U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York June 19, 1889 (Dobson v. Cubley)

Wallace, J.

The question in this case is whether banjos made conformably to the patent to Edwin J. Cubley, dated April 3,1883, are an infringement of the patents granted one to Charles E. Dobson, dated May 14, 1873, and one to Henry C. Dobson, granted November 18, 1881, for improvements in banjos.
