The Lord Chancellor Eldon said he could not put the seal to a patent which allowed fifteen months for enrolling the specification; that indulgence had been rarely granted. Mr. Lee's was a very peculiar case, being thought a most important discovery, and in time of war. If the present could be made out to be as beneficial, it would be doubtful whether a secret specification would be allowed; for his lordship was of opinion, that the legislature would pause a long time before they passed such an act in future; and he would venture to say, Mr. Lacy would not procure one. He could not establish a new principle, merely to prevent the French from smuggling; nor put the great seal to such a patent, without seeing the specification, for it might turn out good for nothing. The patent could not pass without the responsibility of the great seal, and if he sealed it, he might be called upon to give an account in parliament, why he had extended to this individual a particular privilege, which is contrary to the general policy of the law. He could not, in justice to the King's subjects, seal this patent, merely because it was a manufacture which other countries might wish to get.

Note. On this refusal, a new patent was made out, with six months for enrolling; it was sealed 30th September 1816. The invention was afterwards practised to a considerable extent, but did not succeed, and has been abandoned in favour of other machines having the same object.

Walker against Congreve in Chancery. An application for enforcing an Injunction previously issued against violating Walker's Patent of 1810, for Barrels for preserving and conveying Gunpowder. Heard 27th July 1816.

The Lord Chancellor Eldon said, "An injunction may be issued against violation of a patent which has been obtained with all the necessary forms, although on examination the patent may be found improper." Defendant might show reasons for dissolving the injunction, but was bound by it, whilst it was in force, and would commit a contempt in disobeying it. So an injunction might be issued against a public servant, who, as such, was not liable to the consequences of a private suit, and therefore an injunction ought not to have been issued; still the authority of the court must be respected, and the injunction dissolved by the court, not broken by the party against whom it issued. In cases of penalties for contempt, all alleviating circumstances were matters for consideration, and he would hear the case before deciding on the question of contempt.

From that hearing, it appeared very doubtful to his lordship whether the patent had really been infringed, or could be maintained; the powder-barrels made by defendant, which formed the

subject of complaint, being as much like some old ones, made years before, as they were like those described in the specification. His lordship said, that the injunction must be dissolved, and an account kept of the articles made by defendant, until the validity of the right could be tried at law. “The injunction had been granted upon the statement, that it was a new invention, and that the defendant, in addition to making barrels for the public service, had also supplied East India ships. After the injunction was made, it should have been observed, till dissolved by the court. I will treat government here as I would any other suitor of the court; andas there are grounds for believing the injunction violated, the defendant must pay the costs of this application."
