' I consider that the invention in question is a proper subject of letters patent according to the principles developed for the application of s 6 of the Statute of Monopolies, and is a manner of manufacture for the purpose of s 18 of the Act.  In light of these findings, it is unnecessary to consider further claims 2 to 4 of the Patent.'
