A SWEEPING VICTORY * " Any person in Canada is free to make Tubular Separators with the e'xcoption of the steadying dovioo, and practically free to make that provided it is not made like Sliarplos. Such is the substance of the judgment rendered on Monday, the 8th inst., by Judge lUu'bidgo, in Sharpies vs. Ourselves. It is all wo contended for and wo are per fectly satis fied. Tlie Sharpies people have lost in tliisi case prnoticall y all they contended for, and their position now in icgard to their nuich vaunted patent is, to say the least, extremely ridiculous. Should the Sharpies Company, or any of their agents, make the claim that this statement is not correct in all points nsk them to produce Judge IJurbidge's written judgment. We will sell you for four cents a better steadying device than Sharpies' and one which .Judge Bur- bidgo in his judgment held was no infringement on Shar[)les's patent.
