As I write lth difficulty I cau only emu the con elusion i to which my aiind baa com after a oatelu examination of this case, 'Die complainant -baa exhibited a patent dated th of Airll,,18tt6. This ia prima faciuevldenca of a good title, ..udpouoe tha raepoudeuta Hie bur den of proof that Ibe patent la Told or worthies). I need not repeat my remark in tbe eaae of tiood , year vs. Day (il Wall, C. C Kept sa,i but now adopt them aa affording a ml 01 decUion which ap pile clearly to that present oat. As the infringement of the patent la admitted, tbe only question will be a to tha validity of com plaining patent Of April S3, 1868. "It waa after peculation bad been retraced to practice," and after repeated experiments, that tbe complainant aaaeeeded in overcoming -he prejudice and ignorance or the people on the subject, and persuading the public that bit invention wasuseial: niter be had established ita great utility and value, end "when hie geuius and patient perseverance, in spite of sneers and scoffs," were completely suc cessful, that Ifeed, who bad before made experi ments on tin subject, and was unsuccessful, iinnucd that be had the beat right to tbe Invention, and after purchasing one or more complainant's to? Jiedoes. he apulied on the 1st of November, lWrT. or a patent for substantially the aaine combina tions of devices and uachiuocontalnod in cpmnlain tint's patent. On tha 16th or tbe some mSnth the respondents formed themselves into a eoniDanr or corporation called "The Keed Torpedo Company." lor the purpose of pirating the outnplalnaui's in vention, andaupporting ; tha expenae or litigation, and thus defraud him of tha fruits. They have per revered, even after the preliminary Injunction verv properly grated by tbe Wistriot Judge. n Let a decree be entered for comulaTuant for ner petnal injunction, and a Master appointed to uka an aecouut according to the prayer of the bill. 0.
