, OPINION OP JUDGE CHIEIu
Ki I write with difficulty I run only rtate trie con
clnstoot to which my ininil baa come after a ckimih
exn'uinnrlon of this case. )
The complainant has exhibited a patent dated
251 II of Aimi, li-1'.V Tills Is prima facie evidence of
a pvkhI title, and pnts on the respondent the bur
4vn of prof that the. patent is Toi l or worthies.
I need not repent mvientaiks in the case ef (iood
veur vs. Day (i Wall, 0. C. Hep; list).) hut iow
adopt them as affording a rule oi decision which ap
plies clearly to the present u ise.
As the InfrinKement cf the patent is admitted;
the only question will ho ft to the valid. ty of com
plainant patent of April .!", HS8.
.r "It was after icculatloii hud been reduced to
practice," and alter repeated experiments, that the
complainant suceeediil in overrwninir'ho prejudice
and iitnoranccof the people on the subject, and
persuadinK the public that his invention wm awful;
niter he had e.tablishe.1 its (jre it ii'ility and value,
and "when his ireirus and patient persevcrunre. in
spite of sneers and scniVs,"' were completely snc
ceesful, that Koed, ho liadhetoro made experi
luent on the sime siil,je:t, nnd was uiincceiifui
Inii'dned that he lud the best ri.-ht t.it!ieinvenion!
and after purchasing on ot more complainant's tor
pmloc. ho ninilied on the 1st of November, 1817
f.ir a pitent for fuhitintlaiiy the same combina
tions of devices and i at hlne contained in complain
ant' patent. On the loth of the saiae mouih the
respondents formed thms.tlv,?s Into a compuiv or
cornoration ca.led "The Keed Torpechi Company,"
forth parpnevof plrutini tho complainaut'e ln-
ventiDti, andenppnriinuthe expanse of litigation,

his Termor deei.'on, a Wallace, u. 2!i:i adopted as
app icabie to this caso was as folloua: '
'It is usually the case, when any valuable discov
