Liverpool, 25th November, 1842.

ECENT events have awakened so _e . al a feeling of
Xis the momentous importance of se :j mg a protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., '`.oks and Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all t .mbustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel ,excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin-
cipal towns, they hare received from the authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificate's of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification
of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle
;Of their Patent is capable of affording security under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested
in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga-
tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in
use, their own amongst the rest.
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's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotund()
Gardens, October 7th, 1812. 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, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
ings, 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 perectly safe. At half-past four
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,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware-
houses, I regret to inform you that my Deeds, Papers, and
Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes,
madeby of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The inconsenience and loss occasioned to me is very great.
As I have now no faith whatever in Iron Fire-proof Safes,
(at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proof
Boxes which have been so strongly tested.
I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant,
RICHARD G. HICKS.
P.S.—Please send me a No. 10, with drawers, and No. 1,
for deeds.

Hanzburgh,29th August, 1842.
A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA-
TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on
the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;

We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, feel pleasure in expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box vas filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitatistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com-
bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box
was placed in the fire, and there allowed to remain for one hour
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white
heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch ;
but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going as
true as when deposited—the whole contents were also pre-
served, including the document on which this certificate is
written.

2d. That the patent which , affects to carry into execution
was taken out by Mr. A. lOrtz, of Liverpool, on sth No-
vember, 1840, and of which he was advertised as the agent.
3d. That, under colour of such patent, Mr. J. Williams
has been adopting various plans for introducing air to fur-
naces, one of which, by means of hollow bars, proved unsuc-
cessful.
4th. That the modification of the plan which he is now
proposing to adopt, and as lithographed by him, is not only
wholly distinct from Mr Kurt's patent, but is a direct in-
fringement of that granted to Mr. C. W. Williams. D. and
Co., therefore, caution Engineers, Manufacturers, and others
against its use; and they further suggest the propriety of
parties to whom Mr. Joseph Williams may apply, to call on
him to exhibit his pretended patent, or show his right to any
patent, before they sanction such infringement on that of
Mr. C. W. Williams as may, hereafter, render them liable to
damage.
Mr. Joseph Williams has advertised, "that' the patentees
have forborne pressing their invention," &c. D. and Co.
therefore suggest, that he ought, after this notice, be required
to state who are these " patentees," and what is the " inven-
tion" to which he lays claim.
For the information of the public, D. and Co. observe
that the Patent of Mr. C. W. Williams consists in the intro-
duction of atmospheric air, in small or thin films, to the
heated inflammable gasses generated from coals in a furnace,
the object being to effect the immediate diffusion or mixture
of the air with such gasses, without producing that cooling
effect which takes place when air is admitted by large or
wide orifices.
Mr. Joseph Williams affects to make a distinction between
the introduction of hot, instead of cold air, and for this pur-
pose he merely raises the pipe which conducts the air to the
level with the fire bars. This, however, is but a mere colour-
able pretence to cover the deception, the effect being the same
in whatever situation such air-conducting pipe be placed.

TO ANDREW KURTZ, ESQ..
DEAR SIR,—As your name was mentioned ip the advertise-
ment which appeared in the Liverpool papers, from Messrs.
Dircks and Co., respecting the infringement my patent by
Mr. Joseph Williams, under colour of his being agent for
yours, I have to assure you, it never was intended to convey,
in the remotest manner, an idea that you in any way en-
couraged or sanctioned Mr. J. Williams in the step he was
taking. Your assurance on that point, in your former commu-
nication to me, was quite sufficient, and your recent disavowal
of those measures only confirms me in the propriety of sett-
ing the matter right before the public. I regret the necessity
for introducing your name in the advertisement of Messrs.
Dircks and Co., and take this public means of expressing
my obligation for your so distinctly disclaiming and con-
demning the proceedings of Mr. Joseph Williams, of whose
conduct in this matter you so strongly expressed your dis-
approbation.—l am, very truly, yours,
C. W. WILLIAMS.
