212° MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING

SAFES

MILNER v. HARRISON

SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT.
THE Defendant, JOI-IN GERMAN HARRISON, having
persevered in the sale of Safes constructed on the princi-
ple of Milner's Patent, in defiance of the verdict found against
him in June, 1851, in the Court of Queen's Bench, and an In-
junction afterwards awarded against him by the Court of
Chancery (he pretending that the Safes soldlyr bum since the
first trial were not infringements, but de under a patent
granted to Messrs. Sann), a second on was brought on the
suggestion of Vice-Chancellor r George Turner, to try
whether such safes were orye not infringements onliiilner's
Patent.

This action was tries on the 25th June last, before Lord
Campbell and a sped. jury. 'The following extracts from the
learned Judge's a. ess to the jut yin summing up will show
distinctly the q • . ions submitted to the jury :
Lord Camp I.—" I own it seems to me that Mr. Harrison
does not a . .ear before you in very advantageous colours from
these pre eedings. He had been in the service of Messrs.
Milner, and while in their service he takes another shop, and
there he begins and sells fire-proof boxes which were agreed by
a jury sitting where you now are to be substantially the same
as those of Milner, the Patentee, and that record has been
given in evidence: you are not bound by it, but you may at-
tend to it; and I must own that I do not see any reason to
believe that the jury who sat on the trial of that cause were in
any respect mistaken in point of fact, and I do not discover
that there is any real difference between this case and that ;
you will attend to all the evidence, and form your own conclu-
sion from the evidence that has been riven. _ _

" You are first called upon to say whether this invention of
Messrs. Milner is new. As to wheter it is useful, it seems to
me to be allowed on all hands, it seems a most marvellous pre-
servative against fire; for elle water remains permanently
held in artificial vessels or in natural vessels, and the very
calamity brings the cure, for the heat causes the water to ex-
pand, and then it is turned into steam, and the steam moistens
the substance which is to be preserved, and so it is an effectual
guard against fire.
If you think this was new, then the only remaining ques-
tion is with regard to the infringement.
4‘ Now the infringement seems to rest upon substantially the
same evidence as the infringement on the former trial, when
the actin!' was brought against Mr. Harrison._

" Now you find -with- respect to Tann's Patent, whatever
Tann's invention might have been, that this patent which he
manufactures, and which the defendant Harrison sells, and of
which he calls himself the sole proprietor,' operates in the
same way. It seems to me to act precisely the same way as in
Mither's patent, but upon that you will form your own juds-
ment. Then if it really has the same effect, and operates in
the same manner, and upon the same principle, it will be for
you to say whether you have any doubt it is an infraction of
Milner's Patent. Those are the two'questions for you to con-
sider." •
