Napier, Oct 15

Judgment was given in the Court of Queen’s Bench last week in tho action brought by Haslam and Co. against Ha’’ and Co. for alleged infringement of their

patents relative to tho refrigerating macb'ne. The matter is of considerable importance to New Zealand, as Tyscr and Co.’s new line of steamers use Hall’s macl'nes. Very contradictory messages have been received as to the tenor of tho judg .nent. Shaw Sav llle’s agent has lad a cable message si)' lg that Haslam won the action, but Mr Dobson of this town has received the fo’lowing contradictory message Haslam action not yet decided. Further arguments necessary. Selembria sa"ed lltli ' ist.” Tho latter aitnoi ocemcnt is regarded as bearing on the f 'st pat t of the message, as it is considered r 'iltely that the Celembila, which is fitted ’th Ha’”s inach’ iob, would havo boen allowed to sa ! l after the judgment of the Cor j, ;f the case was in favor of Haslam.
