Mr. COLSRIDON °prisei the pleadings, and stated that the action had b en b otigift ea recover cnmpensation in damages for the injury whith the plaintiff had sustained in con equence of the negligent and improper treatment which hr had received from the defendant, whilst at tended by him in his capacity as a surgeon. Mr. Sergeant w ILDit *tiled the plaintiff's case. His client was a Gentleman holding a commission of Lieu tenant in the Royal Navy, and who claimed compenso - for en injury, of which the consequences would pro. bable affect him to the latest period of his life. The Learned'Sergeant then went ryes to state,that the plaintiff, Whilst labouring under an inflammatory complaint, having called in the.. defendant to his assistance, the latter recommended that the plaintiff should be bled, and sent an apprentice to perform the operation of bleeding. This young amtleman had performed his 4ty in seen a manner that the arm which had been bled became swollen 'and inflamed in a high degree. The patient bad been for a considerable time in a state of delirium, and the arm itself was now contracted and stiffened, and exhibited few signs of ever again return. ing to its former healthy condition. The Learned Ser geant then stated at great length the circumstances of the case as they are detailed in the evidence.of the fel lo'iving witnesses: Louisa Collins deposed. as follows s--4 reside with my mother its this city ; I know the plaintiff, whp is a mar ried man ; he tame to lodge in my nuther's house in January last, indicated for three months; I know. the disfendam byname, and saw him at my mother's in IP. wary last, when he came to attend 31r..

Mr. Luttrell complained of suffering exCersitie l pirin its the arm, Wad wished - to have the 'bandage nabould, but Mr. Grace Said it Mutt ndt be done; Mrs. Laurel' was present all the time Mr. Glace remained, about 15 minutes; after he went, Mr. Luttrell requested Of Mrs. Luttrell to untie the bandage, *bids She would not do ; •Mrs.Lnittell and Ithen 'kelt • out.. and on our retina I learnt teas Mr. Luttrell has in oug absence ordered the setvant to untie it, and that she had Mane se; Mrs.Luttrell and I had ; remained in the sosiiit 'three Wins after the bleeding; *barite we went, and during all that time, Mr. Luttrell was suffering violent pain in the arm; after the bandage had been loonened by the servant, I undid it a little more, and Idantfired ththesit to quite black; Mr. L.uttrell said it was so sore that I indst not 'touch it ; Mr. Luttrell pontianod at my mother's tor, a foitnigla aftec; I , saw hia*Mew every day-Sic was very black, and 'verY much . eviedlier; he suffered great pain diving thetime, and isediergrean'inath ht night; he Was bled by Mr. Grate a sempd :time the day . after the first bleeding; Mc .

U dee care-sad skill Aid bietfraibirid by the operant, the bleeding might have been • effected Allan any inflansenati ,, n of the tendon, or other injurious or pain ful consequence; the vein that bad been opened was the median basilick vein; the arm was contracted in consequence of the callosity of the tendon ; the median cephalic is tie vein which should have been opened ; if a person who has been bled complain of pain for seve ral days after, the bandage flight to be removed ; the pain in such case would indicate inflammation ; it would be necessary melamine the arm, and the wound in the tendon in such case might not be easily perceived, but to keep the bandage on would increase the inflamma tion ; I could not discover any other cause of the in flammatinn than the tendon having been punctured in the bleeding; I believe. the bleeding to have been the Cause of the callosity, only in consequence of the proxi mity of the puncture to the seat of the callosity. Cross-examined—ln that part of the arm the ten don lies immediately under the vein, and over the artery. The tendon would therefore be wounded be fore the artery by a puncture made in the vein, and passing through it; the distribution of the veins in this arm was of the usual kind ; when I saw the median cephalic six months after the bleeding, it was in a fit state to be opened ; I think the bleeding ought to have taken place in the median cephalic vein ; callosity of a tendon may result from other causes besides a puncture; when the fascia is wounded, it will produce inflammation of the tendon; I do not mean to say that Ale callosity in this case was the result of a puncture; when there is a considerable' tumefaction, it is very diffictat to ascertain if the tendon has been punctimed at all ; Itnow Mr. Bleecke; putation in his profession is very high; he saw the arm of the plaintiff a fortnight after the bleeding; the plaintiff told me that since the bleeding he had been t , ) London, and under the care if a su-geon there ; I cannot say, that at the time when Mr. Grace operated upon Mr. Luttrell, the cephalic vein was in as favour able a state for bleeding as the basilick. Mr. John Swayne—l am a surgeon ; I examined the plaintiff's arm in company with the last witness; scarcely two persons have the identical distribution of the veins. The bleeding ought, in my opinion, to have been ma 'e in the median cephalic ; but if recourse be had to the median basilick, great care and attention ought to be exhibited. If the patient were steady, the median basi lick vein might have been opened with perfect safety. • hi July, when L examined the aren ' t could not say which vein had been opened; the. tendon is not particularly sensitive, and such a wound as saw-might have taken, 'place without any injury to the °shaper's. the nerves, .in the neighbourhood may have been injured, and ,tbe t 'consequence of such an injury would be very ac ltt pain; the fascia is a bundle of fibres.spreading.frem the .tendon over the arm; I was not able, from • inspe4icirt of the arm, to say whether injury had takes place three. or six months before; if a patient feel pain (torn the tightness of a bandage, it would . .be. improper to keep on the bandage for six or ween'alays; the great quan tity of lint and bandage Most have'been used in Conic- .

The discolour_t_rm I aitrrhoted to his having a very fine skin, and the pre:. sure of the bandage ; I have seen similar appearances many times.; they generally' go off withont any appli cation; the edges cf the orifice in the skin were not in contact as I left them the preceding day; those of the orifice in the vein must have been healed, in the blood did not flow ; the cellular membrane was inflamed, but this occurs often ; I brought the edges of the orifice to Other, and directed him to keep the atm perfectly quiet, and if it should be worse the nest day, to mention it to the doctor. The (lilt bleeding was on a Thursday, and I did not see hilts until the following Thursday, when I went with Dr. Mires to see him ; the arm was Alen swollen and infialkstd. Dr. Davies (hinted a lotion' . to be prepared for the attn. and I, under the doctor's chrection, administered Medial* to the plaintiff; I also' applied some leeches to hint.

Of the vein which I opened there run several small Mu:Smits and twittery. Mr. Alfred Blercke—l was called upon to attend the plaintiff about ten days after he had been bled by the defendant's apprentleb ; I attended him six or seven days; the atilt ithprosed during that time; when I first saw it, there was a very extensive inflammation; the inflammation arose from bleeding; I know no symp toms by which can ascertain when the fascia is in fl treed; the infiansibitiolt. of one or several nerves would not produce the appearances which I saw ; the. inflammation of the integuments and cellular stern tisane would have produced the appearances which I saw, and this inflammation may hate happened without any negligence in the medical attendant; I have fre• quently observed such appearances where every thing l 'had been done correctly ; I know no manner of ascer taining that the tendon is inflamed; By a Juror—l saw no' reason' to • think in the care *tithe operation had not been skilfully and propetly ;perforated. Dr. Cartick—l have practised ..the profession of physic for thirty-nine years; I have often seen bleed ing when performed by the most skilful operators fol lowed by inflaminatinn, which endangered life. Mr. Daniel, who his been a surgon for twenty years, of which time he has been eighteen years surgeon to the Infirsharfin this city, and Mr. Lime, who has been in the same situation for.ihjrty years, all agreed that there was not the shightest ground for imputing -negli 'gence toMr:Grace in his manner of treating 'the plaintiff.
