THE REGISTERED PALETOT
CASE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sit,—ln a report published by most of the London
daily journals of the proceedings, before the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, on Saturday, June 12, we were de-
scribed as receiving the protection of the Court, in
respect to an infringement of our patented right to an
invention, and by an assumption of the title, by which it
has been publicly known.
From the great popularity we have attained by the
sale of the subject of the injunction a garment styled the
Registered Paletot of Llama cloth, it may be assumed
that the public will be somewhat interested with the
precise facts of the case.
It has already been described that when first intro-
ducing our invention we, with much care, selected a
name hitherto unknown in this country as tracing the
origin of the word Paletot, it was shown that it was de-
rived from the Greek, adopted by the Roman, and
afterwards by the French linguists, " Circumjicitur cor-
pori Pallium habitus L'irmcorum" by Bayley, thus
paThat letoque, or palleseote, a coat with sleeves.
we exercised due caution in selecting an unusual
name has, by the result of these recent proceedings in the
Court of Chancery, been fully proved. For such, unfortu-
nately, is the state of competition of trade, or the envy
of individuals engaged in it, that should eminent
patronage and success attend any member, in par-
ticular, he is immediately subjected to the like in-
jury of which we have had cause to complain.
Now, had we advertised our invention simply as a
new overcoat, it is more than probable that ere this we
should have been confounded with the many advertisers
that since our appearance before the public have as-
sumed a somewhat similar description to that which
from the first has been employed by us.
The defendant in this case being perhaps more con-
spicuous
than the rest, was first selected to be an example,
as we are now determined to enforce our rightful claim
to the originality (as far as regards the English lan-
guage) of the titled registered Paletot, of Llama cloth,
c
but yet being unwilling to proceed against those
who may have unguardedly used a similar title
without
wneotwifyouldthtbiserecoeurer
respectfully beg permission, throtigh the medium
of
y ou r first
givingcolumns,
them
now notice,
to e,
intention with regard to all present or future copyists.
For it would appear from the affidavits made by Messrs.
Dawbarn and Son, of Liverpool ; Messrs. Wareing and
Son, of Birmingham ; as also many of our other influ-
ential agents, that they have experienced equal inconve-
nience with ourselves, through so many tradesmen in
their neighbourhoods assuming the same or similar un-
authorised title to that of the Registered PaletOt of
Llama Cloth. It may be judicious here to explain, that
we believe that had a continuance of these unfair pro-
ceedings been allowed, we should have been seriously
injured should purchasers have been induced to believe
that these piracies were articles of our manufac-
ture, the moderate charge and excellence of which has
induced patronage, extending from the royal families
both here and on the continent, together with the prin-
cipal members of the court and the professions, as also
general favour with the great middle classes of this
country.
Being well aware of the interest taken by the press in
discouraging all grievous annoyances that may affect in-
dustrious energy, or deter persons with capital from de-
veloping any new manufacture, we unhesitatingly pre-
sent this matter to your readers, some of whom may
perhaps be on the point of introducing to the
public some patented improvement upon some
other article of highly useful, yet ordinary na-
ture, that they may be thus forewarned to select some
original or distinguishing title, otherwise so many merits
as the invention may possess over anything else of its
kind in existence, so many envious competitors will it
excite to use every means in their power, be they fair or
unfair, to share some portion of its fame, knowing well,
at the same time, that their false imitations are similar
only in name, and that they dare not actually infringe
the patent or design.
Trusting that you will esteem these remarks worthy
of insertion,
We have the honour to be,
Your obedient servants,
IL J. and D. NICOLL.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—We perceive that Mr.
Massingbam, the indefatigible and obliging box-book keeper
of the Princess's, will take his annual benefit at that theatre
to-morrow evening; we are sure his friends will rally around
him on the occasion, and that all who value a constant and
unceasing civility, and an anxious desire to render every one
within his department the greatest possible amount of ac-
commodation, will testify their sense of his uniform good
conduct.
HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—Mr. Henry Wylde,
one of the most promising members of the Society of British
Musicians, gave his annual concert yesterday morning, at
these rooms. Mr. Wylde, who is a pianist of very consider-
able merit, played an introduction and rondo of his own com-
position. He also performed Hummel's Betour de Londres
with vigour and brilliancy. In the first part of the concert,
Herr Joachim contributed Mendelssohn's violin concerto with
his usual felicitous skill, and in the second, one of Bach's
fugues, in which he was encored ; and vocalisms were sup-
plied by Madame Dorus Gras, the Misses Williams, the
Misses Pyne, Madame Macfarren, Pischek, and John Pr rry.
An excellent orchestra gave character and dignity to the en-
tertainment ; and the audience were consequently gratified
with a very good performance of Mozart's Jupiter symphony
and Beethoven's lidelio overture, besides a MS overture by
Mr. Wylde, which again developed his powers of instru-
mental composition very satisfactorily'. The rooms were well
attended.
DEATHS AMONG THE PRIESTNOOD.—The follow-
ing are the names of the six Roman Catholic priests of
Liverpool, and the chapels to which they respectively be-
longed, who died here within the last two months :—the
Rev. Mr. Nightingale, of St. Anthony's; the Rev. Mr.
Fisher and the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, both of St. Mary's ; the
Rev. Mr. Parker, of St. Patrick's; the Rev. Dr. Appleton,
of Seel-street: and the Rev.. Dr. Kelly, of St. Joseph's.
Prior to the influx of Irish paupers, there were, we under-
stand, 24 priests in Liverpool ; now their ranks, which will,
of course, be recruited from other places, have been thinned
to 18,—Liverpool dilbion.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

STATE VISIT OF THE QUEEN.-MDLLE.

JENNY LIND'S " NORMA."

Last evening stands pre-eminent as the most distin-
guished in the annals not only of this season, but of her
Majesty's Theatre. Her Majesty was pleased to com-
mand the performance of Mademoiselle Jenny Lind in
the opera of Norma, and, as is usual in cases of a direct
royal command, to visit the theatre in state. Within
twenty-four hours after the gracious intention of her
Majesty became known every place in the theatre
was taken, and some days since it was pub •
licly announced that no money could be taken
at the doors, as every ticket had been disposed
of. Before three o'clock crowds were assembled round
the doors in the Haymarket, and as the evening ad-
vanced the streets leading from Buckingham Palace to
the theatre were filled with persons anxious to get a
sight of the royal procession. Every window and every
balcony along the line of the procession was occupied.
Her Majesty was received with loud cheers as she passed
along, and when the trumpets and kettle-drums of the
Life Guards, a detachment of which regiment preceded
the royal carriage, announced the arrival of her Ma-
jesty at the theatre, the cheering was of the most enthu-
siastic character. Her Majesty reached the theatre at
eight o'clock, and was immediately conducted by Mr.
Lumley to the royal box, which, with the two adjoin-
ing boxes, were fitted up in the most tasteful
manner with canopies of crimson and gold, supported by
light golden shafts, and surmounted with a crown. As
soon as her Majesty and Prince Albert entered the
theatre the whole audience rose, and greeted their So-
vereign with shouts of welcome, which lasted for some
minutes. Her Majesty was attended by the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Duke of Norfolk, the Marchioness of
Douro, the Hon. Miss Kerr, the Earl Fortescue, the Earl
Spencer, the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon. Miss Ma-
tilda Paget, Viscountess Combermere, the Marquis of
Abercorn, Lady Caroline Cocks, Lord Byron, Viscount
Falkland, lion. Miss Macdonald, Hon. Miss Murray,
Lord G. Lennox. Lord Edward Howard, Lady Caroline
Barrington, Lord A. Paget, Col. the Hon. C. B. Phipps,
Lord Robert Grosvenor, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. Seymour,
Lord Marcus Hill, Colonel Smyth, Sir Edward Codring-
ton, Mr. Byng, Mr. Wortley, Sir W. Martins, Colonel
Green, and Captain Seymour. Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, who was also present, was accompanied by
their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar and his Serene High-
ness Prince Edward, attended by the Earl and Countess
Howe, Lady Clinton, Baron Beust, and Baron Ziegesar.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge, attended by the Baroness Hammerstein and
Baron Knesebeck, likewise occupied a box on the grand
tier; and his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Con-
stantine of Russia, attended by Vice-Admiral Lutke
Admiral Haurowiz, and Baron Fredeericks, was also
present.
The curtain then rose, and discovered the whole operatic
company assembled, and the national anthem com-
menced. All rose, and the appearance of the house was
dazzling—dazzling, physically dazzling—from the flash
of diamonds innumerable and of price not to be counted
—morally dazzling, from the qualities of the illustrious
personages there assembled ; for within that theatre
England's
