Embezzlers or those about to embezzle will
be gratified to learn that, according to an
English decision, If person is sent by his
employer to get check cashed, and spends
or pockets the proceeds, he is not guilty OF
theft. The only thing that can be done is to
bring O. civil suit for the recovery of the
money. The check is not stolen because it
was placed in his hands by the owner for

Judge Wheeler, of the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern District Of New York,
has rendered decision in effect that one OF
the most essential features of oil the moving
machines manufactured during the past
twenty years Is covered by a patent issued to
one Nishwitz. This decision, IL sustained in
the ultimate tribunals, will render all infring
ers upon the patent liable in damages to the
present owners OF the patent, AS there have
been an immense number of machines manu-
featured, the amount involved is almost be-
yond calculation. The future production OF
machines will not be affected, however, as the
patent expires by limitation in February
next,
