WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
WRIT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
MELBOURNE, Tuesday.
The Postmaster-General, Mr. Frazer, has still managed to keep the secret of his wireless installation at the Melbourne station confined to himself and a few of his officials. In spite of this, however, the Australian representatives of the Marconi Company have evidently got something to go on in an action against the Commonwealth Government for the infringement of some of its patents. To-day it was made public that Messrs. Blake and Riggall, solicitors acting on behalf of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, Ltd., had issued a writ out of the High Court of Australia, directed against the Commonwealth of Australia. The writ asks for an injunction to restrain the Commonwealth from infringing the patent rights of the Marconi Company for the six States of the Commonwealth, damages or an account of the profits, and the delivery up of all infringed articles.
