A case was heard in the Supreme Court yesterday of importance to patentees. It "was an "action for damages for breach of patent, but the defence pleaded that the plaintiff (the patentee) had worked the invention in defendant's own workshop before he (plaintiff) applied and obtained tho patent for it. The plaintiff practically admitted that the plea, was unanswerable by withdrawing his action. In the R.M. Court yesterday a publican sued a laborer for 13 on a promissory note for bottles of brandy .and other liquors supplied. The R.AL gave judgment for defendant remarking that he had no sympathy whatever for plaintiff, who had allowed 'a laborer, with a wife aud family to support, to incur a debt for drink which he was not able to pa}-. If, has been decided to wind up the Dunedin Deep Sea Fishing Company. Though only a few mouths in operation it has lost .£.500.
