EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DA
(Sittings in London after Term, before the LOP
BARON and a Special Jury.)
BLACK V. STEING.
This was an action on the case toIN recover damages for All
01,
infringement of a patent, to which the defendant hat'
thatTh he was not guilty. et
_t
e Solicitor-General, Mr. Martin, and Mr. we'tk
peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jervis. Mr. Peag°e"' o
Mr. Pollock for the defendant. 10,
The plaintiff was the secretary of a company /4,iisir,
purchased a patent, granted to Mr. Smith, for discos ifellll,l
new and original mode of applying the principle of °I",
known Archimedean screw to the propulsion of stet,. Po
other ships, and it was to recover damages (
violation of this toatent that the present act'°- t)„`
brought. Mr. Smith was the first to discoYerft
the Archimedean screw could be made available as
peller placed in the dead wood of a ship, and the (1'5,-3 eel
has long been considered of great value and importastoit
so far as it possessed greater advantages than the 9,„Y, 111„0`)
propulsion by paddle-wheels. For instance, it g3' orti
room for stowage, obviated the-necessity of havifig;,Li
of the paddles above the surface of the water, fiTI, 11,00 e row,
respects rendered a steam-vessel more adapted to
poses of war and commerce. The defendant, who Vi 91,5 dif t°,l
gineer at Woolwich, has applied the principle of the
several of her Majesty's vessels in the same manner 'to P,
specified in Smith's patent, and plaintif now sought oprl
cover damages for the injury he had sustained by this
f
priation of the invention.tb
For the defence, it was urged that the inventioil:ecooll
screw itself being of great antiquity, it had long 4°l'oti
the common property of the world, and had been 11400
to time applied as a motive power for the pro01,;;11016;,,
vessels, raising of water out of wells, and the accomP,", gre''
of other objects. It was contended, moreover, that a`iii`),ll
fication of Mr. Smith's invention was vague and inhout
and on] many occasions had been deviated from Wit"
being'properly amended.
The case occupied the Court the whole of yesterdk
to-day, and had not concluded when our report left.
