1 XOBERTS PETROLEUMTORPEDO CO TOEP JHjJD OES. THE ROBERTS PETBOLEUM JOEPEDO CD. Office at the Red Planing Mill one Near Clio Kallroad.) TITUSVIILE, PA. Owing to th laree and Inerenslne demand for the Roberts' Torpedoes, Hud the Into decision of the Commissioner of Patent in refusing to Wm. Heed patent, and the decision of Judge V. C. Grter sits aiuins the Knberts' patent they Have LOWKKKO ine price 01 tueir Torpedoes TWF.NTf PER CENT. DO that every Operator can adord lu try a Torpedo before abandoning a Well. The following is the decision rendered by 3 a Aft Grler on the twenty-second (U2) dny of September, Jm, in the United States Circuit Court at Phlladel- Shis. The case was argued three days bv Charles I. Keller or New York, B. t. Lacas and S. A. Pur vmnce of Pittsburgh, for defendants, nnd George Harding of Philadelphia, and George U. Christy, o. Pimuuigh, for nlalnuu'. OPINION OP JUDGE GIUER As I write with difficulty I can only Mate the con elusions to which ray mind has come after a carefu examination of this case. I Ttiu complainant has exhibited a patent dated ttth of April, 1SII6. This is prima facie evidence 01 a Kood title, aud puts on the respondents the bur dsn of proof that the patent Is void or worthless. I need not repeat my remarks In the cuse of Good year vs. Day (i Wall, C. U. Kep; 1KB,) but now adopt them as allurdiuK a rule ol decision which ap piles clearly to ttic present ewe. As the infringement of the patent la admit ted, the only questiou'will be-as to tho validity of cum ylainants patent of April 83,1858. "J was after speculation hud been reduced to practice." and after repeated experiments, that tu ejompl&innnt succeeded in over coming the prejudice and ignorance of the people on the subject, and sersuauing the puolic thai his invention was uscfu after he Had established its great utility and value and 'whcn bia genius and putient persever-mce, In pile ot sneers unu scols, ' were completely stlo e-sful, that Kced, who had before made expert znents on the same suhiect. and was uusiicct-tful. and after burcluuing one or more complainant's tor peuuee, ue appuca on me 1st oi November, iuti7, for a patent fur substantially the same combina tions uf devices and maciiiue couiained in complain, wit's patent; On the 16th of the same month the respuudeuts formed themselves into a company or corporation called "Jh Kecd Torpedo Cumpany, t r the purposo of pirating the complainant s in Tention, and supporting the expense? of lit igntlon, and thus defraud him of the fi uiis. They have per served, even after the prelimar Injunction very properly granted by tie jdstricr Judge: Let a decree be entered for comi hiinar t for a per petual Injunction; and m blaster, uppntnte ' to take an account accotUingly to the paver oftuejbill. B. C. UK1EU, Judge. Koti The passage referred to by Judge Grler In kit former dects'on, ii Wallace, p. 299, adopted as app lcabie to this anse was as follows: ''It Is usually the caso, when any valuable discov fry Is made, or any new machine of great utility Is invented, that theuttcntion of the.public has bees tnrucd to that subjeut previously, and that many persons have been making researches and experi ments. Philosophers nnd mechanicians may have in some measure anticipated in tht.tr n.niniinn.. the possibility or probability of aueh discovery or Invention; many experiments have been successful ly tiled, coming very near, yet falling short ol the desired result. Tuey have produced nothing bene nuini. The invention when perfected may truly e aid to be the culminating point of many experi ment, not only by the Inventor, bin by many oth. ors. lie may have prnllted Indirectly by the unsuc cessful experiments and failures of others, but It gives them no i-iiht to claim a share of the honor of ttie prom or the successful Inventor Jt Is when speculation has been reduced to practice when ex pertinent has resulted in discovery and when that discovery Inn he..-it perfected by patient mm contin ued experiments, when some new compound, art manutacuire, or mnohlne has been thus produced which I. useful to thepubllcthnttbepartymakingit beeumet apublic benefactor and entitledto a patent "And yet wueu guuins and patient perseverance have at length succeeded, In spite of sneers and seolfs, tomo valuable tuveution or cisco-ery, how seldom it It followed by reward I Envy robs him of the honor, while speculators, swlndleis, and pi rates rob him of the 'profits. Every unsuccessful experimenter who did or did or did not come very ear nuking a discovery now claims It. Kvery one who can Invent an Improvemeut or vary Its form, elailns a right to pirate tho original discovery. We need not summon Morse, or Blanchard, or Wood worth to prove that this Is the usual history of eve tj great discovery or invention. '-fhe present case auds another chapter to this long and uniform history ."a Wallace, 0. 0 lie porta p. 2" . CACflOJf.' The public Is antioned seatntt emnloring any t the reaulnrt authorized Agents of the Cumpa p, since tho Honeita Patent cover the use of the iorpedo and all explosive materials for oil wells, and the ne ol am:h materials by other parties it a direct Infringement of their tights. Anv parties in fringing any of the KOHEliTS PATENTS will be dealt with according to law, and as acting willfully and knowingly in defiance of law and the decisions of the Courts The Company have reorganised their business with a view to accommodate Oil Men in evcty part of the-Oil Hcgion. Thoy have employed the mot efilcient Agent and Assistants that can be procmed for the bnslne. lUch Torpedo is labelled with date f p Hems, together with the price of the Tor pedo, aud signed by an officer of the Company, so very Operator wishing a Torpedo may know its price nnd wliother It camo from our ofllcs.
