OPINION OP JCDGB GKIEtt.
An I write with diltlcnlty I can only Mate the con
elusions to which my mind has come after a ciirein
exainiuation of this ciise. I
The coni'ilainuut ha exhibited a patent dated
iutli of April, ldliS. This is prima facie evidence of
a good title, and puts on the respondent the bur
den of pro'if that the patent is void or worthless.
1 need not repeat my remarks tn the case of Good
jwirvs. Day(i ttall.-C. C. Kep; sal.) but now
adopt them as flordiiu a rnlo oi decision which ap
plies ciearly to tne present cso.
As the infringement of thu patent Is admitted,
the only question will bo as to the validity of com
plniuants patent of April !i, ism.
It was after speculation had been reduced to
practice,-' and alter ropoated experiments, that the
complainant succeeded in overcoming-lie prejudice
and ignorance of the people on the cubfect, and
persuading the public thai his invention was useful
after he had established its great utility and v.iiue
and "when his genius and patient perioverance, in
pile ol sneers and icon's," wjre completely suc
cessful, that Iteed, who had before made experi
ments on the s:ime subject, and was unsuccessful
liinuriued that he h:id tile best ifcjht totlieinvenliou
a id after purchasing one or more complainant's tor
pedoes, he applied on the 1st or November, ISliT,
i.r a patent lor snbstautially the same combing
Hons of devices and uacliiun contained in complain
ant's pateut. On the 15th of the same month the
wpondents formed themselves into a company or
torpomtiou called "The Keed Torpedo Company."
ior the purpose of 'pirating the complainant' in
.ve.ition. and atippartins tl expense of litigation,
iind thus defraud him of the fruits. They have uer
HCvered. even after) the preliminary injunction very
property granted by the District Judxe.
Let a ducrue be entered for complainant for a per
petual injunction, and a Master appointed to Lake
an account according to the prayer of the bill
.K. V. GUIiili, Judge.
Note The passage referred to bv Judra Orier In
Lis iormer dw.i'ou, i Wallace, p. 2asi a40Btcd a
. applicable to this case w as as follows: '
It is usually tho case, when anv valuable d!cov.
cry Is wade, or any new machine of pvat nti.itv is
Invented, that tueattention of the public lias been
turned to that atibjuel provkmsly, and that 11111117
persons have been making researches and expert
inouts. Philosopnersanu meehaiiicjaiis mav have
in s.me measure aniicipiUed in tlMr pcipations
the pos-iuiilty or probability of such discovery or
invention; many experiments havo been Mtccoa-ful-ly
tiled, comiiifc' very near, yet falling sliort.ol the
tleird re3u t. They havo produced noihin" Vue

s, vt only by the inventor, hut by many oth
ers He may liave pmilted inlirecily by the tinuc
fessful experiments and failures of other, but it
Kivos thorn uu rL'ht to ciitm eh'ire of the hrm.r of
u.e prolit of the successful inventor Jt is when
peculation lias been reduced to Mractiee, .when ex
periment hits resulted in discover, and when ti nt
discovery has been perfected iiy patient mm contiii
tied expeginouts, when some neiv compound art
lieii.uiacture.orinaeiiiiio ha. been ihu. nrodmred

Hcofts, Boiuu valuable ineention or diaco-orr, how
Beldom is it lo.lowed by reward ! Kuvy rus him
o the honor, whoe speculators, swlndlen, and pi
rate, run him of the proilts. Every un.uccessliil
experimenter who did or did or did not como very
near miking a discovery now claims it. .Every ons
who can invent an improvement or vary Its form
claims a right to pirate the original discovery. We
need nut summons Morse, or Blanc-hard, or Wood
worth to prove tlint this is the usual history of eve
ry great discovery or invention.
