“ He that calleth a thing into his mind whether by impression or recordstion, cogitateth and considernth ; and he that employeth the faculty of his fancy also cogitateth.” —Loed Bacon.

It is a curious thing (remarks the New Zealand Times) that hitherto the Cassell Company, - the assignees in New Zealand of McArthur and Forrest, the patent-

The Cassell Co. • 'and the Cyanide Process.

ees, have been entitled to reap such a rich harvest from . the

patent of the cyanide of potassium process. In 1852 Mr W. D. Boehm, obtained a patent in New Zealand for a process of saving gold by means of cyanide of potassium, and this patent has never been invalidated. In 1893 Dr Gaze, of Westport, applied for a patent for a process in which he used a chloride, bromide, or iodide of potassium. This was objected toon the part of the Cassell Company, on the ground that it infringed their patent, which included cyanogen and every compound yielding cyanogen, and the Registrar of Patents decided this point in favour ef the Cassell Company. Dr. Gaze lodged an appeal, but partly on the ground that success meant probably a victory for the general public at his expense, did not proceed further. At the present timp- there is pending in JSydney an action in which a MiHay is attacking the patent known as

the’ McArthur-Forrest Patent,’ pf which, in New South Wales the Afrian‘ B Gold Recovery are the assignees, Messrs Ellison and Simpson, of Sydney, are conducting the case for the plaintiffs, and collecting evidence in New Zealand through their agent Mr W. R. Haselden, of Wellington, A commission is about to sit f o take evidence in the case.
