• I,considerable
We learn, with h satisfaction, that an
English commercial bouse—t e spirited proprietors of
• les for the
some invaluable articles Toilet, have obtained a
I
verdict in a second trialbrought by them against
some
unprincipled Foreign manufacturers,
. who had counterfeited
their marks and '
their labels, and imitated signature. The
article particularly select ed for this
unprincipled design
was, we un
derstand, theirinimitable Macassar Oil, for
accelerating the grow _th of hair ; for which Messrs. Row-
land had obtained so extensive a celebrity, that, it appears,
the French twined the great monopolists of all articles
for the toilet, were compelled to acknowledge the supe-
riority of our countrymen, and to imitate the labels and
marks of the English inventors,. in order to dispose of
their own '• spurious imitations,.
A CURIOUS FACT. —lt has appeared in the
public papers that a bop-grower at Ash, near Canter-
bury, had sold seven acres fhops to a London factor for
o„ shilling, but it shou,n h
