A patent for a bushing or tapering ring of metal for the bungs of casks, with a screw thread on its outer surface and with a notched flange at the edge, so as to enable the bushing to be forced into place by a wrench having a projection to fit the notch, was reissued, nearly seven years afterwards, for a bushing without any notch. Held that the reissue was void.
