M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to
whom permission of reference is kindly given :
THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER,
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.
WM. STOCK, Esq.
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention
to the following statements :
A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society'. -^^^mint of

alterations in progress thereon, took plat,— _
Gardens, October 7th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling. was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe finpa
with papers, &c., in the centre. The w 1
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certi.
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
rigs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past tour
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. 11 •
