SHIP PROPELLER COMPANY.

ERRATUM.

In the short conversation which took place in
the House of Commons on Monday evening on the
second reading of the Ship Propeller Company's
Bill, we regret that the observations of Mr. Bro-
therton were most indistinctly heard in the gallery.
We believe the following to be a more accurate sum-
mary of what fell from the Hon. Member than the re-
port published :
Mr. CAY LEY moved the second reading of the
Ship Propelling Company's Bill.
Mr. BROTHERTON opposed the second reading
of the Bill, considering it to be a measure that was
extremely injurious to a most worthy individual. The
short facts of the case were these, about five years ago
letters patent were obtained by a gentleman named
Bennet Woodcraft, for an invention of which the object
of the present Bill was to deprive him. It was impor-
tant, therefore, that the House should not lend its sane-

tion to a Company having such an object, The inven-
tion, for which Mr. Smith had obtained a patent, was
precisely the same as that which had been patented by
Charles Cameron about ten years ago, and it would
therefore be impossible to support the validity of Smith's
patent. Under such circumstances, looking upon the
Bill as a means for upholding an invalid patent he should
move that it be read a second time that day three
months.
Mr. CAYLEY had no connection whatever with the
Company, and scarcely knew if the Bill had been placed
in his hands. The House had probably already heard
of the application of the Archimedian screw to steam-
vessels, which he understood had been investigated by
many naval men, and the Board of Admiralty, who had
all expressed themselves favourably of the invention.
It did not interfere in any way with Mr. Woodcroft's
patent, and even if it did, the House was no tribunal to
try the merits of the two inventions. Parties had sub-
scribed a large sum for the purpose of obtaining the
present Bill and establishing a Company, and if there
was any undue interference with Air. Woodcroft's pa-
tent he had his remedy in another Court.—(Hear.)
Sir C. BURRELL supported the Bill. He be-
lieved the invention would be a great improvement in
the navigation of the river, as by it all swell was done
away with, and the consequent danger to small craft, and
loss of life, avoided. He did not profess to know much
about the invention, but from what he had heard of it he
had no doubt it would be found to be a decided im-
provement upon the present system.
Mr. BROTHERTO N said he would be prepared to
prove (if the House allowed him) that the present plan
was inferior to that of Mr. Woodcroft, and that the
Lords of the Admiralty had given Mr. Woodcroft a
written opinion that they considered his invention an
" ingenious improvement" upon the screw propeller.
Mr. BENETT contended that the House had no-

thing to do with the merits of rival patents. lie under-
stood that there were two patents existing for the appli-
cation of the Archimedian screw to steam-vessels. The
present Company had purchased the other, and rejected
Mr. Woodcroft's patent, and hence the opposition of
that gentleman to the present Bill.
Mr. BROTHERTON said he was instructed by
Mr. Woodcroft to say that his patent had never been
offered to the Ship Propeller Company.
Captain A'COURT eulogized the invention of Mr.
Smith, and supported the Bill.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the Bill
read a second time, and ordered to be committed.

In the Common Pleas, in the case of Oakley
v. Cloud, the jury found a verdict for the defendant_.

Damages, One Farthing.
Mr. Pease, M.P., was obliged to leave his Par-
liamentary duties, on account of the alarming illness of his
brother, Mr. Edward Pease, whose decease has since taken
place.—Durham Chronicle.
