OPINION OP .TUUOB GKIRR.
A I write with dtlHculty t ran only state tho eon
clu-inns i6 which my mind hu conio after a carelu
exntuiiiatluu of this uaao.
The runwlaltunt haa exhibited a patent dated
28ti April, lWis. Tliln la prima fade evidence of
apoixl ttlle. end pitta on the respimdeot the bur
den of wo'if that the patent In void or worthless.
I nee not rpent my remark in the case or Good
year v.. rav (it Wall, C. O. Ken; but now
adopt ttitni as affording; a rule o( decision which an-uiio.tcteai-ty
to the present cise.
As tlin liiftiigemcnt of the patent Is admitted,
tbi only question will be na to Ibe validity of cum
plalasnia patent of April 111,1868,
"t was after epi'cul.ition bad hoen reduced to
