ting that one appeal fee had been paid, but con
tending that as the reissue was asked in three
divisions three fees should be paid. Tho case,

the improvement and NJ. Ball applied 1t on the
l4th of July, 1s63 Miller being present at the

vious inventions would lead him to such inven-
tions while Miller's would not.

tween Amos Ranko and Miller, Mr.. Bull had
testified that the invention belonged to Ranke,

cation Of his invention at the 18th of July, Mil
ler's testimony showed his to have been made
before the 8th Of July.
