ps Before Judges
Csc H. RRNFoS, st. al. PEoE, CARPENTER,
CLNFELp and
WORCESTER.
This case is brought TO recover damages for
frauds practiced(s (ss alleged) by Defendants upon
the Plaintiffs BY false representations in regard 10
the value and practicabity Of what ia known
as the Renton Patented Process for working
wrought iron direct from the ore, by means of
"Renton's Ore Welding Furnace"
The case showed that on the 10Th day Of
August, 1853, James Renton, by cans Of GER
tain representations in regard to his patent and
a pamphlet and card he exhibited purporting
to be issued by the Defendants as owners oftbe
patent, induced the Plaintiff, as they say, to
purchase che patent and e1pend large cum Of
money ia erecting and operating the patented
plau Of making iron the proof showed also,
that the experiment Of tho Plaintiffs with this
Ronton Furnace was an entire failure, which
resulted in a few weeks in an abandonment Of
the thing as worthless.
The case went to the Jury upon tho follow
ing propositions:
lst. Were the representations made
I'll Were they made by the Defendant with
a view Of inducing tho Plaintiffs to make She
purchase
Sd. Were they relied upon by the Plaintiff,
and by reason of the re representations we're the
Plaintiffs induced to make tho purchase and ex-
pendtures2
4th. Were they false
5th Were they at the time they were made
known to be false by the Defendants
In support of each of the above propositions
the Plaintiffs addueel large amount Ct testi-
mony by dopositions anI from witnesses. This
was opposed by great number Of witnesses
aud depositions by Defendants. The evidences
offered by the Plaintiffs showed that since 1850
furnaces on this plan had been erected in differ
ent parts of this country and England, viz;

1SJURioUs EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE Kiss
Ixe.-We fear that the good ladies OF the
Park street church in Boston have been do
ing great injury to the churches of the
land. We see it stated when their excel
lent pastor departed for Europe few days
ago, they all kissed him aud some of them
thus testified their affection two or three
times. Now we DO not wish to speak as
though we desired to restrict in the least
liberties of the ladies, when they disposed
thus to treat one of our sex, nor as if we
were filled with malicious envy Of gentle
man whom we esteem SO highly as the Rev.
Mr.. Stone. But We begsleave to inquire
whether, if this touching mode of bidding
farewell to the pastor become general, it
will not do more to increase the number of
clerical invalids and to empty our pulpits
than even that arch enemy of preachers, the
bronchitis. We confess that We fear such a
result. if our respected friends of the pulpit
share in any degree the weakness to which
we editors plead guilty.-Proeidenee( Il. l. J
