“MR. BETHELL on behalf of the Plaintiffs, Francis Wedgwood
and Robert Brown (who carry on the business of Potters, at
Etruria, in the Staffordshire Potteries, under the Firm of
‘Josiah Wedgwood and Sons’), moved for an Injunction against
the defendants, William Smith, John Whalley, George Skinner,
and Henry Cowap (who also carry on the business of Potters, at
Stockton, in the County of Durham, under the firm of ‘William
Smith and Company’), to restrain them and every of them, their
Agents, Workmen, or Servants, from stamping, or engraving,
or marking, or in any way putting or placing on the Ware
manufactured by them, the Defendants, the name ‘Wedgwood’ or
‘Wedgewood,’ and from in any manner imitating or counterfeiting
such name on the Ware manufactured by the Defendants since the
month of December, 1846, or hereafter to be manufactured by the
Defendants, with the name ‘Wedgwood’ or ‘Wedgewood,’ stamped,
engraved, or otherwise marked or placed thereon. M‘r. Bethell
stated that the trade mark ‘Wedgwood’ had been used by the
family of the Wedgwoods for centuries; he would not, however, go
further into the matter at present, because Mr. Parker appeared
for the Defendants, and it might become necessary--with whom,
and himself, it had been arranged by consent on Mr. Parker’s
application on behalf of the Defendants, for time to answer
the Plaintiffs’ Affidavits--that the Motion should stand over
until the Second Seal in Michaelmas Term next; and that in the
meantime the Defendants should be restrained as above stated;
except that for the words, ‘since the month of December,
1846,’ the words, ‘since the month of July, 1847,’ should be
substituted. Mr. J. Parker said he appeared for the Defendants,
and consented without prejudice; and on his application for time
to answer the Plaintiff’s Affidavits, the Court made an order
accordingly.
“On the 9th day of November, being the Second Seal in Michaelmas
term, 1848, Mr. E. Younge, as counsel for the above-named
Plaintiffs, moved for, and obtained, a perpetual Injunction
against the Defendants in the Terms of Mr. Bethell’s Motion,
substituting for the words, ‘since the month of December, 1846,’
the words, ‘since the month of July, 1874;’ the Defendants
consenting to pay to the Plaintiffs their costs.
