To Professor HOLLOWAY,—sir,—At the age of 18 my wife
(who is now 61) caught a violent cold, which settled in her legs,
and ever since that time they have been more or less sore. and
greatly inflamed. Her agonies were distracting, and tor months
together she was deprived entirely of rest and sleep. Every
remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without effect ;
her health suffered severely, and the stale of her legs was terri-
ble. 1 had often read your advertisements, and advised her to
try your Pills and Ointment; autr, as a last resource, after
every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so,

the sufferings of a fellow creature. (Signed) Was. GA LPI N.

A-DREADFUL BAD BREAST CURED IN ONE MONTH.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Frederick Turner, of Penshurst,
Kent, dated December 13th, 1850.
To Professor HoLLowAv,—Sir,—My wife had suffered from
Bad Breasts for more than six months, and during the whole
period had the best medical attendance, but all to no use.
Having before healed an awful wound in my own leg by your
unrivalled medicine, I determined again to use your Pills and
Ointment, and therefore gave them a trial in her case, and for-
tunate it was I did so, for in less than a month a perfect cure
was effected, and the benefit that various other branches of my
family have derived from their use is really astonishing. I now
strongly recommend theta to all my friends.

AN INFLAMMATION IN THE SIDE PERFECTLY CURED.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Arnot, of B' eahonse,
Lothian-road Edinbro', dated April 291 h, 1851.

To Professor HottowAy,--LSir,—Foi more than twenty
years my wife has been subject, from time to time, to attacks
of inflammation in the side, for which she was bled and blis-
tered to a great extent, still the pain could not be removed.
About' four years ago she saw, in the papers, the wonderful
cures effected by your Pills and Ointment, and thought she
would give them the trial. To her great astonishment and
delight she got immediate relief from their use, and after per-
severing for three weeks the pain in her side was completely
cured, and she has enjoyed the best of health for the last four
years.. (Signed) FRANCIS ARNOT.

MILNER V. HARRISON.
AN application was made on Thursday, the 25th
September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir
George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, ao
RAe.ntor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven-
tion of " improv.ments in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories
for the Protection of Pape. a or other materials from Fire," for
an injunction to restrain the defendant, John German Harri-
son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making,
using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to he
made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the
Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner, any Boxes,
Safes, or other depositories made in such,or the like manner,
or on the same or the like principle as be said Thomas Mil-
ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or
resembling the said Invention.

- -
Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbear•
for the defendant, and affidavits ifi support of and in opposition
to the motion were read. r's invention consisted in the
use of substances, distriblit in an absorbent material in
spaces between the outer a inner casings of the Box, which
substances, when exposed o heat, evolved steam or moisture.
the combined effect of le moisture and the material, kept
humid, protecting the afes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire.
The defendant soh ..afes and Boxes, which he represented
to be made under a atent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon-
don, but which e plaintiff contended were substantially
made according. to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe-
ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the
plaintiff against the defendant for the infringement, and tried
in June last, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a special
jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's
counsel tendering a Bill of Exceptions to the direction of the
learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification.
Notwithstanding this verdict, the defendant Harrison had
continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the
affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen-
dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan-
tially the same as those proved on the trial, and found to be an
infringement. This was verified by Doctor Muspratt whose
analysis accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John
Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him
and his partners, and he alleged that it was made according to
their specification

His HONOUR stated the principle on which the Court inter-
fered in cases of this kind, and observed that Tann's specifi-
cation appeared to contemplate only a dry non-conductor to
stop the beat, whereas Nlilner's created a further obstruction
to the fire, by producing at the period when the fire began to
act on the box an effusion of steam, which pervaded the non-
conducting material with moisture, and thereby protected the
Safe and its contents. His Honour adverted to the ong enjoy-
ment of the Patent which was granted in 1840, the result of the
trial at law, and the clear opinioni n the plaintiff's favour
expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour
concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent
claiming every mode by which the liquid, &c., might be em-
ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded
by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion.

MILNER v. HARRISON.

(The latter selling Tann's Safes and Boxes, and advertising
himself assae proprietor of Tann's Patent Safes, Chests, 6:c.)

The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating
the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying
liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of
heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the
chambers of Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per-
vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture
and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers
from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The-
siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Hindmarsh, for the Defen-
dant. After the case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence

was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and
Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel
Woods, jun.. of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W.
Pilcher, of Liverpool ; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of
Liverpool; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry,
Liverpool; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian
Society, Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery
at the University College, London •, and by Mr. John Owens,
one of the foremen of Alilner's Works for the last twenty years,
on the utility, originality. &c., of Milner's Safes—of which
upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe-
ment of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, whip was proved to
have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he bad
tested and sold, which he had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm,
when in their service ns Shopman, from 1846 to 1849. This
was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who
called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami-
nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr.
Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and
Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, te said, was an
action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 26th of
August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for
the protection of papers from fire. The defendant set up
several defences, which he would not take exactly in their
proper order. Ist. He said that there was nn proper specifica-
tion of this patent. 2dly. That Milner, the patentee, was nit
the inventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was
not a useful invention; and that, at all events, the defendant
had not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very
fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would
read it over.

The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary,

Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their
attention to the several questions they were to determine, for
they were all for their determination. With regard to the in-
friiimcmont. he.would repeat the direction he had before given
them. Here was the specification, and although lie thought
this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an
ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make
one of the Nixes it described. The witnesses had said that an
ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so.
The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven-
tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might
be taken as part of the same question.
It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention,
and if he gave prima facie evidence that it was so, the defen-
dant would have to show that it was not. Now there was cer-
tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to show that
it was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an
invention for the protection of papers against fire. The papers
were locked in an iron' box, having cases enclosed, leaving
• • . ..ween V e two cases, and the object was to have
ze that would give out a moisture upon the appli-
heat; and the steam thus produced was to be in-
the box and. moisten the papers so that they might be
rved from the effects otfire. There had been several wit-

TUESDAY

310RNING, MAY 11, 1852

1E WEEK.

THE WEEK has again been politically eventful;
and must have been productive of uncomfortable
sensations to the Whig-Radi,al party. Defeat after
defeat attends their factious proceedings in the House
of Commons ; and they are evidently fighting a
losing battle out of doors. In Liverpool, their at-
tempts to get up a little steam are abortive. Their
ward meetings are spiritless affairs, the same worn
out cattle dragging round the same monotonous
mill, and grinding the same wearisome statistics.
We have the everlasting Mr. JEFFERY, and the two
amiable WILLIAMS—EARLE and RATHBONE—
everywhere ; the latter displaying a vitality, which
is astounding in one of •such extreme old age, and a
temper which indicates sleepless nights, and an un-
pleasant accumulation of acidity in the system ; but
no impression appears to result from their melan-

choly ravings. We are assured by our own reporter
that, at the meeting at the Royal Hotel, yesterday
week, a sketch of which we gave in our last pub-
lication, there were never, during the whole pro-
ceedings, more than from 70 to 100 persons present,
although a platform had been provided, and other
arrangements made to accommodate an audience of
more than double the number ; and that, with the
exception of Dr. BLACKBURNE, not a single lead-
ing member of the party was present. On Wed-
nesday night similar arrangements for a crowded
meeting in St. Paul's Ward were made at the New
York Hotel, Union-street. In anticipation, the
floors of the room were actually propped ! At the
hour, however, when the chair was advertised to be
taken, three persons were present ; and when, some
twenty minutes afterwards, Mr. Wm. RATHBONE,
and the other peripatetic talkers, commenced pro-
ceedings, the attendance barely reached some
twenty or thirty. Notwithstanding these sad—
dening displays, it is said that the most flat-
tering accounts of the completion (?) of the can-
vass have gone up to head-quarters in London ; that
Mr. CARDWELL has been pronounced safe, and
that the New Brighton phenomenon is to be with-
drawn from amongst us, to be absorbed in the
hungry crowd of " outs," who flit about the doors
and lobbies of the Reform-club. The well informed,
however, only smile at the ridiculous gasconading
of the party ; and pronounce the whole affair as a
sell.

It is distressing that the Government of Lord
DERBY will not accommodate their opponents with
a good election cry. The "large loaf" and "the
little loaf" do not take. The public do not believe
that any set of men can seriously contemplate such
changes as would be required to raise food to star-
vation prices. The " traitor" cry has received its
quietus. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's "Free-
trade speech" can no longer serve the faction. Mr.
DISRAELI is not going to betray any body; but to
do precisely what was laid down for him from the
first, viz., to be guided by the sense of the country
in such a revision of our fiscal and commercial
policy as may best promote the interests of all
classes. The Militia Bill progresses satisfactorily;
and the modest request of Messrs. COBDEN and
BRIGHT to have it left for a little out-of-doors agi-
tation is declined. The cry for an early dissolution
goes down no longer. Whig• Radicalism has stulti-
fied itself by prolonging the session with inter-
minable talk. The nominees of the League, in fact,
dread an early dissolution, which to many of them
must be political extinction. There are signs and
portents around them, which show an unmistakeable
inclination on the part of insulted constituencies to
put an end, for ever, to the dictation of the intoler-
able quacks who hold the League purse, and who
have so long persisted in foisting their creatures
upon the acceptation of the public.
What says Manchester upon this point ? The
answer shall be given by an extract from the Report
ut it comtuiLcce of Cuisberviative Free-traders, which
has just been published :

" It cannnot be denied that an extensive and increasing
dissatisfaction has for some time existed in relation to
the course pursued by both the present representatives.
The committee express the sentiments of a large portion
of electors when they bring charges against them such as
the following :—That they have been at once the chiefs
and vassals of a political club, which has employed the
influence confided to the original Anti-Corn-law League
in promoting measures totally foreign to its objects, and
to the wishes of large classes of its original supporters ;
that they have advocated the most extreme views upon
subjects of general legislation, to the serious risk, if not
to the actual injury, of the real interests of the commu-
nity ;—that they have, by their votes and interest, em-
barrassed the progress of sound, practical improvement;
that they have acted, in at least one memorable instance,
in direct opposition to the sentiments of the constituency,
expressed with unparelleled unanimity and earnestness;
that they have almost systematically evinced a contemp-
tuous intolerance of those who had the misfortune to dis-
sent from their opinions ;—that they have been inattentive
to the local Interests of the borough, when those interests
required the active services of its representatives in par.
liament ; and, generally, that they have compromised the
position to which former members for this borough have,
by their diligence and moderation, been able to attain, in
the respect of the constituency, and in the confidence of
the country."

This is a tolerably intelligible notice to quit for
Mr. MILNER GIBSON and Mr. JOHN BRIGHT;
and that it will be acted upon is certain, from the
influential parties, composed of men of every shade
of commercial politics, who are reported as having
attended the public meeting in Manchester on Tues-
day last. The candidates are ready, and the funds
are ready for the contest ; and we fancy we can
perceive in this move a break-up of the League it-
self, by the secession of its most respectable sup-
tno distant date

FRANCE.

Wednesday was the anniversary of the Emperor Napo-
leon's death, when a funeral service of a most imposing
description was performed at the Church of the Invalides,
which the Prince President attended. He drove himself
over to the sacred edifice in a small carriage and pair, and
returned to the Elysee in the same manner, accompanied
only by the Minister at War, and escorted by a detachment
of cuirassiers. The legislative, and tho other constituted
bodies of the state, were also present in their official
costume.

The decline in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents excites
a good deal of attention as to its cause, but the stringency
of the press law deters the conductors of the daily jour.
nals, or the foreign correspondents resident in Paris, from
communicating the alleged fact to the public, lest the
circulation of falsehood should be charged to their account,
and they be sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment
The French budget for 1853 is now before the lei
body. The expenditure is estimated at 1,447,
francs. The floating debt is 627,000,000 francs.
A rumour prevails in political circles that a change L
