The Use of Trade Marks.

Yesterday, at the Lancaster Police-court, Chris-
topher Fothergill, a hop and vinegar merchant, of
that town, was charged with falsely and knowingly
using upon a cask of vinegar the trade mark of
Mmerchants,ess rs.ilill,EOrs'and Co., British wine and vine-
gar Worcester. It appears that, from
information received in Manchester by Mr. Neshan,
a clerk of the prosecutors, he visited the Boardsley
Station at Birmingham, and in a truck saw five
casks bearing the prosecutors' brand, " E. 11. and
Co., Worcester," as well as the number of each cask,
and a capital letter indicating the quality of the

contents. Each cask had on it a card bearing the
address of defendant, and an intimation that it was

proceeded to Lancaster, and having ascertained that
the casks had arrived there, he placed himself in
communication with Mr. Black, an innkeeper, and
recently an inspector in the Lancaster police force.
Mr. Black waited upon the defendant and asked if
ho had got any of the prosecutors' vinegar for sale.
Defendant at first said he was without any, but
that he could get some in a day or two. Black told
him that he should like to have it at once, where-
upon defendant said, " Oh, by the bye, I have got
some in the warehouse, which came in yesterday,"
and he instructed his man to let Black taste it.

Having done so, Black ordered a cask of the vinegar,
which was delivered the same day. The vinegar
which was in one of the casks Mr. Nesham had seen
at Birmingham was sold at 1,2 4s. 4d., being at the
rate of ls. 41 per gallon. For the defence it was
contended that the brand upon the cask merely de-
noted to whom it belonged, and was not intended
as a trade mark within the meaning of the act. It
was shown, however, that whenever the prosecutors
received casks to be filled bearing other firms' ini-
tials they obtained authority from the parties to
destroy the brand before sending out any
vinegar
in them. After a lengthy investigation the Bench
decided to convict defendant in a penalty of 10s.,
and £4 9s. costs, and, in addition, ordered him toue of the v

INTERNATIONAL NAVAL Co URTESIES.—" The

the occasion of a manifestation of fraternal cordiality
between the two navies, has," says the Inclependance

they seem still to believe in tho eternal duration of national
ill-feeling. This visit has just bad its counterpart in the
appearance of the Swedish squadron on the shores of Fin-
land on its way to Cronstadt. Tho Swedish officers
received from the Russian authorities of Ilelsingfors the
most friendly reception. In a banquet given them by
CountVallon, the governor of the province, the latter gave
as a toast tho Swedish-Norwegian nation, 'from which,'
he added, 'Finland has inherited a civilisation of which
she is proud.' Ile also stated that, 'since the commence-
ment of the Russian rule in Finland, the Swedish language
and form of government have spread iu the country
beyond the limits to which they formerly extended, thanks
to the just and enlightened manner iu which Russia had
acted towards the province.' "
THE HEIR TO THE THRONE OF JAPAN.—The
Tycoon of Japan, who is childless, has decided, in accord
with the chief Daimios, that his younger brother, Prince
Min-Bou-Taiou,
now in Paris, shall be declared his legal
successor. In order that this heir to the Japanese throne
should receive an education suitablo to his high position
the Tycoon has requested tho Emperor Napoleon to ap-
point a governor for him, whose duty will be to direct his
studios during the four years which the Prince is to pass
in France. The Emperor, acceding to that desire, has
named Lieutenant-Colonel Vilotte, of the staff, aide-do-
camp to the Minister of War, to be governor of the
Prince.
