LAW REPORTS OF PATENT CASES. BY WILLIAM CARPMAEL, ESQ., MEMBER OF THE HONOURABLE SOCIETY OF LINCOLN'S INN, ENGINEERS, ETC., ETC. VOLUME I. LONDON: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY A. MACINTOSH, 20, GREAT NEW STREET. 1843. ADVERTISEMENT. WHEN this work was commenced, it was intended that the whole of the Patent Cases, up to the passing of Lord Brougham's Act, should have been published in one volume; that Act having materially altered the pleadings, and other points of practice, it was considered a New Series of Reports might with propriety have been commenced with cases since that Act; but it was found that such a course of proceeding would have caused the present volume to be of an inconvenient size; for which reason the original intention has been abandoned, and the present is now made the first volume of a general series of Reports.
