Eaton, chemist, and William »J. R. Hill, commercial tra-. veller, both of Auckland, and trading as Hill’s Essence Proprietary.

His Honor also ordered that the profits made- therefrom be computed - by, the Registrar of the Court and paid 1 oyer to the plaintiff; that all packages of' Hill’s Essence offending against the injunction granted be handed over to the plaintiff; and that-'the defendants also' pay to the plaintiff £26 Is as costs and disbursements.
