Denton and Haughton Examiner, etc. — 1889-02-16 (Denton, Greater Manchester, England)

DUDE-MARIE Casa—Mr. Justice Kay, sitting in the Chancery Division has had before him applications re Eno's trade-marks for "Fruit Salt," and re Dunn's trade-marks for " Fruit Salt Baking Powder." The Attorney-General, Mr. Aston, Q.C., and Mr. John Cutler appeared for Mr. Eno ; and Mr. Moulton, Q.C., and Mr. A Birrell appeared for Mr. G. W. Dunn. The principal question at issue was whether Mr. Dunn was at liberty to designate a preparation "Fruit Salt" Baking Powder, and whether his so doing would not be a trespass on Mr. Eno's business, he being the well-known proprietor of Eno's "Fruit Salt." The learned judge, in summing up said that in his opinion this was clearly an attempt on thepart of M. Dunn to obtain the benefit of Mr. Eno's large trade. He wanted to sell his article by inducing people to believe either that it was made by Mr. Eno, or made in the same way or in some way which would give it part of the reputation Mr. Eno had obtained from his fruit salt. There were millions of combinations of words which would be quite as good for the applicant as 'fruit salt,"although they would not be as good for , him in the sense in which he wanted to use them, because they would not interfere with the trade of another man, which was evidently what Mr. Dunn wanted to do. If his real object was to describe what his baking powder was composed of why did he not call it "Tartrate of Potassa Baking Powder 7 He refused Mr. Dunn's application for legal sanction for the use of the words Fruit Salt," with costs.

It seems to have been somewhat mismanaged, according to the Melbourne correspondent of the Colonies and India. Foreign exhibitors were full of complaints, especially respecting the delays and composition of the juries and the awards. A great deal of money was wasted at the opening, while, to balance the expenses, the Executive Commission introduced vexatious retaanchments, such as reducing the number of firemen on guard, and cutting off the steam-power for several hours daily. Nor were sufficient attractions provided for the public in the way of bands, illuminations, and other rircensee.
