Aa llio infrlnnemcnt of the patent li admitted, the onlv rJnttiou will he aa to the validity of com plainants patent of April SS, 1868. "It was after speculation had been reduced to practice." and alter repeated experiments, that the complainant succeeded in tivercoming-be prejudice and Fnaoi ince of the people on the subject, and perau;idli- the public that Ms Invention wnse.1il; alter he luij stahliahed lta great utility and value, and "when hie gnhi and patient perseverance, in apile of sneers and scoff," wcr0 wnniletely suc cessful, that Heed, who had before made expert mentsontliesHiueanlijoct, and wna unsuccessful, imigined tli.it he had the best richt totlielnvention, nd after purehning one or more complainant' tor Tmloes. he aoulU-d on the 1t of November, 1867, for a p itent lor snlwtantUlly the same combina tions of device and u ai'hirwcontalued in complain kut's rmtent. On the 16th or the same month the respondents formed themselves Into a company or emigration called "The Reed Torpedo Company," for the purpose of pirating the complainani'a in vention, etid supporting the expenae or litigation, and thus deft-nud him of the fruits. They have per severed, even after the preliminary Injunction very properly gran.ed bv the District .Indue.

The passage referred to bv .ladse Grler In his former deeVon, 8 Wallace, p. 299, adopted aa applicable to this case was as follows: tj-It la tiMlly the case, when any valnabla discov ery Is aiade, or any new machine or treat utility Is Invented, tlut theattentlnn of the public has been tamed to tUat snhjeet previously, and that many perilous have Imcu making researches, and experi ments.

Every unsnccessml experimenter who did or did or did not come very r(-niklii a discovery now claims It.
