i. \ 1 V 2-1-s bottled that the Dicer could the Doctor could, by his advert it was not genuine; adding, that he wan very well paid for his medicine at a shillings bottle, for all the medicine be had made did not cost him. than two puncheons of rem, by which he bad &salmi an immense fortune, and purchased a large estate. Were quacks, therefore, to continue their impositions on the public with impunity, and were men of science to be punished for exposing their tricks to ridicule? The subject of such quackery had been most ad mirably ridiculed by a celebrated writer, whose writings became more valuable as they grew older. Dr. Goldsmith, in his Chinese Letters, speaking of quacks, said, " When 1 consider the assiduity of this profession, their benevolence amazes me. They not only in general give the rnimlicines for half value, but use the most persuasive remonstrances to induce the sick to come and be cared. Sute there must be some thing strangely obstinate in an English patient, who refuses so much health upon such easy terms ! Dors he take pride in bloated with a dropsy ? Does he find pleasure in the alternations of au intermit tent fever, or feel as much satisfatiou in nursing up his gout, as he found pleasure in acquiring it ? He tenet, otherwise he would never reject such repeated assurances of instant relief. What can be more con vincing than the manner in which the sick are invited to be well ? The Doctor first begs the most earnest at tention of the public to what be is going to propose ; he solemnly affirms the pill was never found to cant succesi; he produces a list of those who have been res• cued front the grave by taking it. Yet notwithstanding all this, there are many here who now and then think proper to be sick! Only sick : did 1 say ? There are some think proper to die. Yes, by the head of Confu cius they die, though they might have purchased the health -restoring specific for half-a-crown at every cor ner." Would the Jury thenin the present case give the plaintiif a verdict, for that which was hut a legitimate exposure of his quackery, without malice, or any ill intention imputable to the defendant. The Jury immediately interposed, and expressed themsAves satisfied. 'I lie Cuter Jus•rtcr, however, summed up the case, and they found a verdict for the defendant. STENT V. rasa. This was an action against the defendant as a spe cial bailee, being the proprietor of the Dell and Crown roach-office, Holborn, to recover the sum of 1.300/.1 the amount of a parcel of local bank note•, which he was entrosted to convey by the Poole Mail to Christ church, !;ants, where the plaintif f s carry on business as bankers. The question was whether, under the circumstances the defendant was liable. It appeared by the evidence adduced, that the defendant, instead of sendin4 the parcel by the mail, had sent it by a light coach to tionthaniptots, and on its way there it was abstracted, as was supposed, by a person who had taken a place inside, and who had got out at Farn ham. 'flue next day the agents of the plaintiff in town (Boger, and Co.) paid off the swirl' notes to the amount of 1,051 q. bs•fore the rubbery was dis covered. Mr. SCARLET'', Mr. 51Anavavr, and Mr. Pot.t.oca conducted the case for the plaintiff. The Some', on tiesen.st., Mr. Lt T!.FI) %LE, and Mr. PARKE managed the defence. The Jnry found a eerdlet for the plain:UT—Damages. ►,050/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCILDHALL, MARCH 8. Before CVO' Justice Dallas and a /Special Jury. SEVERN, KING, ANU CO. C.

This was an action on a policy of insurance effected on the Plaintiff's sugar-house in llulywell-street, Whitechapel, which was destroyed by fire on the 10th November, 1.b.4.19; which action was resisted by the Company on the ground that a material alteration in the machinery for boiling the suaar had been intro duzed bv the Plaintiffs without the Defendants' knowledge, of which they were entitled to notice by the conditions of the policy. After hearing Counsel and examining witnesses the Learned .ludge charged the Jury, and after a few mo ments' consultation, found that the new process was less dangerous; but that, upon the wonting of the policy, the Defendants ought to have had notice of it. • • NA TICA L 1111,t1GENCE.

COURT•OF KINO's BENCH.—MARCS 6. 1. idun Atijounted Sittings after Hilary Ten% before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries. _ ,~ ITIIIIIII, V. aillClt M. O. . 1 This was an action for a libel. The declaration itt Jed, that the plaintiff being a surgeon and an inventor et: patent medicine called " Rymer's Cardiac and Nervonz Tincture," the defendant published a libel in 'a veriodical work, called " The Gazette of Health, alti thereby caused it to be belie ved that ittu plaintiff WAS to surgeon, sad that his medicine was injurious many respects. The defendant pleaders. a justifi-, ewion, and averred that the plaintiff's medicine was .et improper one in many disorders, and if. taken in disorders would be attended with fatal effects. do defendant's pleas issue was joined. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. OVIINEY 4,t1 , 1 Mr. CHITTT, and the defendant's by Mr. SCAR tErr and Mr. IiCTCMINSUN. The trial of the case produced mach fun and titer ririent in the Court. The plaintiff was a practising surgeon and apothecary at Reigate, in Surrey, having b..en in the year 1790,a surgeon on board a man of %vat, and now enjoying half pay in that respect. In the month of July, 1792, he took out a patent for his Cardiac and Nervous Tincture, the basis of which row si-ted of brandy and seadeira, with the maceration of it:tint list of simples, and almost all the spices of Arabia Felix. 't he prospectus of the invention con etined a prodigiously long Catalogue of its virtues, and the diseases which it was calculated to cure. No soots than IG diseases, of the most opposite qualities, would give tray to its sanative influence ; it was dia phoretic, a febrifuge, a tonic, a menagogite, a seila tit e, a cephalic, good for dispepsia, an aperient, a sti mulant, a corroborative, an aromatic; in short, it was a panaera for all imaginable diseases incident to the huwatu Cram , both mental and bodilv, in all climates; nay, it was an infallible cure for su dden death'. In No. 2 of the 4th vol. of The Gristle of Health, the defendant, who was stated to be the proprietor of that work, and a gentleman of some celebrity with re fen-nee to the Prophetess Johanna Soutlicutt, pub lished a criticism ou the plaintiff's medicine and the empiricism of his prospectus, containing also some oh ?mations in ridicule of the plaintiff's assuming the dignity of Esquire. There was a good deal of hu mour in the criticism, the principal object of which appeared tp be rather to point out the injurious conse en ce of the plaintiff's nostrum, if taken in all the diseases for which it was held forth as an infallible v:tre, particularly iu febrile and inflammatory diseases, o:an to impute any thing noxious to the medicine it- F if taken as a tonic in certain cases. The plain tiff's patent hail long since expired, and of late years the sale of his medicine had greatly decreased. The CHM Justice permitted evidence to be re ceived, that the plaintiff's medicine was useful in eer t.!in diseases, that being part of his allegation in the e.!cl.aration. The Rev. R. Jordan, Vicar of Ifoo, near Rochester , stated that he was cured of paralysis_ by the plaintiff's medicine. The cure was advertised in Mr. Rynter's Mr. Creswell, of Reigate, had been afflicted with debility in his stomach from taking strong green tea. Me left off drinking green tea altogether; then took three of the plaintiff's bottles, and got well. lit-some Ctn.! took Port wine in aid of the medicine. Miss Peel:man, also a neighbour of the plaintiff, at }frigate, was cured of spasms in her stomach hr taking this tincture. Mr. Scattier r addressed the Jury with his usual ability, and treated the action as one deserving no thing but contempt and derisun. Had oe lived to this day, and notorious quacks be permitted to bring actions for criticisms upon their nostrums ?—Were men of science to be brought before Courts of Justice for ridiculing their etnpiricisnt, and pointing out to the unwary the hazard of taking their deleterious d:c rs ? This gentleman had sent forth into the world a pat:ace:l for all e.i.sorders of the most opposite symp toms and qualities, holding out health and vigour to t to patiri t in cases, were the medicine might produce redden death, and was not a man of science to he at liberty to detect the imposition, and warn the public n-,ainst the danger they incurred ? Such erratic pub -1 i rations were of vast public benefit, because they elle tiled persons who had not access to large medical and scientific libraries, to detect fraud and imposition. Tile supposed libel was nothing more than a fair criti civet upon the plaintiff's quackery, and if it was mixed With a little ridicule, It was the more likely to be sa rlittary in its effect. In this point of view the case fell • •iirec:&e:y within the rule laid down by Lord Ellenbo rough in S7r J. Carr v. Hood ; in'which the plaintiff was ridiculed as the fau4fiag-car. In that case a witness was called to prove, that in consequence of reading a criticlsta in Thc Edi..burgh Eerie a., upon the plain tirs bock, he had declined reading his works. upon which the Learned Judge congratulated him upon the escape lie hail had, and told him that be was the bet ter for it. So in this case, how many people must be the better for not taking the plaintiff's nostrum, in consequence of the warning voice of the defendant ? The plaintiff professed to mire no less than Iti mortal diseases, by the all powerful influence of his tincture; and atuoagst its other virtues, it was c dculated to cure tiatidi!g Would that, if such was its virtues, the likrintitf would be good enough to ship off a cargo of his medicine to the Kingdom of Naples, and in spire its inhabitants to the vigorous assertion of its kolitiral rights. On this ocraviou he could not re frain from relating a story of the celebrated Dr. .-.0-ionton, ionton, who amassed an immense fortune by his llalin of (Mead, which be sold at 10s. 61. a bottle.
