the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within two calendar months from the date of the said Letters
Patent, that then the said Letters Patent shall be void, as in and by the
same, relation being thereunto, may more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso I, the said
John Swarbreck Rogers, do hereby declare that the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, are particularly
described and ascertained as follows, that is to say :—
The wool intended to be made use of by virtue of the said Patent is
produced from the skins of lambs which die young, by disease or otherwise,

spun into yarn upon machinery, the same as is used in the spinning of
cotton, wool, or silk yarn, namely, carding engine, drawing engine, mules,"
jennys, throstles, or any other machinery used in the cotton, or woollen, or silk
spining trade, save only that it is necessary to use wooden rollers, made of ash
or other timber, formed in the same manner as the rollers usually employed in
the spining of cotton, wool, or silk yarn.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Third
day of February, in the fifty-fourth year of the reign of our Sovereign
Lord George the Third, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain

and fourteen
