SYDNEY, April 16. (Received; April 16, at 9.10 p.m.) The defendants in the Sun cable case have accepted a perpetual injunction. Plaintiff's counsel refused the defendants' offer to pay £50 damages on each suit in order to avoid inquiry before the Master of Equity. The Equity Court at Sydney in March granted The Times, United Service, and Renter's Telegrams an interim injunction restraining the Independnt Cable Associate and Thomas Temperley from infringing alleged cable copyright. The plaintiff's affidavits stated that Temperley admitted personally copying the Sun's cables for transmission to a certain paper. A recent employee of the defendant association alleged that he personally heard Temperley direct his employees to copy the Sun's cables and transmit them to papers. The judge admitted the similarity in the phraseology of specimens submitted.
