OPINION OP JTIXJE GHIEU.
A I write with dilflcully I enn only ntnto the con
thmions to which my mind has come after a varolii
vimlnatloii of this avta.
Tb com ilaiii iut Ims exhibited pntont dntrd
J6th nf April, MB. This is prima facie evidence of
n tfooit title, and put on the respondent. tt.e lmr
