TO THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS:

The petition of Samuel Morey, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,

RESPECTFULLY REPRESENTS:

That he did obtain letters patent of the United States for an improvement in the boilers of steam-engines, which letters patent are dated on the first day of March, 1850; that he now believes that the same are inoperative and invalid by reason of a defective specification, which defect has arisen from inadvertence and mistake. He therefore prays that he may be allowed to surrender the same, and requests that new letters patent may issue to him, for the same invention, for the residue of the period for which the original patent was granted, under the amended specification herewith presented, he having paid thirty dollars into the treasury of the United States, agreeably to the requirements of the act of Congress in that case made and pro vided.

[The specification will conform substantially to that in the original application, with such changes in the description and claims thereof as shall embrace what is sought to be covered by the reissue.]

[But as a reissued patent must be for the "same invention for which the original patent was granted" (act 1836, § 13), care should be taken not to make any such alterations or changes as will expand the invention beyond that originally described or represented, as such enlargement of the invention will vitiate the patent, even if granted.]
