jury. Sealshipt Oyster Systems
Joreign corporation, vs. William H.
Drake and Richard W. Erickson.
copartners. Grand Rapids. Mich.
Wednesday. p. m.. March 29. 1911

The Court (Perkins. 1.): The mo-
tion to take this case from the Jury is
based upon two grounds.

First. that there is no testimony to
go to the jury on the subject of the
defendant's liability for lniriulsment
of trade mark. or on the "subject of
damages. '

secondly, that the trade mark in
controvorsy in this case is not a valid
trade mark.
