Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. This was a suit in equity by Henry Q-. Thompson and others against-Charles E. Jennings and others for alleged infringement of letters patent Ho. 328,019, issued October 13, 1885, to them, as assignees of the inventor, Thaddeus Fowler. The circuit court held that the patent was valid, but that defendants had not infringed. See 66 Fed. 57, where the opinion of that court, by LA COMBE, Circuit Judge, is reported in full. The complainants have appealed.
1Per curiam
Unless the patent in suit can he limited so as to cover only a hand saw or a hack saw, there appears to be no escape from the conclusions expressed in the opinion of Judge LACOMBE in the court below. It cannot be thus limited, in view of its unequivocal language. We deem it unnecessary to add anything to the opinion of Judge LACOMBE. The decree is affirmed, with costs.
