Thegoucyrnst-Gcunt.thand /drab:nem. moved
for an Injenction in II is case, to restrain the De-
fendant from selling ire-arms with a patent lock in-
vented by the Plaintiff, who Is a Scotch Clergyman.
The Plaiatiff, in 17P9, invented a lock, which area
by porcelains', and obtained a patent for the inven-
tion. It had since been imitated by two persons of
the names of Menton and Vickers, against whoa►
actions had been brought, and damages recovered.
The Defendant bad sold a very grist number, and
ins at present preparing a nertstior more, in cow..
titmice of a great d►mand in anticipation of Septem-
ber nest; end the Plaintiff ass of course desirous 14
stop him in time.
Mr. WINGFIULD, on the other side, contended,
that there was, in this ea.*, so invasion of the pa-
tent, as tbe locks differed materially in the manner
of going off, one linings find pellet, sad the other
a moveable one.
