterday the Polish cold-
mitts. aasembled at the Guildhall, for the purpcse of making
additional arrangements to carry into effect the Ball, which
is fired for Thursday next, the 14th instant. Mr. Bunt?*
the City architect, was, it war stated, occupied in rendering
Mill more magnificent, than former balls in the Guildhall Pi'
seated, the Italian Conservatory and the drawing•rooms; end
Mr. Carew, Mr. Marshall, and Kr. Weeks have, upon the ap-
plies/lon of Lord Dailey Btuart, consented to lea* their spe-
cisme of statuary in the hell until the day after the esur-
Manumit shall hay* tersniaated. The committee decided
that the floor of the Guildhall should be chalk d in so alight
