le1,es .iJu. thereof
Tie Judge toes not mention this particular part OF
tire agreements IL his opinion, and ! think It was
fair inference TO deduce from this omission that be
never bad read il. II be did read II, then bis inter
roga;ories, which are mt ait by hin TO be answered
affirma;iyey, ADMIT Of nothing but negative.
AZ TO the attempt to excite feeling between Mr.
Marshal ard myself about this case think that Will
tai. have 10 doubt that he argued biz case much
better tt an / could have done it, and il gives me
pleasure to Tim highly Prsi-ed by his opponent
II be had beaten them be would not have beer-at
least 50 infer from the fact that Fever have seen
myself or the other council who have, from time to
time, beaten Mr.. Dsy-prai' ed at a.. Nor would |
deprive these lterwrters Of the mutual hap
pn.ss that their mutual admiration seems 10 excite.
Mr. Days share Of this sort Of erj ymeLt must be
immense a. lie is attered the top Of his bent by
all the rest and in turn compliments them all. Aoy
success by that -de of this controversy BIO Fever
!ifmg or bow, yer gained must be -ucn relief to
the dreary prospect and still more dreary retro-pec
that little newspaper mutual admiration ought to be
excused. and the man who would unfeel ngly dampen
their eIjOy ment think il cruelI would not Oa aiy
account.
IL conclusion ard by way of answer to the constant
swagger which is mantsiteG by Mr.. Day ana his
followers about is bold defense of his rights &c.,
allow ne to repubish passage from the opinion OF
that very able lawyer, the Hon. Joseph Holt, late
Commission Of Patotts and Low PosmasterGeneral,
who extended the Goodyear patent Day st the persoo
TO whom he alludes, and his deneaon is unms-
taxable:
Another and most potent reaion why this patent
should be EXTENDED is md IN the acknowledges fact
that the public have not kept the faith winch they
pligtttd with the applicant when he covenanted to
surrender TO them product which was 10 effect
the concentrated esseIce Of the physical ana intel
l.cual energies Of hs entire life. That public StlPu
lated with him that he should peacefully enjoy for
fourteen years the monopoly created by his patent,
and lad be been permitted to do co. he would no doubt
long since have realized ample remuneration; but,
30 for from tbs having been the case, no inventor
probably has ever been so harassed so trampet
upon 80 pundered by that soIdld and lcontlous class
of iufiDgeIs known in the parance of tie world, with
DO exaggeratlon Of phrase, "a pirates.
"Tbe spoaiiors Of their tcessant guerrilla warfare
upon lis defenseless rights have urquestionably
amounted TO millions
"In the very front rank Of this predatory band
stauds ore who sust aims in this the double aud
most convenient character of contest ant aud witness
and il is but subdued expression Of my estimate OF
the deposition he has lodged TO say that this Parthan
shaft-the last that he could hnrl at an invention
which he has so long and reuorsslessy pursued-is
fitting finale to that career which the pu bic justice Of
this country has so sigpay rebuked."
Very truly your. EDWARD DLChLhsoN'
