FEDERAL' REPORTER,
vol. 45.
transcript of the proceedings of the United States court in the case of Blackburn vs. Railroad Co. was necessary as testimony for defendant on the hearing of this cause, not as a part of defendant's muniment of title, but a.s evidence to defeat complainants' title. Defendant did not claim title through the proceedings in that case, and was not required to show any title in itself, if it could show a want of title in complainants. I am therefore satisfied that this item is properly taxed as part I")f the costs of the cause. The statute of the state made the certified list of lands sold by the sheriff for non-payment of taxes filed with the auditor a sufficient instrument to pass the title to the land sold from the delinquent taxpayer to the state, and for that reason it is presumed that the defendant has in its possession a certified copy of these lists, and so much of the item charged for a copy of these lists must be disallowed for the reasons stated. The defendant is not presumed to have in his possession a scriptoHhe proceedings of the levee boards, which wereptoperevidence on the hearing of the cause; but the bill of costs, as made out, does not show'what amount was paid for these transcripts. Therefore this item Inust be but with leave to retax the costs, so as to show the amount paid for these transcripts.' The result is that the matters arising upon complainants' motion will be referred to the clerk of this court to' retax the costs, as stated in this opinion.

While an exclusive right or property in a trade'mark or trade-name need not be confined to a single perllon, yet a trade-mark cannot exist in the name of the city in Which a thing is made by-manufacturers in that city, for anyone is at liberty to go to the 'City aDd manufacture. and falsely,d6signating the article made as coming from that city is e. fraud only.

to be enjoyed jointly or severally. Copartners, upon a dissolution of partnership, may stipulate that each of them may use the trade-marks of the firm, and there may be many other cases of joint and several ownership; but such co-owners will together be entitled to the exclusive use of the trade-mark, and perhaps· each of them will be entitled to such exclusive use as to all other persons except their associates in ownership. But this is very different from a claim by a resident of New York city, in common with all the other residents of that city, to the designation of an article as a New York article,-for example, New York soap, New York flannels, New York whisky, etc. Such a trade-mark cannot be maintained. A cigar manufacturer of Havana cannot maintain a claim of trade-mark in "Havana Cigars." If a dealer in New York sell cigars as Havanacigllrs which are not such, it may be fraud, but it is no viOO' Iation of a trade-mark which can be claimed by all the cigar-makers of Havana. It is open to all persons to go to Havana and manufacture cigars there; but It would be absurd to say that they would therebyac" quire a trade-mark in the name" Havana Cigars." So all cement manfacturers in Rosendale and its vicinity may rightly call their manufactured article "Rosendale .Cement," but any other. per50nmay go ·too Rosendale and manufacture cement there, and have the same right." There is no exclusive property in the name, even in those who now 1"6;Elide. there, or carryon the manufacture there. It is open to all the world. In our judgment there is not, there cannot be, any trade-mark' in the name of the place. . c
