212 Q MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING
SAFES.

• MILNER r. HARRISON.
SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT.
THE Defendant, JOHN 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 (lie pretending that the Safes sold by him since the
first trial were not infringemetits, but made under a patent
granted to Messrs. Sann), a second action was brought on the
suggestion of Vice-ClianFellor Sir George Turner, to try
whether such safes were or were not infringements on Milner's
Patent.
This action was tiled 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 given.
" You are first calten 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 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 fire.
" If you think this was new, then the only remaining ques-
tion is with regard 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
Millier's patent, but upon that you will form your own judg-
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 Plaintiff, on both the
issues, thus establishing that the so-called Tann's Patent Safes
are a mere piracy of Milner's invention. After the trial last
year, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not
made according to Tante* Patent—in other words; that the
water 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. Tann 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. Tuns-
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 x 16 x 16, on the
assurance that it was "'Thief-proof—three quarter inch thick
solid wrought iron," Sze. Looking at it a day or two
afterwards, at home, and on scraping the paint off it, he found
it a MERE SHELL—R 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

PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY.
WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.
THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable
MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The
proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs,
Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the
Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of
long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist-
ance to the most roved remedies. Being entirely free from
eirrp
all noxious ingr lents, and beneficial to the system generally
it may be tak by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The Proprietor has pleasure in submitting the following most
satisfactory testimonials selected from a great many .
" Chatham, April 18tb, 1850.

" Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brampton,

one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing
her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob-
tain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the
large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with
him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the
many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded
it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly,
"To Mr. Woolley." " HENRY WATTS, Chemist, Chatham.
