LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, JUNE 6.
FELTON V. GREAVES AND ANOTHER.
This action was brought to recover damages foi
the breach of a patent for sharpening knives, razors,
and scissors. It appeared that in June, 1P27, the
plaintiff took out a patent for a machine, which was
stated in the specification to be for sharpening
knives, scisAors, and other cutting instruments, by
passing their edges backwards and forwards in the
!Logle formed by two files or other suitable surface.
In another place the files were described as two
grooved rollers; but in no part of the specification
was it denoted that for the sharpening of scissors (h.
instrument should consist of two rollers, unlike each
other.

Lord TENTERDEN declared, that the evidence not
agreeing with the specification was fatal to the

action.

The plaintiff was then called.
WEALE AND OTHERS V. LADY GRESLEY.

by consent for 1424

"The acceptance of the defendant having been
proved,:and there being no defence, a verdict was
taken for the plaintiff for the amount of the bill, with
interest since it became due.
