ANOTHER INJUNCTION CAsE-R0dgers d Sous,
Tie SAetfeId Cutters, against Phflp af S0lonions.-
Yesterday, an application for an injunction was
made by Messrs. Rodgers & Sons, OF Sheffield,
England, to restrain Messrs. Philip & SolOmOns
from selling pocket or penknives or other cut
lery stamped James Rodgers & Sons or Rodgers
s sons, not made by plaintiff, but marked with
an imitation OF their trade mark. They prey
that MessTs. Philip s. SOlonons be restrained
from selling such goods; that the auditor be di-

Of the profits made by Messrs. p. & 5. on the
sale Of cutlery with this trade mark, and they
claim $4,000 damages The preliminary order
of restraint was issued, and the case win come

Philip & SolOmons say that there are two sides

the cutlery In question has been dealt in, in open
market, for the past twenty years; that they
have bought and sold Ii in good faith; and that

is understood furthermore that the suit in ques-
ton is not As against our townsmen alone, but is
only one of a series which the complainants
intend 70 bring against dealers in 1t, for the
pose Of breaking up the traffic in n spurious
article which owes its demand solely TO the rep
