This was an Action on the case originally brought in the Court of Common Pleas by the defendants in error against the plaintiffs in error for infringing the patent, but the judgment was affirmed. The original case being of a similar nature to the issue tried in "Boulton and Watt against Bull," in Easter Term, 35, Geo. III, 1795, was not argued, and consequently is not found in H. Blackstone's Common Pleas Reports. It would appear that the original judgment went by consent in favour of Boulton and Watt, in order to allow Hornblower and Maberly to have the case retried on a Writ of Error.

NOTE.-A Communication from Mr. J. C.

His object in publishing Hornblower's account was to permit an injured (though perhaps hasty) man to defend his own cause and that of his family." Hornblower's later years were, it is added, rendered comfortable by the liberality of an opulent and scientific Swede. cf. also Edinb. Rev., xiii, 311-33, (1809); Encyclop.
