degrees below zero, an intensity of cold not experienced for
many years in America.
As the comparative expense of the Wenham Lake Ice has
induced all other parties to discontinue its importation, and
substitute an inferior and impure article in its place, the Sub-

THE RIVAL FIREPROOF SAFE.
TANN'S PATENT FIREPROOF SAFES

J. G. HARRISON and Co. beg to call the attention of the
public to an advertisement which Mr. Miller has published for
some time in the Liverpool papers, setting forth that the Court
of Chancery had granted an injunction prohibiting the sale of
safes made according to " Tann's Patent." The perseverance
with which Mr. Milner still proclaims an assertion so manifestly
untrue prevents further forbearance on'the part of J. G. H. and
nd compels them to repeat that his attempt to invalidate
" Co.,iann's Patent" has been complitely unsuccessful. In proof
of this, J. G. H. and Co. would quote the following extracts
from the judgment of his h our, Vice-Chancellor Sir George
Turner, given so recently s the 15th instant, in the cause of
Milner v. Harrison. H' honour says, " I have very carefully
perused the affidavits Mnn this part of the case, and I am fully
satisfied that no order for commitment can be founded upon
it. Any comments upon these affidavits would involve obser-
vations calculated to affect the characters of the parties, and I
therefore abstain from commenting on them." His honour
also stated, referring to a safe made according to Tann's Patent,
"This safe is proved to have been manufactured according to
' Tann's Patent,' and the question, therefore, is, whether the
manufacture under 'Tann's Patent' is an infringement of Mil-
ner'is patent. This question has not been tried in the action at
law, for it is in proof before me that the safes which formed the
subject of that action were not manufactured according to
Tann's Patent, and, therefore, if I am to make an order for
committing this defendant I must do so on my own opinion,
unaided by anything which has passed at law. lam not pre-
pared to go that length ; it would be to affirm that Milner's
patent applies in all cases where the materials interposed
between the boxes evolve steam on being affected by heat.
which is certainly not a necessary construction of Milner's
patent, nor, as I think, a necessary corollary from what has
already passed at law. The case cannot. I think, be nut more
favourably for the plaintiff than to suppose that the action, in
this case, which was brought against the defendant had been
brought against Tann, and that the action having succeeded,
this bill had been filed to restrain Tann from manufacturing
according to his patent ; and in that position of the case I
think the court would not have granted an injunction until after
a further trial at law, even independently of the plaintiff's

conduct in having peimitted Tanii so long to continue manu-
facturing under his patent, and certainly not after such a long
acquiescence by the plaintiff ; and, yet, what the plaintiff asks
by this motion is in effect to stop Tanu's trade, by committing
Tann's agent." J. G. Harrison and Co. have only to add In
conclusion, that until Mr. Milner proves that Tann's patent is
an infringement of his patent, he is bound, in common honesty,
not to publish statements which convey most inaccurate im-
pressions. Messrs. Tann have used their patent with success
for upwards of six years, without a word of complaint from Mr.
Milner or any other party ; and, up to the present moment, all
the proceedings taken by Mr. Milner have failed to invalidate
" Tann's Patent."
