OTHIENS.-ACTION Vol LX ALLZOID INFAINOININT OP

♦ iiTINT:

The Attorney-General, Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Montague
Smith, and Mr. Grove, were counsel for the plaintiffs, and
Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Webster, and Mr. Chance, op.
peered for the defendants.
This action was commenced on Thursday last, and was one
of three brought by the Electric Telegraph Company, who
were the proprietors of Messrs. Cooke and Wheatatone's
patent for communicating signals by means of the electric
telegraph, against the defendants, the two first of whom,
Means. Brett and Little, were the patentees of the system of
telegraphic communication now in use on the railway lines.
The plaintiffs sought to recover compenastion in damages
from the defendants for en alleged infringement of the
patent of which they were the proprietors, and which Messrs.
Cooke and Wheatstone bad taken out so far back as the
year 1837-
- The plaintiffs' patent was described in the apecilleation as
" improvements in giving signals and sounding alarms in
distant places by moans of electric currents transmitted
through metallic circles " It would be ispossible without
diagrams to give an intelligible account of the different ia-
&topmost' complained of by the plaintiffs ; it is 'ancient
to obreves that the plaintiffs stated- that their patent had
been Infringed in five particulars; and to prove their ewe
the principal wineries called were the engineer to the
; Telegraph Company, Mr. Carpmeal, Professor Fam, and
; Dr. Miller, professor of chemistry at King's College. These
gentlemen all gave it as their opinion that the defendants
; had infringed the patent of the plaintiffs.
r At the conclusion of the plaintiffs' ease on Friday after-
noon, Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Webetertook several objection.
to it on behalf of the defendants, and submitted that the
• platatitle awl be unsuited.
