OPINION OP JDlMiE CHI Ell. At I wilte with difficulty I can only state the con elusions to which my mind has coma after a carefu xirainntlon of tills case. 1 Tbe oumplainint, tins exhibited "a'patcnt dated Kill of April, 15. This Is prima facie evidence of a good title, and puts ou tlie respondents the bur den of pra f that the patent Is void or worthless. I neel not repeat mv remarks in the case of Good :yir vs. Day 'i Wall, 0. V. Hep; VS!I.) but now adopt them as aftbrdinz a rule ol decision which ap p.les clearly to thopieswit eise. As tho infringement of the pabont Is admit ted, the only qtuetion will bo m to the validity of com plainants patent of April SlsM. 'It was after speculation had been reduced to prftct ice," and alter repeated experiments, Hint the con plain ui t sueeeisled in nvercojiliu;he prejudice and Ignorance of the people on the subject, and persuading the public that his Invention wiisuse.'u!; after he had established its grw.t u'illty and value, and "when his genius and patl ant perseverance, in spite of sneers and aeon's," w-re completely sue ceasful, thnt Heed; who haft before made experi ments on the same subject, t rod was unsuccessful, iiniglned that he hid the tier t right to the invent Ion, I aid after purchasing one ot more complainant's tor pedoe. he applied on the 1st of Novunbor, 1867, for a pitent for substantia lly tho same comhina tkns of devices audi urhiafcnitiiinedin complain ants patent. On the 1Mb ot the same month the repimdeota formed themselves into a company or corporation called "The Reed Toredo Company," for the purpose of pirating the complainant's in vention, and supporting the expense of llthratlou, ai d thu defraud him of th fruits. They liave pc severed, even sftw the pre ilminory Injunction very propfrlv granted bv the D istrict Judge. lit a'd-crea le entered for complainant for a per Actual injunction, and a '.(luster appointed to take a mccouut accocdiDg to the nrayer of the bill. H..O. GUiEK, Judge. Note. The passage referred to bv .Tudire Orler In Ilia former deChVon, 3 Wallace, p. 209, adopted as mpp'lcabce to this casa was as follows: 'It 1 nsusJry the i;ase, when any valuable dljcijv. erjte made,. or any new machine of prtiu utility is Invented, that thetsltention of the public has been 'turned to that subjeet previously, and that many persona have been making researches and expert 'meats. Phllosuplu rs and mechanicians mny have 'to some measure anticipated in their p.-eu'ntlons the possibility or probability of such discovery or invention; many experiments have beeit'snccessful ly tited,t:omiutf very near, yet falling short ot the ltfs.irelil9Ult. They have produced noihiiisr bene flVlnl. The Invention whet perfected tuny truly tie e.ld to be the culminating point or nmiir experi inten a, liot only by the Inventor, bnt by many otu 'firs. lie may have 'profited indirectly by the iineno-re-gful experiments und failures of others, but it elves theui no riuht to cls:m a share of the henor of ll'.e prollt of the' successful inventor H Is when speculation has been reduced to practice when .ex-. 'pertinent has resulted in discovery, nnd when that discovery has been perfected by patient ana contui ui experiments, when some now compound, art, manuiHCtttie, or machine has been ihu produced : which la useful to the ptibllc.that the port y making it bsnomes a public benefactor and entitled to a patent. Aud yet wtien genius and patient pen-overimce have at length succeeded, in ar.l'.e of suters, and fvofft. aome valuable invention or dlsco-ery, how eldom is It followed by rewind I Envy robs him of the honor, while speculators, swindle. ., nnd, pl rstre rob him of tho profits. Every un.ucce.slul experimenter who did or did or did not come very Bear making a discovery now claims it. i-very ouj who can invent au Improvement or vary ita furir claims a right to pirate tho orhrinal discovers1. We ued not summons Worse, or Blanchurd, or Wood worth to prove that this is she uauul history of eve ry great clacovtry or invention. .... "The present case aods another chapter to this longand uniform blatur."-a Wallace, C. C Ka peita p. SOL y CAUTION. The public Is cautioned seninst eniplnyint; any but the reeularly authorized Ageuts uf the t'ompa i j . since the Kobe' ts Patent cover the use uf the V rpedo and all explosive materials for oil wells, and the ne of m' h materials bv other parties is a illra.. twf, tmromniit nf llifir Hilits.
