dough from a flat sheet was conceived, the difficulty seeins to have vanished, and \'lUCQeS8 followed the effort, as the only change made was to adapt the old letter dies to the shape of a bretzel."
Justice BlIATCHFORD, speaking for the court, and calling attention to the language of the decision below, that most of the prior unsuccessful attempts to make a machine to cut bretzels were in trying to draw out and twist the dough by machinery, rather than to cut out the form of a bretzel by a single die from a flat sheet, or else were endeavoring to cut bretzels with dies set in revolving cylinders, adds: "It also appears that those efforts were largl'ly made in attempts to cut out the bretzel by two oppositl' dies, and that as soon as the idea occurred of cutting the dough by a single die from a flat sheet success came at once, by merely changing the shape of the old single die. It also apppars, as suggested by the circuit court, that there was a prejudice against machine-made bretzels." . .
See, also, Florsheim v. Schilling, 5.3 O. G. 1737, 11 Sup. Ct. Rep. 20, (Nov. 10, 1890;) and County of Fonddu Lacv. May, 53 O. G. 1884, 11 , Sup. Ct. Rep. 98, (Dec. 15, 1890.) These cases strongly support the conclusion of the court in this case that the bill must be dismissed, w;ith costs, and it is accordingly so ordered.

Where the owner of the steam-ship A., which bad be6.n libeled by a cargo-owner, caused a steam-ship company to be made co-defendant under the flftr.-nintb admiralty rule, and the evidence upon the trial showed clearly that the libelant was entitled to recover against the A., though it did not clear up the dispute between the co-defendants, held, that, the libelant might take a decree against the A., !lnd the call6 should be continued as between the two defendants, rather than to Bend them to a new Buit.

to fespond for any judgment recovered by the libelant. After 80 long a delay, fOf the purpose of securing allllttainable evidence as between the defendants, the libelant's right to a decree, as it now appe:us from the testimony, should not be longer postponed; and a decree may therefore be entered in his behalf as againRt the Alert, which is no dou bt responsible to him, and an order of reference taken to compute his damages. The decree will be made without prejudice to the rights of the co-defendants as between themselves, or to any further decree that may be taken upon additional testimony as to the liability of the steam-ship company to bear the whole, or a part, of the same damages, or to indemnify the steamer in respect thereto. Instead of dismissing the steamshipc::ompany, the case, as between the two delendants, should, I think, be continued as between them, rather than send them to a new action; 110t merely in order to preserve the testimony already taken, but that the company may also be bound by the adjudicntion in regard to the amount of damages, in case the company should ultimately be held ans.werable thereforj it being not improbable that controvprsy may arise as to the rule of damages as well as to the amount. An interlocutor.)' decree may be entered in accordance herewith.
