OPINION OF JCDGB GItlER.
As I write with difficulty I can only elate the con
elusion to which my mind bos couie after a carulu
examination of this case,
Tbe coninliilniiiit Iiks exhibited a patent diled
2Stll of April, lexio. Tills is prima fscieeviilence ol
a good title, aud puts ou the resKindents llie bur
den of proof that tbe patent is vuld or worthies.
I need not repeat my leinarks In the case of Good
year vs. Day (!l Wall, C. C, Rep; zW.) hut now
adopt them as all'ordlng a rule ol decision wuicli ai
piles clearly to the piesnut case.
Aa the infringement of tbe patent is admitted,
the only question will be a. to the validity oi com
plainants patent of April 513,1868.
'lt was after speculation had been reduced to
practice," and alter repeated exer1ments, that the
complainant succeeded in overcomlng'ho prejudice
and igiioranceof tlie people on tits subject, and
pemiitding the public tKui I' Is invention wns useful;
after be hud csMlillsiied its great utility and value,
and "when In. geutu and patient perseverance, In

Note The passage referred to bv Judge Orlcr In

app icAbie to this case was as lollou's:
