Opinion

Treat, D. J.

The case of Hartell v. Tilghman, 99 U. S. 547, is eonclnsive of this case. The plaintiff seeks to charge the defendants as infringers of the patent, despite the contract of license, in consequence of non-compliance with its terms. At first it seemed clear, under the contract, that the suit was well founded; but as the majority of the United States supreme court have taken an adverse view, nothing remains for this court but to dismiss this bill, and remit the plaintiff to the remedies indicated in that decision.

Bill dismissed, without prejudice.
