JULES AUBRY, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I reside in the City, County and State of New York. I am the vice-president of the Cusenier Company, which is the respondent above named.

On or about the 7th day of January, 1905, a bill in equity by the above-named complainant, appellant, against the Cusenier Company, was filed in the Clerk's office of the [District] Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. A copy of said bill in equity is hereto annexed, marked A. Said bill prays injunctive relief and an accounting as follows: "That said defendant may be compelled to account for all the profits, gains, savings and advantages derived or received by it by reason of the unlawful acts herein complained of." An appearance and answer traversing the material allegations thereof were duly filed by the said Cusenier Company to said bill. The general replication was thereafter filed by complainant. Testimony was taken by both parties in support of the issues raised by said answer and replication. On or about the 26th day of November, 1907, a decree was entered thereupon, after a hearing, a copy of which decree is hereunto annexed, marked B. Said decree enjoined the said Cusenier Company from using certain alleged trade-marks, also from selling or offering for sale any liqueur or cordial not manufactured by complainant, in any dress or package like or simulating in any material respects the dress or package theretofore used by complainant. Said decree concluded as follows: "5. It is further adjudged,

ordered and decreed, that the matter be referred to John A. Shields, Esq., as Master, to take the usual accounting and report to this Court with all convenient speed the amount of defendant's profits by reason of the infringements and wrongs above referred to, together with the quantity of the infringing article now in possession or control of defendant or of any of its officers, servants or privies. 6. And it is further adjudged, ordered and decreed, that complainants do recover from defendant their taxable costs herein; and that execution issue for the same and for the amounts found due on the accounting."'

Subsequently thereto, the said Cusenier Company duly appealed from said decree to the Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States for the Second Circuit. Said appeal duly came on to be heard. Subsequently thereto, and on or about the 21st day of August, 1908, the said Circuit Court of Appeals, after argument on behalf of both parties thereto, duly rendered its decision modifying the injunctive part of said decree and in other respects affirming the same and affirming so much thereof as directed an accounting. The said modification consisted in inserting in said decree after the words "or any of the trade-marks above referred to or any colorable imitation thereof'' in the fourth paragraph of the said decree the following words: "unless so used as clearly to distinguish such liqueur or cordial from the liqueur or cordial manufactured by the complainants," and by striking out from the words in the same paragraph "from making use of any bottle or label or package," the words "bottle or," and by substituting therein for the word “package” the word "symbol," and by inserting in the same paragraph between the words "similar to" and "complainant's exhibit" the words "those appearing on." The order of said Circuit Court of Appeals therein is recited in its mandate. A mandate thereupon was duly issued from said Circuit Court of Appeals on or about the 22d day of August, 1908, a copy of which mandate is hereunto annexed, marked C. A copy of the order upon said mandate, which correctly recites the decision of said Circuit Court of Appeals, is hereunto annexed, marked D. On or about October 16, 1908, the said complainant obtained from the Honorable E. Henry Lacombe, United States Circuit Judge, an order allowing an appeal from the order for the mandate of the said Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, made and entered on October 21, 1908. Said appeal has been docketed and is now pending on the calendar of this court and is number 614 on the calendar for the October Term 1908. Its file number is 4410. A citation thereunder has been served upon the Cusenier Company.

APPELLATE FORM XXVI.-MOTIONS TO DISMISS AND TO

AFFIRM.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COM-
PANY, Plaintiff in Error,
against

DOMINICK AMATO, Defendant in Error.

Now comes Dominick Amato, the defendant in error, by Roger Foster, his counsel, and moves this Court to dismiss and quash the paper purporting to be a writ of error herein for want of jurisdiction and because the paper purporting to be a writ of error is informal, irregular and insufficient on the grounds stated in the annexed argument and upon other grounds; and the said defendant in error also moves this Court to affirm the judgments of the Circuit Court of Appeals and of the [District] Court herein upon the ground that it is manifest that the paper purporting to be a writ of error herein was taken for delay only, and that the question upon which it is claimed that the jurisdiction depends is so frivolous as not to need further argument.

ROGER FOSTER,

Attorney and Counsel for Defendant in Error.
