prior to the passing said act Of Con-

It is contended by the plaintiff,
that the defendant is liable for using
the plaintiffs Improvement, in appii-
cation 70 the second wheel and pair of
stonss, since the 22d January, 1909, or
at all events, since the time when the
defendant received notice OF the plain

the. act passed on The 21st of January,
1soe, for the relief of Oliver Evans,
extends only to cases ofimprovements
erected fer use, or used prior to the
passage of said law, and does not pro.
tect the defendant from damages, for
using after the issuing Of the patent
under this law, an Improvement erect

On the other side it is insisted that
