212° MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING
SAFES.
MILNER v. HARRISON.

SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT.
HE Defendant, JOHN GERMAN HARRISON, having
T
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 sold by him since the
first trial were not infringements, but made under a patent
granted to Messrs. Sann), a second action was brought on the
suggestion of Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, to try
whether such safes were or were not infringements on Milner's
Patent. _ _ _ . . . _

This action was tried on the 25th June last, before Lord
Campbell and a special jury. The following extracts from the
learned Judge's address to the jury in summing up will show
distinctly the questions submitted to the jury :
Lord Campbell.—" I own it seems to me that Mr. Harrison
does not appear before you in very advantageous colours from
these proceedings. 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 eiven.

" 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 bands, it seems a most marvellous pre-
servative against fire ; for the 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 fkre..

o
" If you think this was new, then the only remaining ques-
tion is with rfgartl to the infringement.

Now the infringement seems to rest upon substantially the
same evidence as the infringement on the former trial, when
the action 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
Mi!her's patent, but upon that you will form your own judp
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."

The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintif. on both the
issues, thus establishing that the so-called Tann s Patent Safes
are a mere piracy of lllilner's invention. After the trial last
year, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not
made according to Tann's Patent—in other words • that the
waler in them had not been boiled and set to cool before being
used. The three Safes upon which this second action was
brought were sworn to by Messrs.' ann as being made accord-
ing to their Patent. _ _

The Public of Liverpool will remember the species of adver-
tisements by which this wretched case has been upheld. THEY
have been as much imposed upon, with regard to the quality
and price of the safes sold by these parties, as the advertisers
have been wronged by their illegal use of Milner's (the only
effective) Fire-resisting principle. The experience of Mr.
Cafferata, as shown at this trial, (by a gentleman unknown to
us before,) is only that of all the buyers of these things. Mr.
C. was induced to give 'l5 for a safe, 22 xl6 x 16, on the
assurance that it was " Thief-proof—three quarter inch thick
solid wrought iron," &c., &c. Looking at it a day or two
afterwards, at home, and on scraping the paint off it, he found
it a MERE SHELL—a perfect delusion ; and those who have
intrusted their valuable property to such safeguards will do
well to take the same course.

For our own Safes, we have devoted our lives and our earn-
ings to the production of the best securities in the world against
Fire, Robbery, or Violence, which the public has given to us
the best means of making, and which we mean to sell at the
lowest remunerating prices. Before buying a Safe, if parties
will look into our works, and see the labour and attention
paid to the manufacture in all its details, they will be less likely
to be imposed upon by external appearances and fallacious
representations in the very important matter of the selection
of a Safe. " MILNER'S PHOENIX SAFE WORKS," (late Wind-
sor Foundry,) Falkner-street, are said to be the finest work-
shops in Europe, of their class,. certainly THE MOST EXTEN-
SIVE AND COMPLETE SAFE MANUFACTORY IN THE WORLD,
employing more hands than all the Safe makers in Great Bri-
tain, and the Proprietors respectfully invite the people of
Liverpool to inspect an establishment that has originated under
our preSent patent, and grown up amongst them. The effect
of these trials will be to confirm to Messrs. Milner and Son the
exclusive use of materials or vessels in which, to use the
Judge's Words, '• the water remains permanently held until the
occurrence of the calamity (Fire) brings the cure." The trials
by the Liverpool Polytechnic Society of Chubb's and Marr's
Boxes filled with anhydrous (dry) materials, and of Milner's,
filled according. to their evapotating principle, proving the
manifest superiority of the latter; will be remembered, and
such is now the defined relative position of Milner's only effec-
tive File-taming principle, by the agency of water and its
vapour contrasted with all others without, that agency. 212

p RIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT
SARSAPARILLA.

This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that well-
known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is
prepared by a peculiar method, by which the whole of the
aromatic and volatile parts are preservel; and the experience
of many years has fully established the reputation of this Medi-
cine, as containing more of the virtues of the root than any
other preparation. It is recommended for clearing the face
and skin from blotches and pimples, and its beneficial
effects have been particularly striking in the following
complaints :—Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands, Cuta-
neous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, Gout. &c., &c.
In freeing the system after a course of Mercury its
beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the blood,
and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and
regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipe-
latous Inflammation from which.so many persons periodically
suffer; and when taken in the Fall of the Year as an Alterative
Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the con-
stitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appetite,
and freshness of the complexion. In taking this medicine there
requires no confinement or restraint of diet.

DRIESTLEY'S COUGH AND
ASTHMATICAL DROPS. This invaluable Medicine
immediately relieves Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty
of Breathing, and Huskiness in the Throat. These Drops
are also the best preventive that can be taken against
spitting of blood and affection of 'the lungs. Persons
troubled with asthma are considerably relieved by taking a few
doses of the drops, as they tend to promote expectoration and
remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure of the hooping
cough, they are no less efficacious. Those who are troubled
with that unpleasant tickling in the throat, which deprives
them of rest night after night, by the incessant Cough which
it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate relief;
and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a cure.

NEVER-FAILING REMEDY !

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT!
A CRIPPLE SETS ASIDE HIS CRUTCHES

AFTER TEN YEARS' SUFFERING

Copy of a Letter from Mt

Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool,

-dated August 20th, 1832.

To Professor HOLLOWAY,=-Dear am enabled to fur-
nish you with a most extraordinary cure effected by your inva-
luable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person
acquainted with the sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W.
Cummins, of Saltney-street, in this town, was thrown from his
horse, whereby he received very serious injuries; he had the
best medical advice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate
of different infirmaries, yet lie grew worse, and at length a ma-
lignant runnitr, ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that he could not move without crutches for
nearly ten years; recently he began to use your Ointment and
Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that
he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health
and vigour. J. THOMPSON.
A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE of A DREADFUL SKIN
DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Hird, Draper, of Keardy, near
Gainsbro', dated March let, 1852.
_ _ _

To Professor HOLLOWAY,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my
children was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the body
and limbs. 1 obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons
and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hope-
less. At length I tried your Ointment and Pills, and without
exaggeration, the effect was miraculous, for by persevering in
their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from
a similar complaint, and I believe, had I in her case adopted
your medicines, she would have been saved also. I sha►l be
happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer.—J. HIRD.
CERTAIN REMEDY FOR SCORBUTIC HUMOURS—AND
AN ASTONISHING CURE OF AN OLD LADY SEVENTY
YEARS OF AGE OF A BAD LEG.

Copy of a Letter from Mews. Walker 6- Co., Chemists, Bath.
To Professor HOLLOWAY,—Dear Sir,—Among the numerous
cures effected by the use of your valuable medicines in this
neighbourhood, we may mention that of an old lady living in
the village of Preston, about five miles from this city. She had
ulcerated wounds in her le& for many years, and latterly they
increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual
remedies; her health rapidly giving way under the suffering
she endured. In this distressing condition she had recourse
to your Ointment and Pills, and by. the assistance of her
friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received
a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at
the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age.
We shall be happy to satisfy any inquiries as to Ma authenticity
of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letteccr:-:-
