In the Appeal Court, in the Totalisator case Francks v. Steads and others, judgment went for defendants with costs. The Court held that the machine of the defendants, while similar to the plaintiffs' in some respects, was not an infringement of his patent. Application was made for leave to appeal to the Privy Council. The Court, however, was of opinion they had no power either to grant or refuse leave.
In Srogden and others v. Queen, and Smythe v. Queen, the demurrer was upheld.
