L.nca ana n. a. 1'ur vlanoy of Httabnrgb, for dcfondniilg, nnd Geor"or OPINION Off JUDGE GIUEIt As I write with difficulty I can only state the con elusioiia to which my mind baa come after a carelu- examination or this case, i Tho complainant has exhibited a patent dnted 86th of April, 1866. This is prima facleo ionce of dun of proof that the patent is Told or worthless. I neea not repeat, my remarks In tho cose of Good year vs. Day (Ii Wall, C. a Hops SS!,) hat now adopt them as affording a rule of decision which an plies clearly to th o present cut. Aa the Infringement of the patent Is admitted, the only question will be as to the volid.ty of com. . plainants patent or April 25, 1858. 'It was after speculation hud been reduced to practice," and alter repeated experiments, that the complainant succeeded in overcoming -ho prejudice and ignorance of the people on the subject, and persuading the public tluil his Invention wasoscful; after ho had established Its grant utility and value, and "when his genius and patient perseremnco, in spite or sneers and scofTs," were completely enc cssfnl, that Heed, who had before made experi ments on the aamp snbloct, and was un.ncce.Wul, imagined that he hud the best rhrbt totlieinventlon and after purchasing one or more complainant's tor pedoea, he applied on the 1st of November, 1887, tor a patnnt for substantially tho same combina tions of devices and machine contained in complain ant's patent. On the 16th or tho sumo month the respondents forniod themselves into a company or anrnaminn eitllnil 'Ph T ... . . . - - " ........ . ui imij vummuvr for the pur of pirating the complainant's in vention, andsnpportuig tho cxponso of litigation, and Urns defraud him or the fruits.

K. C. UK1CII, Judge. Worn. The passage referred to bv Judge Grler In his former decie'on, 8 W alluce, p. 200 adopted as applicable to this case was as follows: ' "It is usually the ease, when any valuable discov ery is made, or any new machine of great uii.lty Is Invented, that theattention of tho publio has been turned to that subject previously, and that many persons have been ninkinz research,, ni f. inenls. 1'hUosophers and mochaniclons may have ......... ,,, ulB,r snectt'ations the possibility or probability or such discovery or invention; many experiments havo been successful ly tiled, comlufvory near, yet falling short of the 2e?'!iediS8u V- ThL'y have produced nothina bene flcial. The Invention when perfected may truly be said to be the culminating point of manv cxpeil men s, not only by the inventor, but by many oth ors. He msy have profited indirectly by tho iiiiMio oassrnl experiments and failures of other, but it (rives them no right to claim a share or tho hruor of Ike profit of the successful Inventor It is when speculation has been reduced to practice, when ex periment has resulted In disnwery, and when that discovery has been perfect, d by patient and contin ued experiments, whon some now compound, art, manufacture, or maohino has been thus produced which Is useful to the public,that the party making it beeomes a public benefactor and entitled to a potent. "And yet when genius and patient perseverance have at length succeeded, In spile or sneers and eon's, some valuable Invention or dlaco-ery, how seldom Is it followed by reward I Envy robs him or the honor, while speculators, swindlors, and pi rates rob him or the profits. Every nnsaceessful experimenter who did or did or did not como very near making a discovery now claims It. Every oua who can Invent an improvement or vary its form, claims a right to pirate tho oritrmal discovery. We need not summons Morse, or Blanchard, or Wood worth to prove that this is th usual history of eve ry great discovery or invention. "The presint ease aods another chapter to this king and nniform history." 3 Wallace, C. C. it porte p. 898, . . . CAUTION. The public Is eantloned seainst employing any h t the regularly authorised Agents of the Uornpa li), since the Konerts l'atent cover the use of the Torpedo and all explosivo materials fur oil wells and the use of such materials by other parties Is a direct Infringement of their rights. Any parties in- fringing any ol the KOBHKtS PATENTS will be dealt with accorifiug to law, and aa acting willfully and knowingly In defiance of law and the decisions of the Court The Company havo re organized tholr business with a view toaocommodale Oil Men In every part of the Oil Keglon. They have employed the most elllcieut Agents and asslslnpta that can bo proenred fer the business. Each Torpedo is labelled wt, dale af patents, together wilh tho price of tho Tor pedo, and signed by an olUcer of the Company, so every Operator wishing a Torpedo, may know its price and whother it came from our ollio.
