COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Mr. Jußtic°
Coleridge, Mr, Justice Erie, and Mr. Justice Civil'

ton.)

Lord Stanley, the newly appointed President of tb
Board of Control, attended the Court this morning, all'
was sworn in before Mr. Justice Coleridge as a
Councillor.

THOMAS V. YOXITELL.
This was an action for the infringement of a Patent
for the construction of sewing machines. This, and
other cases of a similar character, have occupied the
time of the Court for a considerable period.
Lord Campbell this morning delivered the judging!f
of the Court. Their lordships were of opinion that the
rule in this case ought to be made absolute for entering,
a non-suit on the ground that combination in the soot*
clause in the plaintiff's specification was not new at the
date of his patent, and that it was included in Fisher
and Gibbon's prior right of 1844. Should the Court, on
demurrer, set aside their judgment for a non-eui4
the rule would bo for a new trial, the costs in the fire/
action to abide the result of the second trial.
SCRIVBNOR V. REED—LILPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.

This was a demurrer. An action had been brae"
by the plaintiff against the defendant, a publican, for
forcing him out of his house. The defendant bad
pleaded in justification, and it was averred that 00
plaintiff would not go down stairs when requested, and
that, as his presence in the room was an annoyance
the guests therein, ha was forced out.

Mr. Metcalfe was heard in support of the demurrer.
The Court were unanimously of opinion that jecit
ment should be for the defendant. A. guest in a public'
house or an hotel had no right to demand the use of
particular rooms in an inn to the annoyance of other
guests. Ile was not to wander over the premises and
locate himself where he pleased, but confine himself
that part of the house where the landlord had provided
accommodation for him. In this case the plea 17,68
good and the judgment of the Court was for the °el
fendant.
Judgment accordingly.
