MR. WRAY’S PROCESS. 189 
substances; thus forming a totally distinct method of 
using and applying the said tannic substances to the juice. 
My process, therefore, consists first in the cold defeca- 
tion of raw juice by means of lime, or other suitable com- 
bination of lime, immediately followed by filtration, as 
hereinbefore particularly detailed; and secondly, the treat- 
ment of the clear bright juice or liquor resulting from 
this cold defecation, with infusion of nut galls or other 
suitable tannic substances, aided by heat in suitable ves- 
sels and subsequent filtration, as hereinbefore described : 
together, making as a whole, one plain consecutive 
process, which I have herein fully and faithfully ex- 
plained and set forth; and which has never been sug- 
gested nor employed by any one else before. 
These comprise the whole of my treatment; and I 
submit that they constitute an entirely distinct and new 
process, being one whereby excellent crystallized sugar 
has been, and can always be made from the plants I have 
before named. And I therefore claim the process, as 
herein set forth, and desire to secure the same by Letters 
Patent.
