FAMOUS ADVERTISEMENT
IRISH LIBEL SUIT. APPEAL TO HOUSE OF LORDS. London, Dec. 20. In connection with Mr. J. B. Dunlop’s objections to the famous advertisement containing his portrait on the grounds that it is too foppish, the Dunlop Rubber Tyre Company appealed to the House of Lords against the decision of the Irish Courts to permit Mr. Dunlop to serve a writ and summons on the company’s registered office* in London. The appellants contended that the matter was outside the jurisdiction of the Irish Courts. The appeal was dismissed. The decision will enable Mr. Dunlop to bring the pending libel action against the company in Ireland. A message received last January stated that_Mr. John Boyd Dunlop, who invented the pneumatic tyre, was seeking an injunction to restrain the Dunlop Tyre Company from publishing his well-known portrait, on the grounds that it was too foppish, and that it annoyed him and his family.
