LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, JULY 1.
THE KING IL DOORMAN.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, On the part of the
Prosecutor, stated, that his Client was a respectable
Merchant of the name of Aldous. The Defendant
was also a Merchant, and from his name, his out-
rageous conduct, and gross violation of the law, he
had supposed was a foreigner, till informed to the
contrary. It appeared that some disagreement had
arisen between these Gentlemen respecting some
commercial concerns, and to such a height had the
anger of the Defendant risen that he had absolutely
given notice of his intention, and publicly invited
several other Merchants to come and see him pull the
Prosecutor's nose, and the place he chose to perform
this ceremony, and where he absolutely carried it into
effect with every possible algravatiou of circum-
stances, was the Royal Exchange.
Mr:GURNEY here interposed, and said he had a
proposition to make on the part of his Client, the
Defendant, which, lie trusted, would relieve his
Lordship and the Jury from any further trouble.—
lie was instructed by his Client to pay every tribute,
to the respectability of the. Prosecutor, but he must
at the same time add, that his Client's character,
except in the present transaction, was equally re-
spectable. His temper, however, was irritable, and
some observations reflecting on his conduct which,
had been reported to him as having been used by the
Prosecutor, had led him to be guilty of the breach
of the law, which he now sincerely regretted, and to
show that he did so, he would now suffer a verdict of
guilty to go against him without troubling his Lord-
ship or the Jury with any defence.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, if the Defendant
had now stood in the'sanse situation as he did when
this transaction took place, the present proposition
would not have been accepted; but he had since suf-
fered adversity, and the piosecutor had no wish to
bear hard upon one who was already down ; for
these reasons the present offer would be accepted ;
and if the future conduct of the Defendant should
agree with his present professions, he would probably
ur no more of this prosecution.

ORDER OF TIIE DAY.

WI Majesty, informed, by my reports, of the
glorious victories to which you have contributed with
so ow¢ bravery and fidelity, has charged me with the
comrniasion equally agreeable and flattering to my
bear', to testify to you, my fellow-citizens, his eu.
tire satisfaction with- our cuaduct in the several ac-
tions that have takenVace.
I cannot give you, brave warriors of the Nether-
land?, a stronger proof of the approbation of our
beloved and august Sovereign, titan by making you
acquainted with the tenour of the letter which his
11.1jpoy has addressed to me, and which is conceived
in these terms :
Thr ague, June 24.
Your Reports of the 17th and nd instant have
given me unspeakable satisfaction.
As a Sovereign and a father, I doubly feel the joy
'which the happy result of so many obstinate combats
bac generally excited, for I have the certainty that
my troops have had a glorious share in them, and
have seen in the son of their Prince, a brave example
c f jht most dangerous duties they have to perform.
I desire that you will acquaint with my complete
satisfaction all the brave warriors of the Netherlands,
who fought under your command, at Quatre Bras,
and rit La Belle Alliance. Tell them that all their
countrymen have their eyes fixed on them
vt i,h trLniration and gratitude, and are proud of the
firmness and courage which they have displayed.—
I.et them Uwe' that the blood they have shed has
Irrevocably effaced the last doubt that might have
subsistr;d in the solidity of this new kingdom, and
the union of its inhabitants. Assure them that they
shall always have in me a true friend of their noble
profession, and a protector of valour and all tni-
liter,. merit.
Do you yourself find the reward of your devotion,
bnd an alleviation of your wounds, in the honour of
ring, to the brave warriors of the Netherlands, the
organ of the sentiment consecrated to them by their
timid and country.
(Signed) WILLIAM.
Continue, then, my countrymen, to walk in the
path of honour. Your king acknowledges your
service's, arid the country honours you. 'As for me,
I feel my wounds only because they keep me for a
time at a distance from you. My most ardent desire
is to join you again, to combat the common enemy,
anti bravely to lavish our blood and lives for the
Xing and country.

This was an action for an assault. The parties
were both surgeons, and had been in partnership.—
The Defendant called on the Plaintiff at his house
at Poplar, respecting the adjustment of accounts ;
there had been differences between the parties; they
quarrelled and abused each other. It appeared, that
the Defendant was a strong, and the Plaintiff a weak
mans and in bad health. The Plaintiff's wife, who
was present at the assault, was recovering from a
broken leg; the assault confined the Plaintiff for
three weeks.—The Jury gave him 1001.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jot: 1.
WOOD AND OTHERS V. RISIMERSIAN.__

This was an issue from the Court of the Master of
the Rolls, to try the validity of a patent, existing
under the following circumstances :—The Plaintiffs
are the assignees of Vanuriel, Zinck, and Co. (bank-
rupts), who were the inventors and patentees of an
article called British verdigris, and the Defendant is
a colourman, who purchased of the Plaintiffs, as
part of the bankrupts' property, his patent for ma.
nufacturing the article in question, for which he
agreed to pay twenty-five hundred pounds. The
Defendant, however, subsequently refused to pay
this sum; alleging that the patent was invalid. • In
support' of the validity of the patent this day, the evi-
dence produces{ was first the specification under which
the patent was obtained by the bankrupts. From this
it appeared that the British verdigris was produced
froin certain proportions of granulated copper nod oil
of vitriol boiled for a given time in a builer yf a parti.:
cular construction, and afterwatds mixed with a so.;
lution of potash or coda. The advantagea of the
verdigris so produced were a brighter green than that
•btained from the French verdigris, and its tiapabi.
lity of being mixed with a greater quantity of white
lead, whereby the expellee of mair.ing the brighter ,
green was considerably diminished. The next evi.l
deuce was that of a chee.i,:t, rho, from the dim.
Lions given in the specification, had Manufactured a
verdigris similar to- that sold' by the ori4ittai paten-
.tees ; and lastly a workman who had been engiloyod.
by the patentees in the manufacture of the 'Verdigris,
and who stated that the directions given in the speci-•
fication were those which heTelloeed in ii'laboers,
with some slight variations. Such was tbe"Casi of the

The proofs in support of this case were the evi-
dence of Mr. Vanuriel, one of the bankrupts. who
deposed that the same article which was sold under
the name of British verdigris, and for which the pal.
tent had been obtained, had been previpusly sots'
under the title of Dutch Imperial Green; the ingre-
dients of which the two articles were composed being
precisely the same : and he further deposed, 'that
Mr. Zinck, the inventor, had purposely withheld
one of the ingredients on the specification upon
which the patent was procured, allegirig that " if he
stated the whole, the public would know the secret."
This witness being called to state what the ingredient
was, the name of which was kept back, said he was
bound in a penalty of 20001. to a :gentleman named
Smith, with whom he had entered into partnership,
not to divulge it. The Court, however, said they
would not suffer him to shelter himself under this
shield, in a case where the Interest of suitors was
concerned; and he finaltrstated, that in addition to
the articles contained in the specification, Mr. gitick
used a certain proportion of asps fortis, which he
always put into the boiler hipotetf unknown to his
workmen. The effect of this . was to dissolve the

copper more quickly, end produce a finer green.
To this testimony was added the evidence of a gen.
Oman named Shenstone, Who proved that he had
purchased some of the British verdigris from the
bankrupts long before the patent wag taken net.

Sir VICARY Gtaes, in tiddressiog the Jury, hid
clown as a' principle of law, fleat where a patentee,
in obtaining his patent, hail it 'held, in the pecis-
- of his discovery or invention, any one article
which was necessary to its completion, or to the
facility of its production, or that it was in any ae-

spect essential to its vticr, such it patent so m.
tained, would, in point of kw, be void : and again,
if it shnuld appear that the article fur which thu
patent was obtained was publicly sold previous to the
patent being . taken out, such previous publicity, he
apprehended, but he was liable to correction, also
rendered the patent of no avail.
The Jury returned a verdict, " that an article
necessary to the manufacturing of *the verdigris had
been detained ; and that the verdigris had been sold
before the patent was taken out." This verdict was

on the points of law foi the Defendant, and the
paint of course becomes void.
