Office at Iho Red iLAic Mill, Corner ol Pine and Second Streets, , I (Near Itio Itatlrond,) ITUSVILLE, PA. Owing to the lnrie and Increniinc demand for the Roberts' Torpedoes, and the. late decision of tho Commissioner of Patent- In rvfu'lii!! to Wm. Hood a patent, and the decision of ilndu-c P. IV Oiler sus. tainlni; the Kolierts1 patent they have LOWEKED the prico of their Torpedoes TWEN'T PER C ENT, so Hint every Operator can a!lbrd to try "a Torpedo before abandoning a Well. The following is tho derision rendered by Jitik-c firier on lie twenty-second (ii) day of Sci'tonilH-r, lsi'.'.i, in tho Vnlted States Circuit Court nt Plclmlel phia. The case was anrnod lliree days by Charles Si. Kellir or New York, B Linns and S. A. I'nr-. viance of Pittsburgh, for defendants, and Oeoive Hardine of Philadelphia), and George 11. CluL-ly, o Pittsburgh, for pla'ntitf. OPINION OP JTDCiE GK1E1S. Ai I write with difficulty I can only state the eon elusion to which iny mind has come' nfter a careltt examination of this case, ,,.. J The complainant baa exhibited a pntentf dated 2.1th of April, lst5. This Is prima facte evidence ot a irood title, and pitta on the respondents tho bur den of proof that ttie patent is void yr worthiest. I need not re at myloniarks inllie caseof tiood vear vs. Day (1 Wall, V. V. Hop: 2511.) but now adopt them as allot-dina a rule ol decision widen ap plies clearlv to the present cine. A the infriiicemcnt of the patent la admh ted, the only question will be as to the validity of com plainants pateiit of April 33,1858. . "It was alter speculation had been reduced to practice." and alter repeated experiments, that the complainant succeeded in overcoming he prejudice and iunomnce of the people on the subject, ' ami por'lia.!iriir the public that Ills invention w as use'i:l; after he had established its great .utility and value, and "when his genius and patient perseverance, In spite or sneers and seotl's," were completely suc cessful, that Heed, who had before made experi ments on tUc same subject, and was unsuccessful, Inis'dncd that he had the best right tiitlieinvn:lon, and after purcluuing one of more complainant's tor pedoes, lie spoiled on the 1st of November, lsi-7, for a patent for' substantially tho same combina tions of devices and n achino contained in complain ant'a patent. Ob the 16th of the same month the respondent formed themselves Into a eominny or corporation called ''The Beed Torpedo Company, ' for the purpose Of pirating the complainant's- in vention, and supporting the expense or HlL-atlon, and thus defraud him of the Iriiits. They have per severed, even alter the preliminary Injunction very .n..,li rranted bv the District .Inline. Let a decree be entered for complainant for a per petual 'nhinctlfHi. and a Master appointed to take au account according to the prayer of the bill. wnv .Irhe nassarre referred to bv .Tndire Orlor In his fi.rmefdecis'on, 8 Wallnce, p. asm, adopted as applicable totlils case was as follows: "It is usually the case, when any valuable discov. ery la wauo, or uny new mauniue ui i:reiii uiiiuy is Invented, that thealtentlon f the public ha, been Uirnco. to llttu suiiiet-fc ,iu,m.hbij, nuu uitu many persons have been niakinc researches and experi ments. rnuuBopiu-i., nKuMniii.li, iiuiv imve in some measure anticiimted In their speculations the possibility or probability of sueh discovery or Invention; many experiments have been successful ly tiled, aiming very near, yet falliny short ot the desire1, result.

Every unsuccessful experimenter who did or dtd or did not come very near making a discovery now claims it. Every one wiio can Invent an improvement or vary its form, claims a right to pirate tho original discovery.
