JDUCiE CRIER, i As I write with tHIflculty I can only state the con elusions tn which my mind hw come alter a carelu. examination of this case. Thu comolalnant lias exhibltedranatont:,i1ntrt 25th of April, W6. This is prima facie evidence nt a good title, nua puts on tue respondents thn bur den of proof that the pateut is Told or worthless. I ncc.1 not rein at my remarks in the ease of Oood year vs. Day (2 Wall, C. C. Hep; a.) but now ailopt them as affording a rule ol decision which ap plies clearly to tho present esse. As the infringement of the patent Is admll ted, the onlv question will bo as to the validity of com plainants patent of April 2-i.lHM. "It was after speculation had been reduced to pmctleo," and alter repeated exiieriiuetits, that the complainant succeeded in nverconiinghe prejudice and ignorance of the people on the subject, and persuading the public thai his invention wasnse.'ul; after ho had established its great utility and value, and "when his genius and patient pcrsoverance, in spite of sneers and acotTV were completely suc cessful, that Heed, who had Before made experi ments on the same subject, nnd was nniicce.-l'ul, ImiLdned that he had the best right tn the Invent Ion, and alter purchasing one or more co.'iipl.iinnnt's tor pedoes, he applied on the 1st of November, lSiT. for a patent for substantially the snriie combina tions of devices andn nrhlno contained in complain ant's patent. On the 16th of tho same month the respondent formed themselves Into a company or corporation called "The Keed Torpedo Compnv," for the purpose of pirating the complainant's in vention, aud supporting the expense or litigation, and thus defrond him of the fruits. They have per severed, even sfttr the preliminary injunction very properly granted by tho District Judge. Let a dscroe he entered for complainant for a per petual Injunction, and a Master appointed to take an account according to the prayer of the bill. 11. C. CRIER, Judge. Nons. The passage referred to by Judge Grier in his former decis'ou, 8 Wallace, p. 29ft, adopted as app'icnble to this case was as follows: It is nsuilly tho case, when any valuable di.cov. cry is ssade, or any new maehiue of great uil.lty i Invented, list thcnltention of ths public has been Inrned to that subject previously, and that many persona have lieen making researches nnd errptri nionts. 1'lnliHMpticri nnd mechanicians may Live nisiinenusure anticipated iu their specu'ntions the possibility or probability of such discovery or invention; many experiments have been successful ly tiled, comity very near, yet railing short ol the lie-iied result. They have produced nothing hene flcial. The invention whet, perfected may truly be said to be the culminating point or manv export men e, not only hy the inventor, but by many oth ers. He may have profited indirectly hv the nnsno rMsfitl exiHirimenta and failures of other., hnt n give them no right to claim a share of tbe hennr of tile prom in me suwiitiii inventor u is when peculation has beea reduced to practice, when ex lieiiineut ho resulted In discovery, and when that di-coveiy has been perfected hy patient nnd contin ued experiments, when some new compound, art. manufacture, nr machine has been thus produced which la useful to tbcpuhllcthatthepnrtymakingit becomes apublic benefactor and entitled to a patent. Aud yet when geuins nnd patient perseverance have at length succeeded, in epito of sneers and scoffs, some valuable Invention or oisco-ery, haw seldom is il followed liy reward ! Envy robs him of the honor, while speculators, swindlers, and pi rates rob him of the profits, Every unsuccessful experimenter who did or did or did not come very near making a discovery now claims It. Kvery one who cau invent an Improvement or vary its form, claims a right to pirate tho original diseovery. We need not minimons Morse, or lllanebnrd, or Wood worth to prove that this is the usual history of eve ry gr-at discovery er invention. "The present case adds another chapter to this long and uniform history." 2 Wallace, C. C. He ports p. 292.
