new trial granted, solely on account Of an error in
the charge of the Cour, upon the question of damages.
Epnn all other points the instructions and rulings be-
low were c1prcss y confirmed. The validity of the
patent of lSi7 was thereby fully established as the
trial was n very thorough one, and every thing WAS
adduccd that could be to destroy the nuvcty OF the
inventions covered by The patent
This patent of 1871 embraces as it's main feature,
the invention ot IN arrangement whereby Il seat or
position is secured upon the machine ior the rakrr
who rakcs tho cut grain from the plaiiosn upon which
it is deposited by the reel This patent oi lS41 was
reissued in lS3, and since the reissue I'm injunction
has been granted by the Court against Seymour "
Morgan to restrain them from violating that patent by
making reaping machines eub bracinS an arrangement
for raker's sent or position upon the machine.
The trial which haA list been had w0s upon the pa-
tent of lSi5 alone the Court having held that by the
reissue of the original patent Of 1871 pending this
suit, the plaintiff had abandoned all claim for damu-
ses in the suit for tho Infringement Of that original
patent. The trial was, therefore confined to the pa.
tent of lSi5 and thoroughly and ably conducted
by Henry H. Sclien, John X. Porter and Nicholas
Hill, Jr, Esqs, on the part OF the defence the plain
tff being represented by Gov. Seward und Charles
NJ Keller and Samuel BlntchorL, Esqs., his coun-
sci.
Tho defences set up were those of want of novelty
non-infrmgcment and Abandonment. The Inventions
covered by this patent of 1915 relate TO the improve,
ment in the cutting apparatus OF the machine, by
which that operation IL made complete: and 10 the
arrangements for dividing the grain, by which, III
connection with the reel perfect separation oi the
grain 10 he cuf ON that tn be left standing ID secured
The Importance of these improvements to the success
full and perfect operation Of the machno in all stna
tions and conditions of the crop, seems to have been
very clearly established.
Thus the novelty, m well as Importance, OF this
treat American invention have been vindicatcd By al
