The case is now bef ore the court on a rule granted upon the defendants to show cause why an attachment should not issue against them tot violating the injunction.

It is certainly true that in the "Lloyd coffee-mill" the hopper and grinding- shell are cast separately, but they are mechanically attached together before they are suspended within the box. This union is thus effected: The hopper is provided with two wire pins cast ia it, one on each side of the lower opening, and the lower end of the hopper has an annular shoulder around it, against which the grinding-shell is placed. The grinding-sheU has a lug on each side, corresponding in loca- tion with the pins of the hopper, with holes for their reception. The hopper and grinding-shell are securely and firmly united by inserting the annular flange of the latter into the lower end of the hopper, and the pins of the hopper into the holes in the lugs of the grinding-shell, and then bending the pins sidewise. �Why, sinoe the injunction was granted, have Landers» ��� �
