AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

’ the Patent Laws

(nfringement o

At Dunstaftuage County Court, on

Tuesday, the 9th inst, a suit was tried before Judge Alley, of considerable inter- eet to the arming community. it was an action of damages, brought by John T. Garland against Philip Hughes, for infringement of a patent right as to the construction of what is known as “Crabbs Canadian Combination Fence.” Bhis fence is in seucral use by farmers throughout the provioce. It is construct- ed by driving upright stakes in the ground and extending boriontal rails along those makes,tastened by wire fastenings,on which ts placed crutch sta.es,and riders alscsecur- ed by wire ties. A patent was obtained for this fenceon Jane Ist, 1887, by Cyrus

Grabbe of Markham, Oot., who transferred bis rights therein for P, E. Island to Niel McKinnon, of Sumierside by deed dated

lth August, 1890, who assigned the right

for Lots 35 and 36 to the plaiotifi by deed daied 20th Dec, 1897, both of which deeds @ave beea duly rereived in the Patent Uffice; Otfawa,

it was proved that the defeudant’s fence

was-neb tied on the top rider and differed frou the-patent in other respects. In giv- sng judgment in this case Judge Alley said he bad giver a great deal of attention to this suit and examined the documents and evidence laid before uim very carefully, ae it was the first case of the kind tried in the province. The learned jadge referred to the patent laws, and held that it was the duty ofths Court to regard the substance of the invention, and he further held that the pateat was infrioged upon if tbe-defendant had infringed upon the sub- atwace of the invention ; although he may have made immaterial variations or used mechanical equivaleate therein. The right af construction of these fences under the patent is granted to farmers at 5c per acre oa the entire acreage of the farm. The wefendant contained 224 acres; judgment was given for $1i 30,

LETTERS ABOUT NEWFOUNDLAND

Its Conditions and Its Peonle,

A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.

The {Scenery and the Cycling. (Correspondence of Tug Examiner )

St. Pierre, in addition to its fisheries being the great nursery for the French navy, is widely known among the Cus- toms officials of Newfoundland and the

Dominion as a spring and source of very

extensive smuggling, chiefly in liquor. Always a considerable drain on our revenue, this illicit traffic is sure to be-

come most serious in the event of probibi- tion being adopted, and the whole Domi- nion fleet will tnen fiod ample ewploy-~ ment in watcking the St. Pierre trade with the Easterp coasts and the Lower Sr. Lawrence. Passsing St. Pierre we are oft

the bold rocky coast of the promontory lying between Fortune and Placentia Bays. The hills are bare

rock with little trace of vegetation except in the clefis where sparse grass and some stunted spruce are seen.

Houses of fisbermen are seen scat- tered along in the little coves, where the children are born, and reared amid the ceaseles3 wash aod moan of the surges ot tne Atlantic, which is to them a home, a means Of subsistance, and too often a grave.

The promontory culminating in the striking headland of Cape Chapeau Rouge with the safe barbor and thriving settle - ment of St Lawrence atits base. A litule to the west is Lamaline, the birthplace of Sir James Winter, the present premier of Newfoundland, while to the eastward is Burin, the most important settlement on this part of the coast. Most of our passengers have found their sea legs by this time and are evjoying the delightful weather, dis~ cussing the scenery, or watching the stray whales which rise to the surface, sporting for 4 mOment avd then vanishing into the depths. An animated group, amidships, is busy over the American war, and it is refreshiug to listen to the geouine enthus- jasm Which young America manifests for the Great Republic. There was no gusb, but a deep feeling that tue hand of God had been plainly mani- fesied in the destruction of two Spanish fleets, with almost no loss on the part of she victors. When it came tothe discus» sion of the future policy of the United States, one could hardly help swiling to hear that it really, after ail, depended upon the needs of mankind. If the moral welfare ofthe nations called the United States to take a share in the larger inver- ests of the world she would not hesitate to come to the front, but her people ae sired no foreign conquests for the sake of acquisition. There is a humorous sid? to all this, and yet it is true that, while on the one hand, a3 the Spectator puts it, as long as men like Hobson man her fleets the Great Republic need not fear foreign foes, on the other, as long as the young men of the country have thie abiding fa:th in the aims and motives of her diplomacy, so long, inthe main, her course will be along lines of righteousness. The old leaven of the Puritans has by no means died out of the great heartof the United States.

The long bright afternoon passed pleasantly as we steamed across the calm waters of Placentia Bay, and it was early ev ning when we entered the beautiful bar~ ber of Placentia, the old French capital of the island. Let us quote from Prowse’s Hi-iory a description of the scene that un folds itself here.

“ The situation of Placentia ie extremely beautiful and picturesque, the railway from Whitbourne, instead of descending the northeast valley intothe ancieat French metropolis, by a curious freak of engineer- ing ascends, and forme a lotiy height, and from a lofty height the travel.er sees the whole panorama of Plaisance spread out before him; below is the bzautiful north~ east arm dotted with islands, cottages and farms, beyond is the shining eea,the beach and the town with its beautiful Catholic chapel and houses. Aa the traveller des- cends a very steep grade to the Jersey eide the other part of the grand panorama un~ folds itself, the beautiful south-east arm sweeping past tall fir~crowned bluffs in a winding circuit foreight miles. We can only add that the cea view is quite equal tothe landone. As we landed at the railway wharf one of the inhabitants was seated on the pier quietly pulling in splen- did sea trout. After some delay we are off in the comfortable cars of the Newfound- land railway. This road like our ownis a nsrrow guage, three feet six inches in width and the originat cars were very much like the first we had, crowded and uncom- foriable. Since Mr. Reid took the road new rolling stock has been provided and the carsare now roomy and comforiable. The road beds has beeo greatly improved und as an enthusiastic Newfoundlander remarked it is smoother than avy of your roads up along. We won’t go that far but the railway certainly runs more smoothly than when we were last on it. Wemiss some very pretty scenery owing to the lateness of the hour, but at Freshwater the rising moon gites us a glimpse of

what would be a charming picture by day. Ponds, streams and brooks in all directions from whose sparkling waters speckled beauties are taken in large numbers. We note that the moon

shives on both sides of the train rapidly

j

shifting its position very much as it does when travelling on our own railway whence we infer that Curves are pot uns

Perbape they desire to show off the scenery to the greatest possible advantage, their necessarily heavy grades furnish a better excuse than is possible in our own Island. A run of about 25 miles brings us to the

main line aud we reach Ste John’s atone o’clock a. m., two bours bebind time, due io a long detention at Placentia,

_ Little chauge Las taken place in the city since our last visit,a few more buildings have been erwted and very few of the gaps made by the fire of 1892 now remain. Une burnt district has been greatly im- proved io rebuilding. In the first of a series of leiters now being published in the Montreal Star by the talented Principal of Queen’s College, K rgston, Dr (rant, who was Oue of our fellow jaseengers on he retnrn trip, We noteihat he speaks in

the highest terms of the roade as affording spleut:d facilities for bicycles, The learned doctor is pOt @ cyclist or he would not say what he Tbe cost of transpor- tation is much higher than with us, one dollar and five per wheel from Sydney to St. John’s, the hills are almost unsur- mountable obstacles, and one cannot go any distance without meeting a hill, and, while the material for road making is unexcelled, the roads in the main are very rough. Two tacts will suffice. We were assured by an enthusiastic native cyclist that wheels were balf their time in the repair sheps, and were also informed by a gentleman, vOta cyclist, that the fair riders of St. John’s all bad bicycle faces—a paioed an- xlous expression,

It was easy to believe that anyone riding down a Newfoundland hill would bave a somewhat pained expression, for the con- sequence of meeting acy obstacle would be most serious. Then there is the continua’ danger of collisions. for the sidewalke are allover the street, and as the foot pasaens ger baa the right of way evervwhere, cy- clists are compe?led to ride warily and keep ringing their bela all the time. Nor are human collisions the only ones to de dread- ed. The price of @ hen is thirty five cents, and we learned of one wnfortuvate wheelman who had to pay constructive damages for being wnfortunate enough to rin over a hen during the laying season. Fortunately she was not “presiding,” to we | & vernacular term, orhe might have bad to pay for a prospeetve brood of chickens. Whether it be due to the rough roads, or the hills or the manifold dangers we cao- not eay, but tous the St. John’s ladies did not seem to ride as vracetully as owr own fair cyclists and we strongly advise tourists to leave their wheels behind. Cycles can be hired in St. Joho aad the risk of trans~ portation as well as customs diffisulties at both <nds can thus be avoided. :

Despite the good system of sewerage and the various admirable sanitary measwres adopted, a good deal remains to te done before the city is alb that could be desired. In many parts of the city water is thrown into the surface drains and througiy it oon finds its way intothe sewers. The exhalations, especiaily on wash days, de not remind one of

The country around the capital is pretty, wod it was looking its very best, and the crops (which of course does not couvey the idea that they do to us) were promising splendidly. The potatoes es- pecially looked well, the waters of Cabot S rait being wide enough, so far at all evente, to keep out the bu-. Whether the pest will emigrate by Bruce and rail, now that Communication is so frequent, re- mains to be seen, Visiting the small out- lying ~=villages round St. John’s, we were pleased to note a decided improvement ia the appearance of the houses and people generally. This #as very noticable at Tor Bay, Outer and Middle Coves, and we were glad to learn that while the change was partly due to tne circulation of cash paid for railway work, it was stili more owing to the indefati- gable labors of the mach respected Parish Priest, Father Clark, who has succeeded to % remarkable degree in putting down intemperance and in promoting everything

ending to the improvement of his parish- oners. During our stay in St. John’s, two large steamers were in ibe dry dock, one of the Dahome of the Canade, Newfoundland and Liverpool line, whch struck on Cape Spear ledges, the viher the “Petunia” a tramp steamer which went ashore between Cape Race and St, John’s. The value of this dock is becom< ing greater year by yearas the position of St. Johns renders it the most easily acces- ible dock for the great majority of trans Atlantic starmers. The same reason wil! doubtless, ere long, determine the Impe: ial authorities to made St. John’s a fortified coaiing depot for the fleet. With this as a base in time of war, oar cruisers could easily sweep the Northern Atlantic. It was

known in Newfoundlaud railway building. |,
