Syllabus

<p>Where the supreme court reversed the court below, on the ground that a geographical term, as applied to coal, cannot be adopted as a trade-mark, that court will not grant a re-argument, or modify their decree because the master and the court below found as a fact that, in the use of the term by the defendants, there was the intention to deprive complainants of that which, by the expenditure of money, time and labor, had become a valuable property, and to cause the public to believe that the coal sold by the defendants was the coal mined by the complainants.</p> <p>The decree imposing the costs in the court below upon the appellees will not be modified, in such case, so as to impose them upon the appellants.</p>
