OPINION OP JUDGE GRIE&
A t write with difflcnlty I can only Mate the oon
elusion to which my mind baa eon after a carefu
."elimination of tliia cam, i
'the complainant baa exhibited a patent dated
SSth of April, 18116. Tula la prima facfy evidence of
iiwi hum, riu pin un mw rcvpunaanta ine Dor
dun or proof that the patent ' id or worthleae.
I neon not repeat my remarks In the eaae of Good
y" y yaJI, fc. Cl Ben H9.) but now
adopt them aa affordlnc a rule of deciaion which ap
plies clearly to the present esse.
Aa the Infringement of the patent la admitted,
the only question will be aa to the vaildltr of com
plainants patent of April S3, 185a
"It was after speculation had beon reduced to
praetlco," and alter repeated expeiiraenta, that the
complainant anecoeded in overcoming 'bo prejudice
and ignorance of the people on tho subject, and
persuading tho public that bis invention wa useful;
after bo had eetabllahcd ita groat utility and value,
and "when bia genln and patleut persoverance, In
spite or sneer and scoO," were completely suc
cessful, that Feed, who bad before made expert
mcnta on the same subloct, and waa nnsucceesful,
imagined that he bad the beat right to the Invention,
and after pttrchaalng one or more complainant's tor
uedoea. he applied on Mia let or November, 1807,
tor a patent for anbataatlally the aame combina
tion of device and etachino contained in complain
ant' patent. On the lath of the name mouth the
ruepondeuts formed themeolvcs Into a company or
corporation called "The Heed Torpedo Company,"
for the pnrpoaa of pirating the complainant' 1n
ventlon, and supporting the expense of miration,
and thna defraud him or the fruit. They have per
severed, even after the preliminary Injunction very
properly granted by the District Jiidgo.
lt a decree he entered for complainant for a per
petual Injunction, and a Heater appointed to take
an account according to the prayer of the bill.

Nrrre. The pasaape referred to bv .Tudpo Grlor In
hi former dectVon, Wallace, p. aw adopted aa
npp'lcable to thi caae wo aa follow: '
"It la usually the cor, when any valuable dWv.
ery la mado, or any new machine of (Trent utility I
Invented, that thealteullon of the public ha been
turned to that enbjeet previously, and that many
parson bave lsscn making reaearehea and experi
ment. Philosopher anil mechanician mav have
inaome measure anticipated In their apecu'lation
the possibility or probability of eueh discovery or
Invention; many experiment have been successful
)y tiled, coming very near, yet failing abort ol the
desired result. They have produced nothing bene
ficial. The invention when perfected may truly be
aaid to be the culminating point or many expert
men t. not only by the Inventor, hut by many oth
ers. He may have profited indirectly by ihe unsuc
cessful experiment and failures of others, but It
gives them no rltrht to claim a share or the he nor or
toe profit or the successful Inventor It I when
peculation baa been rcducd to practice, whou ex
periment has resulted in disioverv. and when that
discovery ha been perfect! d by patient ana contin
ued experiments, when eomu now compound, art,
maaufactme, or machine ha been thus produced
which la uecfnl to the piihlic,that the party making it
beeomes a public benefactor and entitled to a patent
"Aud yat when geulu and pntleut perseverance
have at length succevdud, In spite of sneers and
eotTa, some valuable Invention or disco-ery, how
seldom Is It followed by reward 1 Envy rob htm
of the honor, white speculators, swindlers, and pi
rate rob him or the profits. Every nnencccesFnl
experimenter who did or did or did not come very
near making a discovery now claims iU Every one
who can luvent an Improvement or vary It form,
claims a right to pint the orhrtnal diaeovnry. We
need not aueimon Mono, or Blanchard, or Wood
worth to prove that this I the usual history or ovo
rv ureal discovery or Invention.
