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, as
Executor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven-
tion of " Improvements in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories
for the Protection of Papers 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 be
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 the said Thomas Mil-
ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or

ing the said Invention

Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbeare
for the defendant, and affidavits in support of and in opposition
to the motion were read. Milner's invention consisted in the
use of substances, distribitted in an absorbent material in
spaces between the outer and inner casings of the Box, which
substances, when exposed to heat, evolved steam or moisture,
the combined effect of the moisture and the material, kept
humid, protecting the Safes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire.
The defendant sold Safes and Boxes, which he represented
to be made under a Patent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon-
don, but which the 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 vas made according t•
heir specification _ _

His HONOUR stated the print' eon which the Court inter-
fered in cases of this kind, observed that Tann's specifi-
cation appeared to conte ate only a dry non-conductor to
stop the heat. whereas ilner's created a further obstruction
to the fire, by prod ng at the period when the fire began to
act on the box an union of steam, which pervaded the non-
conducting mat al with moisture, and thereby protected the
Safe and its tents. 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 he em-
ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded
by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion.
