A PATENT CAsI-To.day, In the EouIty |
Court. (yudge Wylie.) an application was |
made by Wr. W. q. Busey for an Injunction to |
restrain the GEORGETOWN Guano Company

manufacturing fertilizers (ammoui. |
lted dissolved bone) Of certain ingredients
Mr.. j. n. Bradley, Jr., for the plaintiff. and |
Mr.. ID. A. Burr for the defendants. Mr.. Busev |
claims that the ingredients used are the same as |
hose used in Busey's excelsior fertilizer, |
or which he obtained patent in April, 1863 |
The defendants presented affidavits that the |
Ingredients to compound their fertilizer had |
been used for that purpose prior to the issuing |
u the patent to Busey, and that the ingredients |
1sed By the Georgetown Guano Company |
we're different from those used in making |
Busey's fertilizer. After short arguments by |
he counsel, Judge Wylie refused to grant the
NJ uncHon prayed for on account OF the patent |
covering too much ground, and remarked that |
was strange that the specific quantities to be |
1sed were not set fsrth in the patent, and also |
)ecause II was clearly shown that the same |
ingredients had been used in the manufac ure !
II fertilizers before the patent was granted
