Mrs May Sues Over Jail Lock Patent Infringement Claim

Mrs Sarah May of Indianapolis filed suit in the United States Circuit Court against the Erie county commissioners seeking 3200 dollars for infringement of her late husband Edwin May’s patent. The contrivance allows jailers to lock prisoners in their cells without contact by a guardian. The system is widely used nationwide and patent expired in 1850, but the suit contends infringement occurred in counties where detention facilities exist.
