WOOD PAVING.--The Letters Patent granted to me, DAVID STEAD, for paving
with Wooden Blocks being the first Patent obtained on the subject, and
rendering all subsequent Patents for the same object void, have, after a
long investigation at Liverpool, been declared valid, notwithstanding
the most resolute opposition against me by the real defendants in the
case--the Metropolitan Wood Paving Company.
I therefore warn all Public Authorities and persons using, or assisting
in using Wooden Blocks for Paving, that such infringement upon my Patent
will be suppressed; but I am prepared (as is my Licencee, Mr Blackie),
to execute any extent of Wood Paving of any description upon contract,
and also to grant licenses for the adoption and promotion of the great
advantage and benefits of Wood Paving in London, and all parts of
England, Scotland, and Ireland.
For terms, parties may apply to me, or to my solicitor, Mr John Duncan,
72 Lombard street, London, or to Mr A.B. Blackie, No. 250 Strand.
(Signed) DAVID STEAD
