AN APPEAL ALLOWED.

SCOTT BROS. v. HEPBURN. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 2. The Appeal Court has given judgment in the case of Scott Bros. v. Hepburn and Son, an appeal from Mr Justice Sim's judgment. The point at issuo was whether the defendants high-pressure boiler for a cooking range was an infringement of appellant's patent. The Court held that the appellants' boiler was a novel invention, that their patent was valid, and that respondent infringed the patent. The appeal was therefore allowed with costs on the highest scale as from a distance. The case was remitted to the Supreme Court to settle, damages and make such other order as would, give effect to the judgment. •>
