It appearcd that various expodi- sute bad .boen resortud to by some of tho defondants in onder to evado tho patent, - The Court held that tho anvil was an oasential port of tho machine to_ support Tho Jaws while thoy hold tho rafl in tho act of separn Hous, but that tho clipping out or removal of o portion of tlie suvil immediately benoath tho rail #0 as to por- mit ita contact with thoonvil aid not of itaelf destroy Iho identity of tho machine. At tho samo timo 1t was ponceded, It tho anvil wan 80 far cut off o moved 58 1o ceaso 1o support tho rail in roceiying tho blows of tho hammor, an indiapensablo part of tho machino was gone. 1t was bocauso of 1o dificulty” of mscer taining the cxtent to which tho altcrations had boen psdo n ll tho machincs uted by tho defondante, s ause of tho imperfect condition of {ho evidenco s Yo ono of tho machines, that tho Court directed tho Blastorto report what machines used by tho defond- wta Infringed, 1t would havo beep, thorefore, obvl- oudly out of place far tho Master 10 go ihto tho goncral Biaté of tho art as to the construction of tho patant or E infringemont. Al that ho had to do was {0 decido Bo to tlio oxtent of tho Infringement, and s to tho Pariicular machines usod by tha defehdants. And wo way that, without intending to deny tho right of iho Msnter( 1n caso tho ovidenco beforo him presented tho patent tnder any sspect not proviously considered by #ho Court, to rojort, the facta for its instructions, Tho qghth aud ninth xcoplions aro, that tho Master irefused 1o receive or consiier oyidehics tending (o ©how tiat somo of tho dofendants’ machincs waro, _principle, the samo o8 somo 0 usa prior to th In- entloirof tho Onwood maching, and that ho compared ouly the defondants’ machines with Onwood's, in ordor 1o determine whather or not thoy infringed, Wo think &hoso exceptions must also bs overrulod, The principles upon which tho validity of tho patent Kor 1hio Uawood machine was 10 be secortafnod had al- xeady boen declded by tho Caurt, Tho Muster liad oaly towpply thom to tho Cawood sad tho other ma- ehinea ared by thio defondants, & matter conceded to bo not free from difficulty, minly on_account of the efforts anado by tho defendanty to evads tho putent as thoy supposad it was, or ought o be, construod by tho Court, A5 alreatly statod, 1t was not the duty of the Master 20 go thvough the bistory of the machines offered In evidence in order to decido whetlior (ho defondauts’ “machiues infringed tho Plumtit’s patent, IL was suf- Aicient to compars thein together to reach a conclusion ©on the gubject. Any ofher rulo would cause bim to 80 over 1hio ground already exsinined by tho ourt. Tha tguth, eloventh, twolfth, thirloonth, fourteonth, and Bfironth excaptions refer o the mackivery used by tho defendants, snd which tho Master has reported infriugal tho paiatiis machino, Thoso excoptions il be ovorruled, 1n Some of tho machincs it may bo admitted ft1s n uestion of éome nicoty, aa 31 tho Brobo & Smith, the iayouce Visc, and tho Mickigan Houtliors, It &4 fu- siated He Maator should not Liave reported thees as fu- gringlug tho Cawood machin, because, among othier ensous, of tho difercnt conetriction of tho jaws, and the want of the anvil support, Btrces I8 pliced'on a, xemark pf the Court in the cand of Turrill v. ths Xili-’ Dofe Contral Ratlroad, to tho effect that when tho jaws ot & visa aro cut to (ko spo of any instrument io be Bield, it tould sugyent the Idea at onco that thoy might o clianged o tho forn of any oflicr Inatrumeit or ob- Ject. Lut tho remark was mado with regard to tho Cavood maching in its fuished stat, and treating the Jawa aa g vieo. Itwas cortainlya fact that thio com- imon anvil or awayo-block hnd - long boon used for Te- pairing falls, and in_comparing the old machine with ho now; thodifference u tho oporation, aud in tha tiwe, cxpense, and labor could not be 1ot alght of, And, as connocted witls this, the anvil, as a support to o faws'while olding the rail, 1 Tacelving tho blows of tuo hauimer, was conaidered esscatial, Now, It s truoin Fomo of-{heso mackincs tho Jawa aro moro clongated than in tho Cawood machine, and in: eomo the rull in thoact of Lammoringdoes not evontually como In con- tact wifli the anvil or what takes tho placo of tho sovil ; Yt in oll thero in something moro than a mero wise, and that secms borrowed from tho Cawood ma- chitle, And we hink, in deciding on tho quostion of Anfringement, the conduct of tho defendants in rols- tlon to thelr” mackinea may bo considored, Thero #eams to.lave been & constant offost to approach as near s gousfblo tho plafntill 's machine, and yet not ‘close oucugh to infringe. And in overruling thivso ex- ceptions wo think that whilo it may bo true that the w30 rulea should o applicabio na in comparing tho Cat5oad machines with athara ond prior macliney, to 1cat the valldity of the patent, yet that on the question of intelugoment tho conparison should bo iads di- soctly bojweon tho plalutlf’s and tho dufendsnia’ ms- chins, . The spiteenth exception will bo sustatnod, That Is made botauso tho Master found tho Bajn machluo fn- fringed tho Cawood machino, - Wu do not sgreo with tho Master in this, Cawood's pateut does ot includo any machino by which a rail may bo held fn the act of reparation, but ita own special mothod, Any other porson was at liberty to dovlso anethod of holding tho rail. Thia wo think Dain hast done by his machino. Tlore ore’no Jaws ko those of tho Cawood machino, Thorofs no liame mer used, Tho wholo operatfon 15 performod by placing tho rail botween four rollers, two vertical, which austaiu_and press the rall, and two horizontal, onoon eschsido, to hold it. Iiian rolling process, nll tho rollers moving as tho rail advances or rocedes In flosctof reparation, Tho clamental ien of tho Bain machino seoms to a o ho differont from that of ho 1 Lulutifr’a machine. Al tho othor machines found by thio Master to {nfringe may bo eaid tobo the omana-~ tions or wuggestions of the Oswood machine, Thla cannot bo aflirmed of tho Daln machine.

Nnmes wore given, and the stntomonts’ soomed plauatble, but investigation proved them to basbsolutely falso, It was assertod that ono Hill, a Ballilt in Judgo Rogers' Court, who did. eome important eorvice for the Tlilrols Central Rond, applied to Mr. Jowott, its attorney, for a pasa ; that Mr. Jowett prom- isadito procure it for him, and wroto to Mr, New- oll, the President of the Company, asking him to issuo ono; that Mr. Nowell roplied that-ho could riot, in tho face of tho redolution adopted, conecionclously hibnor {ho requost; that, thor fore, Mr. Jewott thirontoned to tonder bis rosi nation, enying ho would not havo any connection with a railway corporation which did not issuo passes whon calied for them ; and that Mr, Now- oll was intimidated by this threat, and tho pase was jsauod. This ““revelation” created somo comment, and Mr. Scammon was for once com- monded for baving made an exposuro of unfair doalings An interviow, howover, with tho gen- tlomon named, diepelled the illusion, and stamped tho nllogations as falsehoods.

Mr. Jowett was noxt sought ut, and ho douied haying sskod for a pasi or having throntoned to tendoer his rosignation as attorney for tho rond if his domands woro not camplic with, No one had asked him for a pass siveo tho compnct was signod, sud he should not endeavor to ~ dend-head o Boiliff or_any othor porson who had dono him favor. r. Hill stated {hat Mr. Jowett hnd procured him n pnss to go to Louisyille threo yours a0, and that ho had not called on him ginco. Bomuch for Mr. Bcammon's yarn about tho Central Ltoad. Now for the supplemental falychood sbout the 8t TLonis & Alton Rond, Mr. 8, L, Whipplo, who bas chargo of tho pass- ‘bools and sees avery pasy issucd, said that that Company had not issucd one to any person ex- copt on omploye’ since tho_ 16th instant. Pro- viously thore was some doubt about the issue to stack-nhiplmm, and passes bad boon given out; but, when an undorstanding ~ wes roschod by tho other: rondy, “‘dend-honds" woro cut off, and not ouo had since riddon over tho'rond withont paying full fare. The charge againet this road was that passos woro issued in biank—certainly a vory absurd way snd one onsily dotected; but AMr. Whippla's statoment shows it to be groundiess, Ceriaiu persons who formorly obtained freo ridea are ondoavoring to broak tho compact by circulating lies about the is5uo of pusses, and Mr. Scammion, who wroto tho artiele, must havo got hold of ono of theso Al‘nm]’m angd placed credonco in what he said. In no othor way cau the publication of such stato- menls be accounted for. & THE STEAM-WHISTLE NUISANCE.
