examination of thle case.
me cDeapiaianm dm exmouea a patent dated
Stb of April, IMt. This is prima fade evidence of
a gee nua, ana pun oa tne respondents the nor
deo of proof that the patent la toM or worthless.
I Bead not repeat say remarks In Ibe coee of Good
year Day (3 Wall, C. C Hen ,) but now
adopt them as aflbrdlna a rule of decision which ap
plies clearly to the present ease.
Ae the Infringement of the patent Is admitted,
the only question will be as to the validity of eusa
nlatnenta oatent of April SViafiH.
"It was after epeeuUtion bad been redaeed to
practice," and alter repeated experiments, that the
complainant eneceeded in overcoming he prejudice
and ignorance of the people on the subject, and
persuading the pnMIc that bis Invention wasuseral;

and "wnca his genlas and patient perseverance, In

Norn The passage referred to bv Judge Orler In
his former deeis'on, X Wallace, p. 299, adopted as
fru'ivaww w Mil smro iwmm nm ii.iiuwpt
"It is nraallv the case, when snv valnabta din.
ary Is wade, or any new machine of graat utility Is
Invented, that the attention of the public has been
turniid to tbateubjeet prevloualy, and that many
persons have been making researches aod experl
mente. Pbilosnpners auif mechanicians mav have
in ssmo measure anncipniea in their sn-en'mon
the possibility or probability of sueb discovery or
invention) many experiments have been successful
ly tiled, coming vary near, yet falling short ot the
delrcd result. They have produced nothing bene
Cclal. The Invention when perfected may truly be
in uj wn uiv cnimiiMiing point 01 manv expert
nan a, not only by the Inventor, hut by many oth
ers. He may have profited indirectly bv the unsnc
caasful eaneriments and falluraa of nthnri. Kn i,
gives them ae right to claim a share of the honor of
uie prow oi rne aaccnaeiui inventor It Is when
specalstlon has been reduced to practice, when ex
periment has resulted In dlacovery. and when that
uiecovery oaa noes peneciea ny patient and contin
ued experiments, woen some new compound, art.

which Is useful to the pnblictbat the party making It
b-txomos apnblic benefactor and en titled to a palent.
.-And vet when genius and patient perseverance
have at length sneeoaded, In spile of sneers and
et-ots, some valuable Invention or diavo-ery, how
seldom Is it followed by reward I Knvy rnba blm
