A DISPUTED PATENT.
ELECTRICAL CABLE CONNECTOR. • DUNEDIN INTERESTS CONCERNED. (Special to Daili Times.) WELLINGTON, April 30. Reserved judgment was delivered by the Chief Justice (Sir Charles Skcrrctt) to-day in a case in which an appeal was made from the decision of the Registrar of Patents. The facts of the case were that the registrar considered that Messrs M'Lcod and M'Shain, linesmen of Dunedin, had grounds for the registration as a patent of an electrical cable connector. Messrs Leech, Turner, and Co. (Ltd.), also of Dunedin, the holders of a patent of a similar nature, appealed against the decision of the Registrar to grant a patent to M'Lcod and M'Shain, The appeal was made on the grounds of want of novelty, and on account of prior publication and lack of invention. It was submitted by the respondents that their article was an improved device, and was entitled to be patented. His Honor dismissed the appeal and ordered each party to pay Its own costs.
