A DIGEST OF THE law OF Trademarks.


In our issue of March 6, we noticed in
these columns digest of the law of trademarks" by
Mr. Charles T. COddington, and said OF the book that
no attempt at concseness have been made In
many instances, single IL spread out with almost
all the fulness or the original report, through many
sections and several pages" and nstanced an
illustration the case Of Newman against AlyOrd,
filling nine sections and five pages of the digest while
IN the volume of reports, the opinion OF the Court
pies only five and half pages ana the syllabus OF the
repOrtcROuly half page and ventured the observa-
ton that the writer OF digest should state in his own
language, briefly. the principle of a decision. with
enough OF the facts illustrate the decided point and
reject the verbiage OF the opinion" Mr.. Coddngton
writes us, complaining that have done him ill.,
Justice, and are "mstakcn" in our figures"
and he calls attention that his digest of the case
is not only OF the opinion Of the Court of APP
peals but of the Supreme Court ALSO which latter,
he says, was "on matters not touched upon" in the
former. If he will examine his digest and the reports
referred TO ISL N.Y. and 40 Barbour he will find that we
were correct in statement His section 80 Is
tract from the opinion Court of Appeals and
batim except that the statement Of the principle that
trademark must indicate origin ownership and not
quality is omitted His section 3Os is the first para
graph of the reporters syllabus OF the opinion,
also verbatim. His section TO is the first paragraph Of
the Supreme Court reporters syabusalsO verbatim and
differs In respect from tho corresponding paragraph
Of the syllabus OF the Court OF Appeals opinion except
that 1t is longer If 1t does differ then Mr. Coddingon
IN citing the latter court the authority and not
the former The same observations apply TO his section
100 which stated the authority of the court
although 1t is the second paragraph OF the syllabus

composed OF two verbatim extracts from each opn-
ion. the extract from the lower courts opinion being
unimportant and the extract from the upper courts
opinion having been previously stated semble in his

sections l.Ol4 OILS taken bodily and

tain no other or different principle application of a
principle than what had already been digested as the
opinion OF the upper court. II this is not 80,
