THE PANGUSSETT. 1-09 �difference of itself is suflScierit to make the plaintiff's macliine more useful when in actual and frequent operation, inasmuch as the only difference between the machines lies in the bed, the conclusion must follow that the substitution of the defendants' bed in place of the plaintiff's bed was more than a mere colorable change of form. �My opinion, therefore, is that none of the eombinations claimed in the plaintiff's patent are to be found in the defendants' machine, and that the defendant cannot bo held to have infringed the plain- tiff's patent by the manufacture and sale of the lemon squeezer de- Bcribed in the bill. �The bill is accordingly dismissed, and with costs. ���The PANGt[SSETT. �The Yankee DoodijB. �(DisU-id Court, 8.

W. by W., which course she steadily kept to let the P. pa«8 on her port side, but the other's green light drew across her bow, and kept on till it appeared on her starboard bow, whereupon, the vessels being by thig time quite near, she kept off to let the P. pass on that side, but both the P.'s lights then appeared, when, by keeping off, she had brought the P. about abeam, showing that the P. had also kept off, and was heading directly for her, and the P. af ter thus keeping ofl lufEed just before the collision in order to go under the stem of the Y.
