PATENT RIGHTS.
BILEN-rom C. HAWKE,.

The SOLICI I'OR-GLNERAL ironed the Court rot
rule to shew Cause why a new trial should not be
had in this case, on the ground o the absencr of
a material witness at the trial, end a surprise nn
tile particular point, which ultimately went to the
Jury, and on whirls they found a Vetting. 'nil*
cause was tried at the last Sittings after Term,
before the Lord Chief Justice Abbott and • :Spe-
cial Ju►y, and was au action fur jar-mein! a patent
which ih• Plaimilf hail obtained fur certain im-
provements in the comoruction or chitin cables for
mooring ships, and also for improvethents in
anchors and windlasses. The infringement Coin-
plisined of was in the Defendant manufacturing
similar chain cables to those which were isteoreil to
the Plaintiff by his !latent. The Jury found a Ver.
diet for the Pliintiff. Mr. Sohcitur•Ceneral now
slated, that the Di fendant had a inairtgal
named Brow n, who was absent at Bury, ut the
time of the trial, and on recount of whose absence
he had wished to have had it put off, but. his Lord-
ship would not accede In his wishes, on the ground
that the witness had not been subpoemed in time.
lie bad now an affidavit which stated that the
stsbinonts was served on Captain at Bury,
en the Molidaiy preceding the Thursday on which
the trial took place, and its time for his attendance,
but lie was prevented attending by indisposition.
The COURT having some doubt as to the ques-
tion Of costa.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, he would just
state the points on which be intended to rely, with-
out entering into any argument upon them. The
patent chain consisted of links formed with a stay,
to prevent the ►ides collapsing, and the question at
the trial at last resolved itself into the mode of
fixing that stay to the link, and on this point the
Defendant was surprised; but they had since found
that the slays were secured iii the patent cable, in
the same way as in links used for a similar purpose
long before the patent was granted. Another point
regarded the constinetion of the anchors. the im-
provernent on which was specified to be in the mode
or fastening the fluke to the shank, but the Defend-
ant contended that mushroom anclinis bad beets so
emistructed long before, and the model winch his
Learned Friend (Mr. Scarlett) had exhibited at
the trial was inconsistent with the anchors made by
the patentee, in which there was, in fact, no novelty
whatever.

The. SoLICITOR-GENERAL continued, that sup.
liming they etahlislied this fact, of the alleged im-
provement in the anchors not bring new, a very
important point would arit,e. As the Plaintiff had in.
eluded three improvements in one patent, whether,
if they could %hew that one was not new, the whole
patent would not be vitiated ? This, as far as he
knew, was a new point, as it regarded patent rights,
and wss, he thought, a very important question.
Rule granted, on payment of costs.
LANCEV T. LANCET ♦ND OTHERS.

This was an action for false imprisonment on the
groom, of billowy. The Plaintiff was sister to the
Defendant, and the cause was tried before the
Lord Chief Justice Abbott at Westminster, the
last Sietiogs after Term. The Jury found a verdict
lor the Defelidants.

Mr. EVANS now moved for a new trial, ou three
grounds-Ist, Misdirection on the part of the
Learned Judge who tried the came—eilly„ Tnat
the verdict• was contrary to evidence—and &ll'',
That the witness, Mrs. liolderness, had given tes-
timony contrary to what they had expected front
her previous declarations. The only witness who
had spoken to the lunacy (Mrs. liolderness)
said that the Plaintiff told her that she heard voices,
and that at times she was compelled to answer.
This, lie contended was no more than the Methodists
pretended they heard every day, sod it was no
more 88 instance of marlottiJ than a very ugly woman
fancying all the world were in love with her : ut
short, if such were to be considered as proofs of in-
rattily, one half the world would be employed in
coetileing the other.
The CovIIT decided against him on all the points,
and the rule was refused.
