After the decree in the test case the complainants were allowed time to show, if possible, that the defendants were still liable by rea- son of having, without license, used vulcanite. Though in fact no effort was made to establish such liability, the mere intimation of the purpose to do so cast upon the solicitor for the dentists the duty of examining each case to determine whether the party was exposed to the charge of using rubber. In the mean time the complainant sought to evade decrees against it for costs by having bills dismissed on its own motion, and in a number of suits obtained entries of that kind. These entries were, however, after hearing, canceled, and costs in those cases, as well as in many others, were allowed the defendants. The argument of the question of costs was participated in by Mr. Chandler, and the taxation was attended to by him. During this litigation, having entered his appearance for defend- ants in cases in the districts of Maine and New Hampshire, Mr. Chandler visited Portland and Portsmouth to look after and protect those suits. The whole number of suits in which this defendant ap- peared was 164. Costs were recovered in 124, exclusive of the test case. These costs amounted to $4-,662.70, exclusive of oHicers’ and witness fees, and were collected by Mr. Chandler from the Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Company, and the Celluloid Company, claiming that the same belonged to it, has commenced this action for their collec- tion, having first demanded payment.
