CHARACTAR OP THIS WORK. MONTHLY MIRROR.-- .. Wheu it is considered, that this valuable work, upon one of the tilost important subjects that can engage the investigation and pet of the medi cal practitioner, has undergone a ninth edition, it will be admitted, that the public has not been inattentive to its me rits. The object of this little treatise is, to recommend the use of Codhage, or Cowitch, (the Dolichos Pruriens of Linnrus,) as a powerful and safe vermifuge. The ingenious ' writer has compressed a great deal of highly valuable mat ter into a Mill compass; and we should not be doing oar duty, were we not strongly to recommend it to the further notice of the public."—Jan. 'SOS, page 41. Ecierric Revtew.—" Whoever contributes to the dimi nution of human misery, is deservedly reckoned among the benefactors of mankind. The promulgation made by the author, of the edicacy of the Dolichos Pruriens, in removing one of the common. and often most dangerous. diseases, especial.y of infancy and poverty, appears to be a well es tablished fact. Medicine must have the test of experience. Tile very respectable attestations of this Simple, from medi cal men of the first eminence, stamps confidence on the Cow bsge, or Cowitch, in vermicular complaints. A ninth edition of the pamphlet shows that it has engaged very gene ral attention, as indeed it deserves, if this plant be raund alike effisasious in d-stroying all the various kinds of worms which breed in the human body. We very earnestly re commend the use of this medicine, so innocent, so easily taken, and apparenty so enicacious, and we cordially thank Mr. Chamberlaioe for making it thus universally known. and not c meeting it as a nostrum."—klay, tbo, page_ $6O. UNIT% .SAL MAGAZINL.—" This is a small tract, but of sufficient importance in society to d notice. The health of an interesting portion of every generation is con cerned in the well understanding and judielons treatment of this disease, so common to children. We have, besides, lately heard of the fatal effects of a Worm. Medicine, too generally and too indiscriminately given. Calomel, and other preparations of Mercury, are general had recourse to ; sod such powerful medicines more frequently do harm than good.—ln describing the symptoms of worms. Mr. C. deserves to be well attended to ; for, as there is no pathog comic sign of them, (seeing them, or parole of teem, is alone 1 a certainty,) those diagnostics most strongly denoting their presence mast be attended to. to fact, there is not a symp tom, indicative of worms, which may not be experienced by other disorders ; and this the writer, with proper candour, acknowledges Himself.—Under this certainty, then, what can we do better, than prescribe that vermifuge inediciue whirl', if our conjectures are right, will remote the dis ease ? and, if we are not mistaken. will neither aggravate the ill, nor expose the suit:or: to new maladies and claw's. Under this view of the case, we ran safely refer the afflicted, or their friends, to the perusal of the • ark before us, and the mullein:lade coarse it points out."—slay, ISO.), p. 417. M .

Mr. Sergeant PELL stated that this was an action m trespass brought by the plaintiff, who is a farmer resid ing near Penzance, spinet the defendant, who is the huntsman of a pack of hounds, to reenver damages for a trespass. At Penzance, the Jury tnust know, lawyers— or rather attorneys, were exceedingly numerous, and to the credit of the place be it said, ex.7eeitingly prosper ous. These gentry, who, for the benefit of the country, lived so well, hunted, aA it would appear, in more ways then one, and had actually set up a park of hounds—the attorneys had kept the defendant Jacks as their hunts mar., and every clay sway the blatli troop went—with horse and hound—whoop and hallna—over the lands of the neighbouring firmer., with Jacka. or Jackal, in tlrst. The Learned Sergeant said he would not sly who fol- Ineed last, whether any old gentleman in black or nut, be it was said that a certain sooty, bumble-footed per sonage, was the hindmost—(laughter)—and though he bad not the honour of being first in the chaee, drove all the rest hefeee him. It would be curious to know the ' names which these gentlemen rave to their doss. The flowed ea'le'i by " Direorret," or " Caplets," and so on.— . ow, farmer Barnard did not choose to have his grounds ridden over by these gentlemen, who set so little bounds to their pleasures, and he gave notice to Jacks, their huntsman, rot to trespass • again upon his frrounds. Jacks, however, backed as be was, t eared Ibis notice with contempt, and the very nest thus he led ont the troop in that direction, conducted his pack over farmer Bavitsrtl's grounds in pursuit of the litre. The present action was brought in consequence, not for any vindic tive damages, but merely for such as would prevent a re petition of this conduct, and the Jury would doubtless stow by their verdict that even attorneys toast respect the property of their neighbonrs. The first witness called was Mr. Andrew Stephens, who stated that he was - steward to Sir Rose Price, and proved tWleiFice of 'a notidb not to trespass upon the plaintiff's ground, or the defendant. On his cross-exa- Inination the witness said he was sent by Sir Rose Price to the plaintiff to know whether lie would permit Jacka bind the Peurtnee hounds to hunt over his grounds, and Mr. Baynard said he would not. Witness bad obtained forftscore notices against Jacka and the lawyers front the neighbouring farmers there. The hunting greatly an norestSir Rose Price, who hail a large estate in that epialiber, and kept a pack of fox-hounds. He did not like (the witness admitted) the lawyers to hunt with their ba in his neighbourhood, as they considerably di is preserve. . IVtu.tagis complained gt Patty of the man- Pe • r li the Learned Sergeant had stated the case, to excite the prejudice of the Jury, who were farmers, against the defendant: But the fact was, that the far mers joine I in the chace, and why should men in that , station be debarred from availing th e mselv es in their I leisure hours of that noble and invigorating amusement? I Why should they, though humble men and tradesmen, be restrained from keeping their terriers, as well as Sir Rose Price his fox-hounds? Was it to be endured that the proud Sir Rose was to dictate to the farmers, the tenants, and order them, by his Steward, to deny to their equals that amusement, which Sir Rose wished to engross to himself. The Learned Counsel said he trusted the Jury would see this action, the fourscore notices, and the pro ceedings which had been commenced on most of them, in their proper light, as oppressive, tyranni 'al, and aristo cratical proceedings against which they ' lit to express their indignation. The plaintiff , or thee Sir Rose Price (for lie was the real prosecutor,) must have a ver dict; but his Lordship would doubtless take care, by refusing to certify that this was a proper CdEle for action to drevent the defendant, who was a i»or man, from be ing oppressed by the costs. The Learned Counsel was proceeding, when be was interrupted by Mr. Baron Hulloes, who asked whether the Learned Counsel intended to deny the fact of the trespass, and call witnesses. Mr. WILLIAMS replied in the negative. Mr. Baron HULLOCIL suggested that it would be equal , ly well to let the case go to the Jury without further observation. He was of opinion that the case was one its which he ought not to certify, and he certainly should nut. The Jury, after a few moments deliberation, re turned a verdict for the plainilf. Datuages-ss. 'Phis verdict dues not carry costs. _ b10N3101.1111 ASSIZE'S, APRIL 2. HAREAS--A POLITICAL CRIER. Mr. PEARSON addressed the Court on behalf of a per son named William James, who was, in the opinion of the learned Unitised, unlawfully det.dued in custody.— His object in making this application wag, to bring his client before the learned Judge, upon an Habeas, that he might be set at lih:rty. The grounds of his a ppli. ration neve tha.e :—ln the Borough of Newport, the 1•o al poli iit s of the place had arisen in a very co nsider ahle bright, these were two parties in the Itorougli, and they often mixed np with their Lucal differences the getierd politics of the country. There had been a dis agreement between the !largess's cue Aldermen, and meetings had heels held to discuss quegions "relat % ing to the conduct of each party. The prisoner, ham James, was the Tons Crier; and at the termina tion of one of those meetings, on snaking proclamation„ as was usual, it was alleged that he bad used highly im proper expressions--langnage that was not only in bad tits .e, bitt which, if he liail made use of 1 , deserved lire l se verest reprehension and p it nishment: eut the allega• !ion was most positively denied, and in fart the aceisei asserted that smelt lineage was inimical to his feel ings and opinions, and that it was impossible he could pare used it. The language imputed to him was this— "s iti save the Crier and the King, an I aft other rogues r JuDuu—lle places himself before the King ? " TAUNTON ASSIZBS, APRIL!. 'rue ZING v. J O HN conratsox. John Robertson, a surgeon. who was some time at l'. cheater, wb're he was called in to assist the then surgeon of Delimiter gaol, was indicted for a frno , l upon the county. At the Michaelmas Sessions of 1821, be pre sented his charge for the assi•dance al rendered. amnin ing to the sum of 10!. 16s. The ftingietrati aof the Se— lions, considered the Bill as extravagant an refused to allow it.'` The matter remained over until the Epipliati I Sessions. 1522, when the llitl ag as ag iiu presented ; and, upon a consideration of it, the stun of six pounds sit shillings was offered to the defendant, who .ass pees =Lt. and which stun be accepted. The hill. which begon wit n. "'The County of Somerset, to J. Itobert,on," a!er reel - ing tit- tarious charg= a, concluded with tl.e totslaif it:. 16s. The'Clerk of the Peace, in the usual coarse of ba sin's', wrote at the foot of the bill " Epiphany Semious, 1822. Six pounds six shillings inlayed." The bill was then signed by the Clerk of the Peace and Mr. Dickenson, the county member, and other Magistrates, and chits had the shape of an order which was to be presen'ed to Olt county Treasurer. Some time after this order got amongst the Treasurer's papers (by whom presented was flit known), with the words " W. 65. - ' obliterated ; so th.st the word " al;owed." with the signatures of the Magistrates followed immediately the original stins, ac.l made it an order for that moonlit. Soml time after Vic bill bad been allowed in the manner stated, an attorney named Mr.ltaine, came to the Treasurer's mil present •,1 an order from the defendant. which, in effset, d. sired ton Trea•nrev to pay Mr. Bailie the sem allowed to bid:. The Treasurer, or whoever was in the office, on tornii.a: to the bill, which, from the obliteration of the wort:{ Six pounds six shillings," ap; eared to lie en or.'er ler 101. 165., paid that stun, eonceiving it to be tbirsum „i• lowed to the defendant; he received it; and thsugh !:e knew it to he a larger VIM thin he wiis entitled to, nevi r offered 10 return it. Who presented the hill to the Tee.- • surer did not appear, for the Treasurer, in the inulti t lit city of leis builiess..eitold not till from whom he teceived it.. The Alagistrates.of the eonnty, upon the discovery I that the sum of IW. 16s. bad been obtained by thens• - I fendant, considered it necessary to institute the prawn t don. ; - The case for the pteeeeution having been stated, acd evidence adduced in its support, Mr. tiritrot addresse l the .Jary in behalf of the defendant, and among otli..r 'things observed, that it waettiztreuiely. probable, that being there when Mr. Itaitie applied from the defendant for the payment of " tbe sum allowed tojeitn," that some ' clerk, without looking for or at the 111111, and baying hear.' mention of the sum of 10!. 165., paid the bill la the off-hand manner in which•much of the business was often transacted. It was not impossible that when the clerk or person who paid it discovered the etror, in order to retrieve it he made the obliteration which was LO4 found on the face of the instrument. Mr. Baron Hotaioce, in his charge to the Jurr, on served that he thought it a violent and extreme supposi tion that a clerk might have wade the obliteration in the order. It was clear that the defendant knew of the ors r having been in time hands of the 'Treasurer; it was not martial therefore to show that the defendant himself took it there. The material irestion for the consider ation 'of the Jury was, whether the defendant was aware of the alteration of the bill before he sent tie order, ant what was the import of the defendant's expre•sion, that he " had done" the Magistrates, and whether the money hail been paid to him by mistake, and not by any fral dulent contrivance or obliteration on his part.
