POE AND STAUNTON.—JUDGMENT.
Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case. His Lordship said
that this was a motion for a new trial, on the ground of misdiree.
tion. The action was originally brought against the defendant for
the infringement of a patent nipping lever, intended to sis
plify the turning of ships' windlasses. No question was raised
as to the utility of the invention. The Learned Judge on
the trial, in summing up, had told the jury that though the applies'
Lion was new the plaintiff did not claim the invention of the nip'
ping lever; and it was contended on the part of the defendant that
the old lever applied to a new purpose did not constitute a right
of patent, and his Lordship seemed to be also of this
opinion. Tn the present case the means for applying
the old invention to the new purpose was what sfir
termed a sliding box, and that being also a novel invention, the
Court was of opinion that the patent must be supported. TM
Learned Judge in the original case had told the jury that it sfr"
not necessary to inquire if the sliding box was a new invention, but
from this opinion the Court entirely dissented. They thought the
jury had been misdirected by the mode in which the ease had been
stated to them, and they were agreed therefore that the rule for a nen
trial should be made absolute, in consequence of the mode in which
the case had been put to the jury.
