FORM LVI.-MASTER'S WARRANT OR SUMMONS IN PATENT

CASE.

[From record in 101 Fed. 126, 41 C. C. A. 250. This is the usual form in the Second Circuit. In Beckwith v. Malleable Iron Range Co., 195 Fed. 291, D. C. E. D. Wisc., Judge Sanborn quashed such a summons because he held that Eq. Rule 79 of 1842, now Eq. Rule 63, did not apply to such an accounting. The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit subsequently granted a mandamus directing the court below to require the defendant to account under Eq. Rule 79, without passing upon the question whether the summons was too broad. Re Beckwith, C. C. A., 203 Fed. 45, S. C., C. C. A., 201 Fed. 518. See S. C., 207 Fed. 848, supra, § 389a.]

No. 365. In Equity.

Pursuant to the interlocutory decree herein, and the order of the master requiring a statement in writing of the lever buckles and pencil holders with lever buckles attached, containing or embodying in any manner the device described and claimed in claims 1, 2 and 3 of letters patent of the United States, numbered 172,527, dated January 13, 1876.

Schedule "A," hereto annexed and made a part of this return, contains all sales made or buckles specified in claims 1, 2 and 3 of said patent, from June 14, 1881, to January 18, 1893, together with the names of the persons to whom they were sold, the date when sold and the prices obtained therefor.

Schedule "B" contains a statement of the cost of each of the several kinds of buckles embraced in schedule "A."

Schedule "C" contains a statement of the cost of the buckle and pencil holder combined.

Schedule "D" contains a statement of the cost of the buckle and button combined.

Schedule "E" contains a statement of the number of each of the several buckles sold, the price received therefor, the cost thereof deducted, showing the net profit or gain derived from the sales of such lever buckles.

Schedule "F" contains a statement of the number of buckles combined with the pencil holder that were sold, the price received therefor, the cost thereof deducted, showing the net gain or profit thereof derived from the sale of the combined buckle and pencil holder which last schedule is filed under protest, under the assumption that said pencil holder was not a patented article, and not within claims 1, 2 and 3 of said patent, and that the buckle, and the buckle alone, should only be accounted for.

It will be borne in mind that the sales made to E. Faber, as shown in

schedule "A," are the same buckles that were used in connection with the pencil holder, and are included in the statements shown in schedule "F." All of which is respectfully submitted.
