CaOLL o 'COOL—Amos 101 AN ALLIOID IMPZINOI-
- OP • PAINS!.
Mr. Justice Mauls said this was an action upon the ease
for an infringement of • patent, described In the specifica-
tion as " improvements for making gas and in the apparatus
used in transmitting and measuring it." The detenoant had
put several pleas upon the record, and amongst others a plea
setting forth that the eptcifieation had referent:* to another
and differvot invention from that for which • patent had beta
.tinted to the plaintiff. There was also& plea non conosseit put
upon the record by the defendant. The ease was tri d belore
Chief Justice Wilde, when • verdict was for the defendant.
A rule nisi for a new trial had been granted. and the whole
question now turned upon the specification. It appeared
that the patent was granted for improvements in making
gas, and in the apparatus used in transmitting sad measur-
ing, but the specification used did not contain the word
" therein." No specification in the some words as those
used by the plaintiff had been found to be enrolled, but the
specification of the defendant was in almost the same
words, the only difference being the use of the word
" therein." The alteration was only very sight, but it had
the effect of extending the subject which was granted by
the patent. The patent of the defendant, es re-
presented in the specification, was for two dis-
tinct things—namely, for improvements in making
gas, and in the apparatus used in transmitting and
measuring the gas. When the body of the plaintiff's speci-
fication was looked at, it appeared that the patent had been
granted to him for improvements in making gas, and for the
apparatus used in measuring and transmitting, but the
plaintiff did not claim a patent foe the apparatus by which
the gas was to be made, which the defendant did, but only
' foe the apparatus by which it was to be transmitted and
measured. The plaintiff had obtained • patent for improve•
r meats in the apparatus in making, as well ea trans-
mitting gas, but had omitted properly to specify in
hie specification the invention for which he had obtained
patent but had specified another and different invention. The
defendant, on his sixth plea was entitled to have the rule
nisi for • new trial, which bad been granted discharged.
Rule discharged accordingly.

The Attorney-General, Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Montague
Smith, and Mr. Grove, were counsel for the plaintiffs; and
Mr. Cockburn, QC., Mr. Webster, and Mr. Chance,
appeared for the defendants.
This action was commenced on Thursday last, and was
one of three brought by the Electric Telegraph Company,
who ware the proprietors of Mean. Cooke and Wheatstone's
patent for communicating signals by means of the slicing
telegraph, against the defendants, WI two first of whom,
Messrs. Brett and Little, were the patentees of the system of
telegraphic communication now in use on the railway lines.
The plaintiffs sought to recover compensation in damages
from the defendants for an alleged infringement ef the
patent of which they were the proprietors, and which
Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone had taken out so far back as
the year 1837.
The plaintiffs' patent was described in the specifier
tine as " improvements in giving signals and sounding
slams in distant places by Mani of electric currents
transmitted through metallic circles." It would tis
impossible without diagrams to give an intelligi-
ble account of the different infringements com-
plained of by the plaintiffs; it is sufficient to observe that
the plaintiffs stated that their patent had been infringed in
five particulars: and to prove their case the principal wit-
nevus called were the engineer to the Telegraph Company,
Mr. Cerpmeal, Professor Fury, Professor Cowper, and Dr.
Miller, professor of chemistry at King's College. These
gentlemen all gave it cs their opinion that the defendants had
infringed the patent of the plaintiffs.
At the conclusion of the plaintiffs' case on Friday after-
noon, Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Webster took several (Nee.
tions to it on behalf of the defendant+, and submitted that
the plaintiffs must be nonsuited,
The Lord Chief Justine said he would mum for the de-
fendants leave to enter a nonsuit ; for, if they wished to carry
the nos to a higher tribunal, they could tender a bill of ex-
ceptions to his summing up.

Mr. Cockburn then addressed the jury, and the court ad-
journed till Saturday morning.
At the sitting of the court on Saturday morning, the defen:
dant, proceeded to call evidence. The two first mummies were
Mr. Bain, the inventor of an electric clock, of an electric
printing telegraph, and who had also, in 1843, taken out a
patent for communicating signals by the electric telegraph ;
and Mr. Highton, one of the chief engineers of the North
Western Railway Company. These gentlemen were both
of opinion that the patent of the defendante differed mate-
rially from that belonging to the company, and that the
rights of the company had been in no way infringed upon.
They also stated that the patent of the defendants waen great
improvement upon that of the company, as by the latter five
wires and five needles were required for indicating twenty
letters only, while by the former the whole alphabet could
be shown by the ure of a single wire and a single needle, the
earth being used to complete the circuit. The cross-eurni.
nation of Mr. Bain occupied four hours' but unless the
reader had models before him, it would be uspoesible for
him to understand the nature of the answers given by that
gentleman to the questions put to him. Tile examination in

At the sitting of the court on Monday morning, the exa-
mination in chief of Mr. Hight= was continued. He was
then eross-examined at great length, after which a Mr.
&ashler was called, who merely stated that he went to
Whitaker's, when he saw the patent of the defendants
in use.
The Attorney-General then replied upon the whole cue.
Ti. Lind Chief Julies then summed up, and said
the gentles for the jury was, whether the pa-
tine of the defendants, which wee worked with Gas
glee and one midi! was an infringement of
Ithe palest of the plaintiffs, which was worked with five
lwren end Ave needles, although in same cases a lass number

alleged infringements of their patent of which the plaintiffs
complained.
The jury then retired, and after an absence from enure for
a considerable time, returned with a verdict—Four material
points being given by the jury in favour et the defendants,
and two in favour of the plaintiffs, a verdict was taken by
consent for the plaintiffs, with nominal damages, so as to
enable a final decision to be come to by the full court.
