WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King. George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Twentieth day of December, in the fifty-fourth year of His
reign, did, for Himself, His heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said John Sutherland, my executors, administrators, and assigns,. His special
licence, full power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the said John Suther-
land, my executors, administrators, and assigns, during the term of fourteen
years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,. use, exercise, and
vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and

"AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF COPPER AND IRON SUGAR PANS AND
SUGAR BOILERS, AND A NEW METHOD OF HANGING THE SAME, AND ALSO AN IMPROVE-
MENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FURNACE OR FIREPLACES IN WHICH PANS AND
BOILERS OUGHT TO BE PLACED;" in which Letters Patent there is contained a
proviso obliging me, the said John Sutherland, under my hand and seal, to
cause a particular description of the nature of my Invention, and in what.
manner the same is to be performed, to be enrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within two calendar months next. and immediately after
the date of the said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same (relation
being thereunto had) may more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
John Sutherland, do hereby declare that my said Invention consists in the
form of sugar pans or boilers used for boiling the juice of the sugar cane,
and in the construction of the furnaces adapted for the same. The boilers are
shallow, and hung from a cast-iron ring built into the brickwork, by which
means the whole surface of the boiler is exposed to the action of the fire.
They can be removed from their seats, the side exposed to the immediate
action of the fire changed, and the furnaces or flues repaired; without taking
down any part of the brick work. The division between the boilers through
which the fire passes I form of a hollow brick arch made in one or more pieces.
The current of air passing through that hollow arch in some degree counter-
acts the action of the fire on the inner surface. A section of the boilers and
furnace, with a reference, is given in the annexed Plan.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Sutherland, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twelfth day of February, in the year of our Lord
