OPINION OF JTJDGH GKIER.
Aa I write wtttt dtlRenlfy I can only state the coo
hwioDS to which my mind haa come after a carom
anamination of tbla cava ' - . 1
In. eomnlalnant haa exhibited a patent datrd
25th of April, itme. This in prima facieevidence uf
a good title, and rrts on tlie respondents the bur
avn of pronf that the patent id Told or worthless.
I need not rrrnat my remarks in the case of Uood
year . Day (S Wall, & ft Hep, SK9,) but now
adopt them as affording a rale ol decision widen ap
piiee clearly to the present case.
Aa the intrlnrement of the rstent admitted,
the only qneatlon will be aa to the validity of com
plainants patent of Aortl 23,1888.
"It was after ppxaijiion had been reduced to
practice," and alter repeated experiments, tliat the
complainant aawwded in nvcrcomlns-ho prejudice
and jiDOraoceof the people on the enhjwt, and
persuading tbe pnslis that hta invention was asefui;
after he h.td established its ere.it utility and vatu.
aad "when his genius and patient perseverance. In
pite of snner. and scoffs," were completely sue
eeasful, that. Hued,- who had before made experi
ments on the .mio subject, and was unsuccessful,
imagined that he had the best rhrht to the invention,
and alter purchasing one or inoro complainant's tor
twine, he aiinlhxl on the 1st of November, 16H7,
for a trttertt for enbsmntially tlie same combina-
tiona of devices and machine contained in comnlaln-
ant's patent. On the 16th of the same month the
respondent formed themselves into a company or
nrporation called "The Reed Torpedo Companv,"
(or tae purpose of piratlnz the cumplaiaaut's. in
vention, and supporting the expense of litigation,

Horn The passage referred to br Jndeo Orler In
Ilia farmer dseis'on, 3 Wallace, p. 209 adopted as
applicable to tlds case was as follows:
"It Is usually the case, when any valnable discov
ery is -pnue, or any new macntne or irreat utility Is
invented, that tbeattontlon of the public has been
tamed to that subject prevloasly, aud that many
powjna have been making researches and experf-
