In this action, which was of the same nature as
former, and brought against the Plaintiffs in it
by Mr, Atkinson, of Bishopsgate-street, only Pro.
prietor of Sandwell's Issue Misters, it appeared
that the Plaintiff, who was a relative of the original
inventor, had, for a number of years, continued to
sell them packed up in a small box, containing so
many as twelve dozen, lot which no more than one
shilling was paid.
Serjeant COCKLE, for the Plaintiff, dated, that his
client had by accident found out that the Defendant,
who had formerly given him very lutge orders far
his plaister, had for some years back discovered A
method of spreading a spurious kind of plainer,
something like in appearance to his plaister, that he
had packed it up in a box exafly like the box he
used, and that the dirietions on the paper which was
on the inside of the box, stated them to be SandwelPs
genuine issue plaisters, made and sold by G. P. At-
kinson, at the Plough and Harrow, Bishupsgate.
street, London. He said that this anion materially
differed from the former, as here there were yam-
vations of a very serious nature; that the Plaintirhad
always signed his name in his own hand writing, on
the inside of the 'idol the box ; drat the De!endants
had, contrary to everything that was Just and proper,
also signed C. P. Atkinson, on the inside of lid;
and that they were not content with the private fraud
committed on Mr. Atkinson, but they committed
another of a more public nature, by defrauding the
revenue of the stamp which ought to be on it. He
hoped from all these citcumstatoces, that this would
be considered a more flagrant injury, than that trid
in the last atiun, ari.l that the verdict would
prove it.
Several Witnesses were call nf, who proved that
they had bought boxes of Sandwell's issue plaister
at the Defendaat's house; that they were not of
the same quality as that prepared by the Plaintiff,
though the box and ifireetions w.re exatly the
same, and that the amid= of the boxes they had pur-
chased were signed G. P. Atkinson, but that the
writing was not at all I.ke.
Serjeant BEST stated the Dafendant's case, and
called James savers, warehouse-ke per to the De-
fendant, who deproerf, that there never had been
I male in the Defendant's house any of Sandwell's
Issue Plaister, but that they had always got them
ready packed up' in boxes from airs. Low, who
made not only that Lind, but every other kind of
Issue Plaister now in use, and that he never knew
that G. P. Atkinson was signet on the inside of the
lid, until one day that a gentleman come into the
shop for a box of Sandwell's Plainer, and asked if
it was signed by Mr. Atkinson ? that he then. foe
the first time, saw it was, and he immediately seat
those which remained on his hands back to flogs.

Serj. COCKLE spoke to evidence.
Mrs. Low deposed, that it was she made the
plaisters that were sold by the Plaintiffs, that she
put G. P. Atkinson on the inside of the lid by the
diredion of her husband, who was now abroad, and
that she bad always, till within these throe years, put
Atkinson and Co. at the inside of the boxes, having
obtained leave from a Mr. Joseph Atkinson, a‘pret-
sent, in Denmark.
Mr. Justice Ctaasiaac read over the evidence,
