nE Ii known that 1, the subscriber OBJ
ID tanned letters patent in December 1851, for
an apparatus for the destructive distiIlaon OF
wood, and the making therefrom of tar pitch al
pleasure, and ga; ; and that in the Judgment OF
competent persons the invention of an appar-
tus recently patented by w. ID. Porter cannot be
used by him or any other person without iniring-
ing nv said patent And, further, that what IS
patented by said Porter rightlully belongs TO me,
as | expect TO prove ere long before the United
States Patent Office and, further, that the use of
said Porters invention involves also process
which am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, and which has been adjudged 10 be
patentabIe TO the first inventor thereof, and which
said w d. Porter has formally dsclaimed as APP
pears upon the public records OF said Office, OF
which official copy is hereto annexed and also
a copy OF his claims
In the National Iateuigeucer of the 25th instant
Mr.. Porter announces that he-has secured by
patent the ''exclusive right 10 making gas from
wood" and threatens prosecution TO all parties
infringing his patent. ask how this statement
comports with the fact of my patent OF December,
1851, and how far the threat can intmdate under
such circumstances? Mr.. Porter's claim is based
upon movable perforated diaphragm, and was
so understood by the Patent Office, as il appears
from the records of the Patent Office that his
claim was al first refused interfering with
prior patent TO Robert Fouls, of Canada, for
equivalent contrivance. This claim, given be-
low, and in which the perforated diaphragm Is the
saving clause, is what Mr.. Porter calls securing
the "excusive right to making gas from'wood."
The statement carries absurdity on It's front, and
is a libel on the good sense of the Patent Office
If such claim or right had been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal mandatory
IN the country.
The following copies Of correspondence and
extracts from the records of the Patent Office will
show the true state of the ease:
