IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
WELSBACH LIGHT COMPANY WINS
 AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

Injunction Granted by Judge Townsend
 Against Sunlight and Incandescent
 Lamp Company-short Calendar Session
 of the Superior Court.
 In the United States court Judge Townsend has issued an injunction and has ordered an accounting for the suit of the Welsbach Light company against the Sunlight and Incandescent Lamp company. The complainant company is in Gloucester City, N. J., and the defendant company in New York The Welsbach company alleg- ed that the Sunlight company had in- fringed its patent in the Welsbach light. The point in issue was the man tie invented in 1885 by pr. Carl Auer Won Welsbach of Germany. It proved too brittle to be of commercial value, and Dr. Won Welbach assigned his in- vention to Frederick L. and William s. RaWson of London, England, who discovered a process to tougher the mantle, and it became of great value. Afterwards the Rawsons assigned their rights to Wesley Steele Block of New Jersey, and he assigned it to the Wels- bach company
 The Sunlight company set up that the process of manufacturing the Welsbach mantle contained no new idea, but was simply combination of methods that had long been in use.
 The injunction granted by the court of course runs against the Sunlight company, and all other companies mak- ing such mantles. The case will prob ably go to the court of appeals.
