SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT. THE Defendant, JOFN GERMAN HARRISON, havi ng persevered in the sale of Safes constructed on the princi ple of Milner 's Patent, in defiance of the verdict found against him in June, 1851, in the Court of Queen's Bench, and an In junction afterwards awarded against him by the Court of Chancery (he pretending that the Safes sold by him since the first trial were not infringements, but made under a patent granted to Messrs. Sann), a second action was brought on the suggestion of Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, to try whether such safes were or were not infringements on Milner's Patent. This action was tried on the 25th June last, before Lord Campbell and a special jury. The following extracts from the learned Judge's address to the jury in summing up will show distinctly the questions submitted to the jury : Lord Campbell.—" I own it seems to me that Mr. Harrison does not appear before you in very advantageous colours from these proceedings. He had been in the service of Messrs. Milner, and while in their service he takes another shop, and there he begins and sells fire-proof boxes which were agreed by a jury sitting where you now are to b e substantially the same as those of Milner, the Patentee, and that record has been given in evidence: you are not bound by it, but you may at tend to it; and I must own that I do not see any reason to believe that the jury who sat on the trial of that cause were in any respect mistaken in point of fact, and I do not discover that there is any real difference between this case and that ; you will attend to all the evidence, and form your own conclu sion from the evidence that has been given. " You are first called upon to say whether this invention of Messrs. Milneris new. As to wheter it is useful, it seems to me to be allowed on all hands, it seems a most marvellous pre servative against fire ; for the water remains permanently held in artificial vessels or in natural vessels, and the very calamity brings the cure, for the heat causes the water to ex pand, and then it is turned into steam, and the steam mo i stens the substance which is to be preserved, and so it is an effectual guard against fire. " If yOu think this was new, then the only remaining ques tion is with regard to the infringement. " Now the infringement seems to rest upon substantially the same evidence as the infringement on the former trial, when the action was brought against Mr. Harrison. Now you find with respect to Tann's Patent, whatever Tann's invention might have been, that this patent which he manufactures, and which the defendant Harrison sells, and of which he calls himself the sole proprietor,' operates in the same way. It seems to me to act precisely the same way as in Milher's patent, but upon that you will form your own judg .. Then if it really has the same effect, and operates in same manner, and upon the same urinciple, it will be for vou to say whether you have any doubt it is an infraction of Milner's Patent. Those are the two questions for you to con sider." The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, on both the issues, thus establishing that the so-called Tann's Patent Safes are a mere piracy of Milner's invention. After the trial lust year, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not made according to Tann's Patent—in other words that the waler in them had not been boiled and set to cool before being used. The three Safes upon which this second action was brought were sworn to by Messrs. 7 ann as being made accord. inq to their Patent. The Public of Liverpool will remember the species of adver tisements by which this wretched case has been upheld. THEY have been as much imposed upon, with regard to the quality and price of the safes sold by these parties, as the advertisers have been wronged by their illegal use of Milner's (the only effective) Fire-resisting principle. The experience of M r . Cafferata, as shown at this trial, (by a gentleman unknown to us before,) is only that of all the buyers of these things. Mr. C. was induced to give £l5 for a safe, 22 x 16 x 16, on the assurance that it was " Thief-proof—three quarter inch thick solid wrought iron," &c., &c. Looking at it a day or two afterwards, at home, and on scraping the paint off it, he found it a MERE SHELL—a perfect delusion ; and those who have intrusted their valuable property to such safeguards will do well to take the same course. For our own Safes, we have devoted our lives and our earn ings to the production of the best securities in the world against Fire, Robbery, or Violence, which the public has given to us the best means of making, and which we mean to sell at the lowest remunerating prices. Before buying a Safe, if parties will look into our works, and see the labour and attention paid to the manufacture in all its details, they will be less likely to be imposed upon by external appearances and fallacious representations in the very important matter of the selection of a Safe. "MILNER'S PHCENIX SAFE WORKS," (late Wind sor Foundry,)Falkner-street, are said to be the finest work shops in Europe, of their class, certainly THE MOST EXTEN SIVE AND COMPLETE SAFE MANUFACTORY IN THE WORLD, employing more hands than all the Safe makers in Great Bri tain, and the Proprietors respectfully invite the people of Liverpool to inspect an establishment that has originated under our present patent, and grown up amongst them. The effect of these trials will be to confirm to Messrs. Milner and Son the exclusive use of materials or vessels in which, to use the Judge's words, " the water remains permanently held until the occurrence of the calamity (Fire) brings the cure." The trials by the Liverpool Polytechnic Society of . Chubb's and Marr's Boxes filled with anhydrous (dry) materials, and of Mil ner ' s , filled according to their evaporating. principle, proving the manifest superiority of the latter, will be remembered, and such is now the defined relative position of Milner's only effec tive File-taming principle, by the . agency of water and its vapour contrasted with all others without, that agony. 212 deg. tc 3,000 deg.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liverpool, Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commence ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. (Signed)_ __THOMAS DEAN. ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS. Parliament-street, Liverpool. Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from them.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIANIS. IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING. From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter': Catholic Church, Leamington H • Gentlemen,— aving frequently suffered mud; from relaxa tion of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various preparations ; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appea rs to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE. To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.
