REFLECTEURS TROUPEAU.
DIURNAL REFLECTORS.
PA TENTED IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE, &c.
4- TROUPEAU, Inventor and Manufacturer,
11'1 • begs to introduce to the Members of the Architectural
Profession and the Public in general his Patented DIURNAL
REFLECTORS, admitted to the Great Exhibition,

The application of the above Invention is to Reflect the Day-
light in dark places where gas could not conveniently be used.
Apartments, 'Warehouses, Offices, Wharfs, Staircases, Kitchens,
&c., can be fitted with the Apparatus.
They are recommended especially to parties anxious to pre-
serve their sight and their health—so often injured or lost by
the influence of artificial light.
The prices vary from 16s. to._es, and upwards, according to
size; a charge comparatively trifling, inasmuch as they are
Silver Plated, manufactured by a scientific process, and so
constructed as to give excellent light for a period of several
years, without any additional expense whatever. (A propor-
tionate reduction in the price is made on large orders.)
In France, and in the United Kingdom, the Patent Diurnal
Reflectors have been successfully adopted in palaces, govern-
ment offices, churches, warehouses, &c. The number now
fitted up exceeds 10,000.
In England, the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition—in
France, la Societe d'Encouragement and l'Academie de l'ln-
dustrie Francaise, have given prize medals and rewards to M.
Troupeau, Sole Inventor, Manufacturer, and Patentee. The
Universal Academy of Industry, both in England and France,
have also admitted M. Troupeau a Member.

2124 MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING
SAFES.
MILNER t.. HARRISON.
SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT.
MITE Defendant, JOHN GERMAN HARRISON, having.
I 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, 1831, 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 jut y 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 lie 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 caned 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
Mi!her'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 Tann's Patent—in other words that the
wider 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 bu Messrs. Tann as being made accord-
ing to their Patent. dyer-

of these trials will he 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

filled according. to their evaporating principle, proving the
manifest superiority of the latter, will be remembered, and
