"HOW’S THAT?”
APPEAL 'TO LAW UMPIRE. Sydney, December 12. “How’s that?” whispered a Test match enthusiast in the Equity Court to-day. Down in the body of the Court a barrister, under the eye of a legal umpire, was making an appeal. Cricket bat in hand, he said forcibly: “This, your Honour, is an application for an interim injunction !” It was all a question of a cricket bat—“ Exhibit A.” Mr Justice Harvey examined it closely—his associate gripped it firmly in true Bradman fashion. “The Don Bradman grip,” said the barrister proudly. The appeal had been made on behalf of Handi Rubba (Aust.), Ltd., who applied for an injunction io restrain Rozelle Wood Products, Ltd., from selling bats with handles “similar to the grip known as the Don Bradman grip,” of which, it was claimed, the plaintiff company had patent rights. Bats with and without “Don Bradman grips” were tendered. Mr Justice Harvey granted leave to serve .short notice for the hearing of the suit.
