O THEPROPRIETROS— _OF EAST INDIA S'J LArnEs AND GENTLEMEN, AFTER. the numerous promises of support I have received, the steady and persevering kindness of my Friends, and in the full hope and prospect of eventual sue cess, it is with the greatest reluctance I feel myself compel led to RELINQUISH the pursuit of an object so honour able and so important as a SEAT in the DIRECTION of your AFFAIRS; and which has so long been the subject of my favourite ambition. Great and distinguished, however, as the honour is, which that high sit ua ti on con f ers , it i s one which, if I had the good fortune to attain, I could not consent to hold but with the conscientious determination of fulfilling the dUties it imposes in their strict and literal genie. With increasing calls upon my time and attention, arising faint a variety of family circumstances, I consider it would, - therefore, be using unworthily the influence and good opinion of my Friends to solicit a continuance of their favour, to place me in so responsible a situation now that I find my occupations will not allow me to give that attention to its duties, which its importance, their just expectations, and my own honour, would regime of me. I retire from this pursuit with a heart deeply impressed with gratitude for the many proofs 1 have experienced of personal attachment and Or esteem for my family l and for the courteous • and polite reception I have met with during my canvass. I have the honour to be, with great respect, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most faithful and obliged Servant, WILLIAM CURTIS, Jun. 61, Portland-place, May 13, 1823. 'OCK.

COURT OF KING'S BENCII, MAY 13. IMPROPER TREATMENT OF A LUNATIC. LEECH M. D. v. VEITeII, This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a Doctor of Me dicine, to recover from the defendant, who is also a Doctor of Medicine l compensation in damages, for the injury sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the cruelty of the defendant's servant; and also damages for the unskilful and negligent treat ment of the plaintiff by the defendant, whilst he was confined in the defendant's lunatic asylum at the Rosalyn Cottages, Bromp . ton. Mr. SCARLET r, with whom was 31r.Wightman, havingstated the case for the plaintiff; called witnesses, who proved that in October 1821, the plaintiff being insane, was placed under the care of the defendant, who has a private lunatic asylum at Brampton. The plaintiff's principal keeper was a person named Richards, who treated him very cruelly. On the 29th of March 1822, the plaintiff; having a strait waistcoat on, made his escape out of the house into the road, where he was seen in that condition by a gentleman named Capper, who .pursued him, and having come up with him, found hint concealed in a ditch, from which he took him out, and asked him what was the matter. The plaintiff' told him that he was confined in that asylum, and was treated so cruelly that he wished to make his escape from it. Just at that mo ment Richards, his keeper, came up and shaking his fists in the plaintiff 's face, said . , "By o—, Doctor, you shall catch it for this," and forced the plaintiff into the yard before the house,.where, according to the evidence of the defendant's servants, Richards knocked the plaintiff down se veral times, and then forcing him up stairs, knocked him down in 'the dining room, strapped him on a chair, and prac tised many other cruelties upon him. The defendant, it ap peared, was a man who would not listen to any complaints from one of his servants against the other ; at least, that was the rea son assigned by most of the witnesses who now came forward, for not acquainting the defendant with the cruelty exercised by Richards towards the plaintiff' and another patient, named Hamilton, whom Richards used frequently to knock down, and on one occasion blackened his eyes. On the Sunday after the plaintiff attempted to escape, the defendant came to the cot tages, and having told Mary Wainwright that the plaintiff in formed him that Richards used him cruelly, asked her if it were true; to which she replied, " the fact is so, but Richards is listening and 1 can't tel you any more." Upon which the de fendant coolly observed, " Richards is a very good keeper, and the Doctor can't expect to be treated like a school girl." The plaintiff was then put under a course of mercury, which was continued until Richards was discharged, and another keeper, named Beresford, was employed in the month ofJune ; at which time the tubbing in and the taking mercury internally were discontinued—the plaintiff having at that time been under a course (as the defendant and Richards informed Beresford) neariy three months. When Beresford became the keeper of the plaintiff he found him scarcely able to getin or out of bed, and a horrible stench issued from his clothes, his bed, and from a closet in which was a quantity of clothes 'soiled from mercury, some of which must have been (judgingfrom the state in which they then were) three months in the closet. The mode of treatment was, the plaintiff rose at half-past four o'clock in the morning, took a glass of black dose, took a long walk (about an hour's walk), returned, had a breakfast of coffee; at dinner, either fish, broth, or apple-dumpling, and took another long walk in the cool of the evening. Durmg these walks the plaintiff was in so weak a state that Beresford was afraid he would die some day when he was out with him, and he was oftep obliged to rest during his vialk for twenty minutes together. In the meantime Mr. Capper having told several people . what he had witnessed, and having applied to Mr. flails at Bow-street for a warrant to apprehend the keepers, thestory reached the ears of the plaintiff's family, and his father, sister, and brother, came to see him at Rosslyn Cottages, about 12tlays after Beresford had taken charge of him. The defendant directed Beresford to make the plaintiff read a copy of his delusions six or seven times a day, and if he 'should hear any thing drop from the plaintiff's family, to cons -ninnicate it to hint (ddmiant), but not to take any notice of Miss Leach because she was as mad as her brother. Beresford made the plaintiff read the paper of his delusions so frequently, that when his brother came lie was able to read it correctly, and the defendant said, " You see he is now well ;" but the plaintiff was not at that time well, as he told Beresford that he intended to set him up as a snuff manufacturer in Hanway.yard, and to become his partner. One of the plaintiff's delusions was that he was a snuff manufacturer. The plaintiff was then removed to Blandford-place, Regent's Park, and lieresford accompanied 'him at his request. On the 14th of July, 1822, Dr. Sutherland was applied to visit the plaintiff' at Blandford-place, where he found him in a state of great debility, apparently labouring under the influence of mercury. Dr. Sutherland recommended a dif ferent treatment from that practised by the defendant. He (Dr. S.) recommended the plaintiff to take nourishing things, to keep still and quiet, and not to walk much ; and his delu sions were now almost completely removed, but so strongly was the system acted upon by mercury, that the salivation in..some degrees still continues. Although Dr. S. thought highly im proper that a person so strongly acted upon by mercury sho u ld take long walks, yet he could not condemn the use of mercury, by another gentleman whose hypothesis he did not know, net- 1 titer could he give an opinion upon the use of it until he knew the state of the patient at the time it was administered—his constiattion—the quantity administeredthe caution observed in administering it, and the precautions taken against too much exposure of the patient. He should know all these circum stances before he would venture an opinion in condemnation of the treatment adopted by any medical man, but he had no hesitation in saying, that if the use of mercury hid been pent. vered in the plaintiff had not stamina sufficient to Suffer it. He would be ginded by the state of th e p a ti e nt's bowels' as to t h e use of opening medicine whilst in a Rune of salivation. Mr. BROUGHAM, with whom was Mr. D. F. Josets ad. impossible s a i t b c l e o con si derable defendant,abl e length, whosaend li v elihoodeontenddede p t e h n a d t e i d t dressed w was utterly upon his professional character, would suffer his servants to use any of his patients in the way in which it was said the plaintiff wits treated. ,With respect to the other part of the charge, namely, that the e lnintiti* was unskilfully t rea t e d, i t was not possible to bring, in the present case, or indeed in most cass, any evidence to rebut that imputation, except evidence as to general skill and ability, and he trusted that he should offer evidence which would place beyond all doubt the medical skill of the defendant. The Learned Counsel then called witnesses, who proved, that in the spring of 1821 the plaintiff was fur three months under the care of the defendant, who cured him and his mother of in sanity. The plaintiff went home, and after hiving been away for some time had is relapse,. again returned to town, and came to the house of his friend Lady Molesworth, Hertford -street, May-fair, who introduced the family to the defendant, who was introduced to her for that purpose by Dr. Wardwp, of Charles street, St. Janies's-square, and it was again agreed that the plaintiff should he placed under the care of the defendant, and lie was accordingly taken in a coach from Lady3lolesworth's house to the Rosalyn Cottages. During the plaintiff's former illness he was affected with iliver-coinplaint; and Dr. Wardrop, who was then professionally consulted, agreed with the de fendant in the propriety of having the system strongly acted upon by mercury, which was done, and a cure was effected, when the plaintiff came to town in October or November 1021. Dr. Wardrop was again consulted, and he agreed with the de fendant in the propriety of again applying mercury, as the action of the liver was materially deranged. lie did not see the plaintiff after the month of March —never after the mer cury was used ; but, as far as he could form an opinion he thought the treatment of the defendant very judicious, and he thought him exceedingly skilful in diseases of the mind, as be had been for some time at the head of the Asylum for the Lu natics of the Navy. Lady Molesworth and her daughter saw the plaintiff during his stay at Rosslyn Cottages, and although they pressed him to say if be were badly treated, he always said, No ; that he was treated as his case ought to be, that be was in debted to the defendant and to Richards, and that he was cer tain he should he soon quite r ec o vere d. 'A person who kept a nursery.ground near the Rosalyn Cottages, frequently saw the plaintiff walking in the ground, and be always thought him treated with kindness and humanity ; and when he saw him with Bereaford walking, he was certainly feeble, but well able to walk. J. Cubits and Alexander 31 , Nicholl, two of the keepers at the Cottages, swore, that the plaintiff was treated in the gentlest manner; and a gentleman, whose brother is now illumine, and under the care of Richards, proved that lie treated him in the gentlest manner. Dr. J. Ware, of the Medical Department in the Victualling Board, and Dr. Burnett, coni,,, missioner of the Sick and Hurt Office, knew the defendant for ninny years, and believed hint to be a most skilful, judicious, and humane physician. Mr. SCAULETT, in rept, contended, that however skilful the-defendant might be in profisaion, and however high hie I character for humanity and kindness, yet still he was answerable for the misconduct of his servant, and the injudichms use of a violent medicine, which hal reduced the plaintiff almost to death's door. The Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case for the Jury, and left it to them to consider, first, whether the plain tiff had been subjected to undue severity on- the part of the de fendant's servant, for which, if satisfactorily made out, the defendant was responsible; and, secondly, whether, notwith standing the high testimonials as tb the defendant's skill and judgment, - there was any want of care on his part in the 4(.1. ministration of medicines for the purpose of curing the disease? The Jury consulted a considerable time, and found their vera diet for the plaintiff--llamages, 501. The trial lasted the whole day. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY 13. GENOA AND ITS DEPENDENCIES. Dr. PlinersionE appeared in this case on behalf of his Ex cellency Count Ludolf, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of the Two Sicilies to this Court, in virtue of an Order in Council,' issued on the 26th of July, 18• x?, by which Count Ludolf was authorized " to re ceive certain prize-money due to Sicilian offiterS, scitinen. and soldiers, for captures made in conjunction with his Britannic Majesty's sea and land forces during the late wars,"' in the manner and according to the terms of two several Acts of Par liament ; the one that of the 17th Geo. 111. cap. 47, the other 48 Goo. 111. cap. 100. An act on petition had been entered into by both parties, and the Learned Counsel understood that some objection was to be taken to the Order in Upuncil. [The prize-money in question is due principally On the caP tures and booty, which were made in the year 1814, on the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean Sea, by the heet and army of his Sicilian Majesty; acting in conjunction with the British forces, and particularly for the prize taken in the corn. mencement of the same year by the Sicilian portion of an expe dition planned and commanded by Vice-Admiral Sir E. Pei lew, Bart. (now Lord Exmouth), the Naval Conimander-ine Chief, on the Mediterranean station, and Lieutenant-Ge neral Lord William Bantinek, Commander:in-chief of hie Majesty's Land-forces employed in the Mediterranean, as sisted by the Navy and Army of the King of the Similes, at the reduction of the city and fortress of Genoa. Other prize-monies are also claimed tut due to Sicilian captors on the following enemy's ships and vessels captured by the seine description of forces—namely, La Ca Ira, be Censeur, and L'Expedition, captured in the year 1794; L'Acide, in 1795 t and La Diana, in 1800; and on the capture of Malta, on the 15th of September, 1800 ; of Genoa anti Savona, in June, 1800; of Tarragona, on the 19th of August, 1813; of Genoa and Savona, again, on the 19th of April, 1814 of Spezzia, on the 30th of .March, 1813;' of the island of Zante, Cephalonia, and Cerigo, on the 2d and 12th of October, 1899 ; of Santa Maura, in April, 1810; of Curzola, on the 29th of January, 1813 ; of Agosta, the 3d of February, 1813; of Ponza, the 28th of February, 1814 ; and of Diarnente, on the Bth of September, 1808. Of these monies, many shares had not yet been claimed by the Sicilian captors entitled thereto, in consequence of the distribution having been made in England, and on other ac counts, and being paid into the treasury of Chelsea Hospital for the most part. Count Ludolf, in virtue of the two acts of Parliament, and of the Order in Council, applied to the trea sury to pay over the same to him, to be remitted to Naples and Sicily for the benefit of the parties interested-. This ap plication being refused, proceedings have been instituted in this Court. I.Ard STOWELI asked, whether the refusal to pay depended,. merely on the wording of the act, or of the order in council ? The King's ADVOCATE replied in the affirmative. It would be his duty to submit, that upon referring to the act, the word ing would be found not to go so far as to include this case. It was made with a view to give Sicilian captors the benefit of sharing in certain priie proceeds arising out of former captures ; but though it had clearly such a retrospective operation tthe' second act, or 48 Geo. 111. was only to explain and amend the preceding one), yet it had no prospective operation to such an extent as to bring this case otGenoa and its dependencies with. in its scope. This was the difficulty that the hospital had felt in the case ; and it was one, perhaps,_ that could only be re moved by the bringing in a new Act of Parliament. Dr. Answer), who was with his Majesty's Advocate, added,. that the general tenour of the order was correct, but the emu meration was supposed to be erroneous. Dr. PIIILLIAIMIE and ":Ir. LUMINOTON, for the claim ants, contended, that if the act of the 48th Geo. HI. was pass cd with a view to give the Sicilian captors the benefit of a re trospective and beneficial enactment, a,furtiori it must be taken to protect them, prospectively, in the case of any similar dis tributions to be made at future periods. The opposition set up by the Learned Counsel on the other side went to infer that this order in council was literally good for nothing. Nothing more was now asked at the hands of the Court, backed as the request was by the authority of that order, than that the same payment out of the treasury of the Chelsea Hospital should be made to Count Ludolf, which was made under the 48th of the late King, to the Prince Casteleicala, who was then the Neapolitan . ambassador. The KING'S ADVOCATE intimated, that the opposition in this case was founded upon an opinion which hail been inti mated by the Law Adviser* of the Crown, that the wording of the Act would not quite embrace the grant. Lord STowEti. said, that in that case it would be well that some communication should be had with the Law Ofiir•ers of the Crown and the case had better stand over till that should have been made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Dow-STnEET—Yesterday Charles Hall Was brought up by Duke and Jennings, two of the patrol, charged with violently assaulting the former while in the execution of his duty, at the fire in New-street, Covent-garden.—He was ordered to give 2.4 hours notice of hail for his appearance at the Sessions. George Payne was also charged with en assault upon Bond, jun. one of the patrol, at the fire.—He expressed great con trition, and was suffered to arrange the matter privately with Bowl. . Mr. Brown, the Secretary to the Westminster Fire Office; stepped forward and said, he felt it his duty to state that he was upon the spot soon after the fire broke out, and saw a multi• tude of thieves in a very short time collected together, who-en deavoured to force their way into several of theatijoining houses, where there was much valuable property, anti would have succeeded, but for the prompt anti determined interference of die Bow-street pOlice. lie felt pleasure in bearing testimony to their excellent conduct. It was impossible that men could, render more eflicient service than they did upon this occasion. 31r, am extremely glad to find that our officers have so conducted themselves as to merit such an eulogium. The best reward they can earn is the commendation of the,. public. MARLBonouou-STREET.—lfannah Ingram was brought up yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Conant, charged • with having stolen a rug. Mr. John Dimmock, of High Holborn, linen-draper, &c: stated, that on Monday afternoon, about for o'clock, his shop was much crowded, when the prisoner was observed by some of his customers to enter it and remove the rug, which was after. wards traced. Two of the unfortunate woman's daughters were in. the office during the examination, who informed the 31agistrate that their mother was addicted to drinking; and they felt assured that she could not have been guilty of the crime with which she was charged, but from the miserable intluence of liquor. Several of the prisoner's friends, likewise highly respectable, were particularly solicitous on the daughters' account. They all gave the prisoner an excellent character. excepting her toe► frequent inebriation.—The Magistrate said he felt it his duty to commit the prisoner for trial. RECORDER'S R EPO.
