not useful, he was re;:lly at a loss to say -what evidence there
was to raise any doubt as to its utility; but the question was
for them alone. Now came the direction he should give them
in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said.
He thought there might be an infringement, although tbe de-
fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing the
liquid. All the rest he left to them ; but he only said that it
was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use
pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider
whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the
defendant had infringed the patent. They would bear in mind
that respectable professors from King's College, and other
seminaries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and
they would consider whether they disproved th' infringement.
Tann's patent could only be evidence on the grr
meat, for it was not taken out until nearly
Milner's; but if, as it would appear that He

bearing on these issues ; and if they thought that, although the
boxes that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes,
or artificial vessels for containing the liquid, they contained
alum and other substances from which moisture was to be ex-
tracted by heat; if they thought they were substantially tl
same as Milner's, they would find that issue for the plsiinti
