PATENT MOBILES.
Judge Sawyer Administers n Costly Lesson to
Frank a. Fisher.

Judge Sawyer yesterday rendered his decision
in the case of Frank Ii. Fisher, charged with con
tempt of Court in violating an in junction. Some
time ago Il. Il. Craig et al. brought suit against
Fisher for an infringement of their patent no1-
zes for hydraulic mining. The suit decided
in their favor, and shortly afterward Fisher was
ndud ,ed guilty of contempt in manufacturing
ard selling nozzles under their patent, and was
ordered to pay fine of 500 and not to offend
again. He then began to take the worn out noz-
zles made by Craig and repair them with new
plates and put them on new pipes. This he
claimed when arrested for contempt, was not an
i Infringement of the patent. Judge Sawyer held
that to repair and offer for sale any invention
patented by another WAS as much an infringe
ment of pat mt as to manufacture and sell the
patented article new. He accordingly adiudged
Fisher guilty of contempt and ordered him to
pay a fine of $500, costs of proceeding and $40
counsel fees, and to be imprisoned in the County
Jail of Santa Clara for five days-Chroncie.
We learn that hydraulic miners in Placer
county are using nozzles that are an infringe
ment of the Craig patent, and are laying
themselves liable to heavy penalties, and we
make this note that they may be warned i'll
time.-ED. HERALD.

Some bad boys, wanting TO hear him swear,
