WHO’S THE INVENTOR?
To the Editor. Sir, —In your publication of the 10th inst, an article appeared, touching upon the abov e sub] ct, signed “Balch,” iu which he asserts that I am not the inventor, that thg a achine has begu ip use for years at home, and ‘ 1 that Mr Inglis has long had this stamp in use at his establishment. ” Now, Sir, I challenge Mr Inglis, or any other person, to produce a stamp of precisely the same description; and had “Balch” examined it more closely, instead of taking a side glance—like a bull at a gate—perhaps he would not have been so ready to make known to the world his truly wonder : ful discovery. Admitted I am not the inventor, but lyho is the improver! I, too, have seen, and could produce, a dozen stamps similar to that of Mr Inglis, on an improved principle, that have been in use for years by large tirms in this City—in short, L am making some of my machines for those very firms. Truth against the world. Oh, “Balch!” i am, &c., T. H. Snowden. Dunodin, Dec. 13, IS7L
