LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY

IVILNER v. HARRISON.

(The Tatter selling Tann': Safes and Boxes, and advertising
himself as soie proprietor of Tann's Patent Safes, Chests, 6-e.)
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 •f Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel
Woods, jnn., of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W.
Pilcher, of Liverpool; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of
Liverpool ; Dr. Sheridan Musprntt. -f :str-

Professor ~nymtstry,
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 Milner's Worka 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, who was proved to
have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he had
tested and sold, which he had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm,
when in their service as Shopman, from 1846, to 1849. This

called several Witnesses, but whose ieitimony, on cross-e
nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case.

read it over.

To Professor HoiLowAir

-S1 11,—Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our
sale list of Proprietary Medicines for some years. A customer,
to whom I can refer for any inquiries, desires me to let you
know the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for
years with a disordered liver and bad digestion. On the last
occasion however, the virulence of the attack was so alarming,
and the inflammation set in so severely, that doubts were en-
tertained of her not being able to bear up under it ; fortunately
she was induced to try your Pills, and she informs me that
after the first, and each succeeding dose, she bad great relief.
She continued to take them, and although she used only three
Boxes, she is now in the enjoyment of perfect health. I could
have sent you many more cases, but the above, from the seve-
rity of the attack, and the speedy cure, I think, speaks much
in favour of your astonishing Pills. (Signed) R. W. KIRKUS.
