nukes Mrs. &venison continued to pay her atom-
, ity, she had the means of compelling her.
The LORD CHANCELLOR obtrrirril. that here it
was alleged a nice months' was passed fur a revels
months' child, which was not an easy matter.
Mr. HART raid, the next affidavit. was that of
Mr. Fitzsimmons, the surgeon.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" That is a very
honest gentleman, and must not be forgotten ; is he
still living ?"
Mr. HART replied in the affirmative, and thst •
he was not there to defend or to arraign the coo.
duct of any one, but merely to state the contents
of the affidavit committed to him. This affidavit
corroborated the statement .of all the preceding
ones. The deponent stated, he knew Mrs Eliza.- •
beth S?arginson while she lived iii Liffey-street ;
that hr attended and delivered her of children iu
1805 and 1806. and was called on to Mites's! at her
pretended accuucheinesit in 1807. Mrs. Seargiu.-
con and Mrs. Gibson described the itopie ience ma.
eifested by Colonel Searginvon at her waist of chil-
dren to him.—[The affidavit then described the
circumstances alleged to have occurred at Aungier.
street.]--Deponent visited Mrs. Seurginaon during
the time of her supposed pregnancy, and she had
no appearance of it that year.
The affidavit next in order, was one in answer by
W. Sewell, a party to the case at present, but nut
to the original bill. The effect of it was confined to
a general affirmation, resting on the circumstances
of the imposition said to have been practi.ell. The
affidavit to which he hail next to advert, was that
of Mrs. Searginson, which alleged the falsehood of
the whole of the statements on the opposite side. It
stated, that she was pregnant mud d. livered of a fe-
male child, which had been bapii.ed wider the
name of Colonel Seorginson. It accomited fur the
pnymesit of the annuity to Eleanor Cunningham
from motives of charity, and the dying requtst of
her former husband, Dan. Joe. Cronin.
Mr. HART here expressed a wish that his Lord.
ship would allow him to have a new affidavit made
to eetabli.li the falsehood of every m.sterial state-
ment by Mrs. Seoritioson. and to corteet the alle-
gations of her affidavit by her own letters to Belly
Cunningham.
Mr. WINGFIELD said, that any deficiency in the
affidavits ought to have beets supplied bellire the
case was entered into.
The LORD CHANCRLLOR asked how could it be
competent to hito to read affidavits, all made and
0,0111 before the Masters of Chancery iu Ireland,
and headed only " in Chancery: ?"
Mr. WINOFIELD observed, it was material fur
his Lordship to recollect, that all these partial were
now in England.
Mr. BLARE said, he was not in the cave; but
having knower something of affidavits of this sort.
he merely begged to suggest. that in two or three
cases it had been ruled that affidavits before the
Masters in Ireland were good. provided they were
headed " Before the High Court of Chancery iu
England."
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that had not
bees, done here. mod therefore the affidavits could
nut be received. There was an end of this motion.
Mr. HART wished to have leave to get the
affidavits WWI
Mr. WittoFteLo could not see the object of
doing it at this late season of the year.
The LORD CHANCELLOR decided that all fee•
ther proceeding's should be postiremed till the meet-
ing of the Court after the recess, cud reserved the

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, that an

Plaintiff, who had obtained a patent for the sole
inaitufacturkg and disposing of such iii-trunsents.
The patent described the invention to be one for
causing the explosion of gunpowder by percussion,
without fire or flint, by inn% a 1• g composed
of a mixture of oxymurin is salt, or other mate-
rials. with common gunpowder. or ful 11l i l Doing

forth the invention to be.one extremely advantage-

made by the Defendant were on precisely the same ,
principle as those constructed I.y Mr. Riviera, I
against whom the Plaintiff hid some time ago
brought au notion for piracy, and obtained a ver- j
diet in the Court of King's Bench.
Mr. 11011,11 t. in reply, contended that the Plaintiff
was not entitled to such protection of the Comet, ;
on account of the obscurity and atninguity of his
specification. support of his opinion he quoted
▪ case from 14 Fesey. 130. and that of Tartor and
Winter. in the first volume of the Term Reports.
In the bitter Mr. Justice Buller hail laid it down
that it was necessary the specification should he
given in the clearest and soot unequivocal terms,
SO that a num of science might be able to produce
the thing intended without being obliged to notice
experiments, sod that any ambiguity in tie de-
scription of the invention rendered the patent void.
