with me whether the only faii..-course towards your bondholders
is not to gather up the unexpended portion of their funds, and
call for their instructions how further to apply them.

" It must not be forgotten that the poifion of those funds
most beyond your reach is that which your present chairman,
then your law-clerk, sanctioned the first batch of commissioners
in lending to the township on a postponed security of township
property, and which I deeply lament I was not aware of before
vonr commission. for no (minion of its ultimate

security can justify the transaction.
"This proceeding is the chief obstacle to the fulfilment of the
only one of the requirements which it appears to me you ought
to entertain, even if it had not been relinquished at an earlier
stage, when the bills were under the charge of your late chair-
man. _

771 believe the best course you can now pursue is to rescind
the resolution passed on the 28th ult., on Insufficient informa-
tion, and to authorize your deputation to press the bills by
every possible means.

From the great p.opularity/e have attained by the sale of the
subject of the injunction a garment styled the Registered
Paletot, of Llama Clotht may be assumed that the public will
be somewhat interested4rith the precise facts of the case.
It has already been described, that, when first introducing

thus, paletoqe.or rallescote, a coat viith sleeves.
That we exercised due caution in acrectit?s an unusual name
has, by the result of these recent proceedings in the Court of
Chancery, been fully proved. For such, unfortunately, is the
state of competition of trade, or the envy of individuals engaged
in it, that, should eminent patronage and success attend any
member in particular, he is immediately subjected to the like
injury of which we have had cause to complain. Now, had we
advertised our invention simply as a new overcoat, it is more
than probable that, ere this, we should have been confounded
with the many advertisers that since our appearance before the
public have assumed a somewhat similar description to that
which from the first has been employed by us.
The defendant in this case, being perhaps more conspicuous
than the rest, was first selected to be an example, as we are now
determined to enforce our rightful claim to the originality (as
far as regards the English language) of the title Registered
Paletot of Llama Cloth ; but yet being unwilling to proceed
against those who may have unguardedly used a similar title
without first giving them notice. We would, therefore, respect-
fully beg permission, through the medium of your columns,
now to notify this our intention with regard to all present or
future copyists; for it would appear, from the affidavits made
by Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, of Liverpool, Messrs. Waring
and Son, of Birmingham, as, also, many of our other influential
agents, that they have experienced equal inconvenience with
ourselves through so many tradesmen in their neighbourhood
assuming the same, or a similar unauthorized, title to that of
the Registered Paletot of Llama Cloth., It may be judicious

here to explain, that we believe that, had a continuance of these
unfair proceedings been allowed, we should have been seriously
injured should purchasers have been induced to believe that
these piracies were articles of our manufacture, the moderate
charge and excellence of which has induced patronage, extend-
ing from the Royal families, both here and on the continent,
together with the principal members of the court and the pro-
fessions, as, also, general favour with the great middle classes

of this country. _____
Being well aware of the interest taken by the press in discou-
, all grievous annoyances that may affect industrious
energy or deter persons with capital from developing any new
manufacture. we unhesitatingly present this matter to the
notice of your readers, some of whom may, perham be on the
point of introducing to the public some patent improve-
ment upon some other article of highly useful, yet ordinary,
that they may be thus forewarned to select some
title. Otherwise, so many merits as

attention, and yet their actual state is so little understood,
