DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the sam's princip'es, the S.lciety is enabled to word to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta !eons than anv hitherto offere I, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly. or weekly saving, may se ture either a comfortable provisi,m for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a police to his family at his Leath ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of horrowin, two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfe , ture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording 111 ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to hts representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan sges which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I.

To pluck a beauteous flower. " Fair lady," ((moth the chosen 13100 m, When taken from its stem) " Those roses have a rich perfume— Why take a tulip from the loom, Instead of one of them ?" Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed TLc golden-petalled flower : " Fair bloom, it w ,s thy beauteous crest. Which made me choose thee from the. :rest, • That b:ossorn in the bower. " Flora has clothed thee with etire. Which few but thee a•sume ; And %is this dress which ranks the lalsher, However mach I may admire The rose's scented bloom." I heard—and smile not v,hen I say I thought of Moses' Mart, Where fashion's tuver-, in choice display. Attract admirers, day by day, From many a distant part. This splendid suit, by Moses made, Has won Cecilia's smile ; She thinks the beauty nere displa)ied. Casts every other in the shade, In paint of make and style. Had it not been for M. and Son, • She might have passed me by ; • But dress like this, excelled by no ne, Has, like the tulip's beauty, won Cecilia's judging eye. LIST OF PRICE'. EXAM MAXI.

The deceased, in December, 1848, was sentenced to seven years' transportation at the Clerkenwell sessions, and removed to the above prison. On Friday last she was attacked with a complaint of the stomach, but she had instant attendance from Dr. Levies, who was in the prison. She got worse, and Dr . Levies saw her on Saturday morning. She had then unmistakable symptoms of cholera of the Asiatic character, from which she died the same nght. Dr. Levies, in answer to questions put by the Coroner, said that they bad had several cases of cholera in the prison since the last jury sat, but the treatment, with the ex ception of this case, had been most successful. They had hsd 17 cases and seven deaths, but all the patients were convalescent now. The Inspector of Prisons and Surveyors of the Sewers bad inspected the sewer close by, and he understood it was now covered over. Up wards of 100 prisoners had also been removed, and the diet entirely changed, all soups being done away with. He would also suggest, at the request of the coroner and jury, that bodies for the future should not be kept in th. deadhouse till the jury saw them, but that they_should be placed in an open yard for their view. The jury re• turned a verdict of " Died of Asiatic cholera." The mercantile advices from Vienna of the 9th inst. state thst the decree which had just been issued for the compulsory receipt throughout Hungary and the adjoining provinces of such paper issues as may be created by the Austrian authorities at Pesth had pro duced,from the increase of irredeemable circulation which would thus be occasioned, a further unfavourable move ment in the foreign exchanges. The rate on London had advanced to 12 8, but some reaction had afterwards taken place, and the last quotation was 12-4. The pre mium on gold was 29, and on silver 19 per cent. The depreciation in the note issues had of course been fol lowed by a nominal rise in the funds, and the Five per Cents. were at 93k—a quotation which in specie would be equivalent to 64i.

THE PUBLIC AND MEDICAL MEN, GRIFFITH 3 V. WALFORD. This case, which, from the crowded state of the court, and the large attendance of medical practitioners, ap pears to have excited great interest in the medical world, came on for trial on Friday, the 13th ult., before Mr. Bullock, in the Guildhall County Court, London, As the case seems to involve a point of great importance between the public, the medical profession, and drug gists, we think it right to place it before our readers at some length. The plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Griffiths, oil merchant, of Wolverhampton, said that he felt himself in a peculiarly embarrassed position—in the first place, owing to the unavoidable absence of the Learned Counsel who wasex pecteds ctihua esa ext pwi en orttui the end c ae o nobi h n tas n d etie nue u nf ser c csia t meetlslsoay.o his tf tmehcNreaus Nevertheless, case; and confidence present sottthhtnahietdetsmesoe kind,n:c o ml ei n v d eiehans l s y ar tsr , dhis because tl e openum eritsrtodloueivffirri ncoa o gufn f l dtt h h ih oeii would esssf tli c w a e s ro e m , oi a tth n he d irm s w o , satistied was he that the jury and his Honour would patiently listen to the facts, and appreciate the motives which brought him into that Court, that he preferred going at once into the case himself, relying entirely upon its merits, and regardless of the adverse circumstances connected with his position in respect to it that day. The facts, as alleged in the plaint, were these—that on Sunday, the Ist of April lest, while in London on business, he felt himself taken ill with a violent irritability of the stomach, to which he was subject; and that being somewhat nervous dabouton ,h it, e determinedespecia l ly as so he lose e k n n e o w re medy which, in such cases, he had invariably found be neficial to himself and his family, viz.—a dose of Sir timethe cholera in fido to c% b fug in thLneo James Murray's fluid magnesia. He therefore went into a chemist and drueeist's shop—that of the defend -ants, Messrs. Ltinn and Watford. 149, Aldersgate-stroet, to procure it. Seeing, however, that there was only an apprentice boy in the shop, he was on the point of leav ing, when Mr. Walford came in. He immediately asked him for a dose of Murray's fluid magnesia, and a four grain calomel pill. Mr. WalfOrd, after putting one or two unimportant questions, and volunteering some advice and medicine of his own mixing, proceeded, as Mr. Griffiths supposed, to execute the order he had given him, and poured out from a bottle, which he had taken down, a dose of what Mr. Griffiths presumed was fluid magnesia. He noticed, however, the turbid appearance of the mixture, as contrasted with the clear and brilliant appearance usually presented by Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia, and observed to Mr. Walford— " Are you sure there is no mistake? I see some crystals in the bottle; this is not usual." " Oh," was Mr. Walford's reply, "it is all right, sir— lam a surgeon." On the faith of this assurance and in full reliance on Mr. Walford as a surgeon, " I swallowed the draught," said Mr. Griffiths, with a qualmish grimace at the recollection, and momentarily exclaimed, " you have given me Epsom salts, sir! You have done me an injury you can never compensate!" for ne must inform the jury that he had the greatest horror of Epsom salts; the drastic effects of which invariably increased the irritability of stomach to which he was liable, and excited inflammatory symptoms, to avoid which was the very reason he was in the habit of taking Murray's fluid magnesia. " Will you take your pill now, sir?" asked Mr. Watford. " No, sir," replied Mr. Griffiths, angrily, " I wish you had given me what I asked you for, sir. I wanted magnesia—fluid magnesia —not Epsom salts." " What! are you not aware," was Mr. Walfurd's reply, " that Epsom salts are magnesia? Will you take your pill, sir?" The plaintiff then angrily and peremptorily refused to take any more medicine of Mr. Walford's making, who then became excited in his Burn, and reiterated several times that he was a surgeon. Being now seized with violent head ache and nausea, the plaintiff hurried off to Messrs. Butler and Co., St. Paul's Churchyard, where he mentioned the circumstances, and procured a bottle of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill. On reaching his hotel, the action of the- salts had evidently increased his malady, superinducing colic pains in the stomach, and great ner vous excitement in the gastric region. In this condition he remained, purged and vomiting all that night and the next day, when, as soon as he could crawl out, he pro ceeded to Messrs. Lunn and Walford's shop, in Alders gate street, to remonstrate with Mr. Walford on the matter, and to demand an apology. He found,. however, that, instead of apologising, that gentleman took high ground, and seemed to think that he had done quite right—whereupon Mr. Griffiths declined any further explanation, as offered by Mr. Walford, and told him he would seek reparation in a court of justice. " Now, gen tlemen," said Mr. Griffiths, addressing himself to the jury, " it is for this injury that I seek redress at your hands. Believe me, it is not with me a question of amount of damages. lam compelled, as a means of bringing the matter before the Ceurt, to claim certain amages, and I have therefore estimated the stoppage of my works, my compulsory delay in London, and conse quent loss, at a definite amount; but I care not what you e ive me, it you give me a verdict—the damages, what ever they may be, I shill present to the South Staf fordshire Hospital, at Wolverhampton. My object ion of this important principle— For IS, • a end ask fur some particular medicine—that drigrist— )r surgeon in attendance in his shop—shdl not be at liberty to substitute another, either because he has not eot the one we ask for, or does not choose to sell it ; or desires to sell something else, by which he makes a larger profit; or has the vanity or the presumption to think he knows hotter than his customer what is good for him. This latter may be very true, gentlemen, and I dare say Mr. Walford, who is a highly respectable man, thought so, too, in my case; but, gentlemen, " at forty," says the proverb,—l believe, by the bye, it is an axiom of the great Paracelsus—" every man is either a tool or a physician;" and when I went to Mr. Walford's shop to purchase my own prescription for myself;—Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia,—l did not intend to ttke Epsom salts, because Mr. Walford might think them better for me. I knew what was best for myself; knew why I wanted Murray's fluid maenesia; I knew -flat it had been our domestic remedy at home 'or my tinily ever since accident had made me acquainted with •ts virues. I wanted the irritability in my stomach allayed, not excited; I wanted the gastric region soothed, .ot excoriated. I have a great repugnance and horror e any and every kind of medicine, more especially ,enna, or Epsom salts. The medicine I asked tor was ferfectly tasteless, and comparatively agreeable, while A:psom salts are exceedingly bitter, and have a pecu ierly offensive and nauseating taste; besides which, it to a drastic neutral salt, in no way adapted to the de rangement of stomach under which I was labouring; whereas Murray's fluid magnesia is an antacid and agreeable remedy, admirably adapted to neutralise the .eetous secretions in the stomach, the primum mobile of ho disease from which I was suffering. Again, it is !laid magnesia that I always take for analogous symp wrns—it was this that I went for; that I asked for; and, instead of which, Mr. Walford gave me Epsom ..alts! He said Epsom salts were magnesia. Of course hey are, gentlemen, hat magnesia in what form? Here is the Pharmacopoeia, the standard authority of the pro fession, which your Lordship doubtless knows well.— [Judge, with a shudder, " Oh, no, no!"]—(Laughter.) sVell, what does this Pharmacoposia say? First, let us read the description of what I wanted—the carbonate of magnesia in the fluid state, as prepared by Sir James Murray—" Carbonate of magnesia, when pure is colourless, inodorous, tasteless." Now let us look at the sulphate of magneisa, (that is, Epsom salts, which Mr. Watford substituted)—"Sulphate of magneisa is an exceedingly bitter salt." Did I want a bitter salt, gen tlemen? If I did, I should have asked for it. What right had Mr. Walford to administer it to me? Am I, or is any man, to be dosed, and nauseated, and griped at she will of a medical man and against his own? Let us look at the composition of these Epsom salts; what is the first element, "forty parts of sulphuric acid!" Did I want sulphuric acid, or any combination of it—l with an irritable stomach? Gentlemen, persons who are sub ject to this affliction know it to be a fearful complaint., and it is a God-send when a man finds out what will allay this dreadful sensation. I have found that God send in Sir James Murray's fluid magneisa, and for this I applied to Mr. Walford, and Mr. Walford gave me Epsom salts. Now, gentlemen, you are well aware that , f a baker is detected mixing alum, gypsum, or other deleterious substances with his bread, the law at once takes eogniz Ince of the offence; the defrauder is by that law ,everely punished; and the man, whoever he may be, whether wealthy or otherwise, withers before the effect of public opinion, and never shows himself again in the town where. before, he might, for aught I know, have filled the most important public situations. The same penalties would be awarded against the grocer fur mixing his sugar; the brewer for doctoring his ales; or the wine merchant for substituting his own logwood mixture for the generous Oporto juice. Shall it, then, be said that in the professions, especially in the one where so much confidence is necessarily placed; where every man de livers himself blindfold in his ignorance, bound hand and foot by the mystery in which medicine is perpetually kept, into the hands of his druggist or his doctor—shall, then, I say, be allowed to gentlemen of this profession the power of fraudulent substitution which is denied to all trades? You see, at once, the importance of this question, the high importance of the principle I come here to vindicate. To some constitutions particular medicines, as we all know, are most dangerous. For myself, I have a horror of senna and Epsom salts. I happen also to know a gentleman, at this moment en gaged in a house at Wolverhampton, who is so sensitive to the effects of ipecacuanha, that if a cork were only taken out of a bottle, and only one pound of the powdered drug weighed upon the scale, although it might be in a distaut part of the warehouse, it would .iff-ct his stomach to such an extent, that he would übliged to leave the office, and be rendered unfit fur business during the whole day. The effect of o p ough salts upon m ) self is precisely perhaps not in .degree. Why, then th . e l should ? " a he made to '. , k: them by Mr. Walford urry of oil safety is there, to any physician, :cr!sis, t it may be, tait,ed at a great expense;itttd'int of some fatal disorder, from owe eminen ulathy . . requiring the nicest discrimination .and accuracy iteets preparation—and there are medicines, gentlemen, as the records of coroners' inquest's too fatally make known to us, in which the turn of a scale, or the measuring of a half drop make the difference between health and death—what security have we, I ask you, if such as I now complain of be the practice of druggists i What security have we—the ignorant confiding public—mys tified by the Latin of the prescription, and bamboozled by the mysterious importance of the surgeon-druggist— that he will not make up this carefuliy-obtained pre scription, on which the life of the bread-gainer of a large family may depend, totally different from the purpose and intention of the able physician who wrote it, and administer to us some drastic sulphate, or bitter nauseating gait like this, instead of a testeleas, inodorous, and innocently refreshing medicine, like Murray'a fluid L.:law:lop:de, or any other proper ingredient, legibly written in our. prescription ? This, then, is why I am here. This is why I have left my home and my business to follow up this matter in London. It is a public question, gentlemen, and the public, in my humble person, seek Justice and redress and safety for the future at your hands. I can have no personal motive, gentlemen; God forbid that I should bear malice. Mr. Walford caused me a fearful griping; I have to thank him that he let me off so easily. It is for you, gentlemen, by your ver dict this day, to read to him and the medical profession a wholesome lesson for their future guidance. I have b rr u oem t a s one et h witness manufa c turer, want uanf at t h ou e fr r e e rh: w so l t i p, o e m r s 0 1 nsahial superintendence.lat once call, adG an, Mr. oug Gibbons and srtihoffio render oheesnsdadtoelccirelcenatashriceloyanl presence rdel thatst i‘ eo l n r ttch . heee l I opefina pla i n ti ff'sri t y n ht e G i f i bbyb principalo wh n io s s , r ak o bs i ev a ci and Wolverhampton, to Mr.he from business, and the necessary stoppage of his works the N,rth Western Works, were very extensive, and ( . 1 abso lutely necessary. Mr. Gibbons also proved the amount d salve claimed by the plaintiff to be fairly estimated. Mr. Griffiths was then sworn to his statement, which he repeated in evidence. e Mr. d n a Gr t r Nl itn r. th W ''' a t :f a : l n Y i:? " Cross-exatniwd by Mr. MELLOR, who attended as I had taken a little rice pudding oily, as I felt Ile—Wilt you swear you had not eaten mutton and turnips? I certainly had not.—And that you did not tell Mr. Wel enoeuenn,el diningfor t o h n e d th e e te d n a d y an y , t ;4 l lr7pp' ford that you had eaten mutton and turnips, and that they had disagreed with you? I told Mr. Walford that I had a violent pain in the heal; that I was liable to irratibility of the stomach; and I might have told him that I had dined the previous day on mutton and turnips, hut, not on that day certainly.—Well now, when you went into Mr. Walford's shop did you not ask for some advice? No! there was no one there but the apprentice buy, and I should not have asked a boy for advice.—But when Mr. Walford came in, you complained of your head and asked his advice, did you not? No; I said I should like a dose of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia end a calomel you prescribed fur yourself a calum-1 pill? Yes, I prescribed fur my self a epitome! pill. —And did you take the pill? No, nut from Mr. Watford —Now, Mr. Griffiths, may I ask you why you take this Murray's fluid magnesia, of which you seem so great an admirer? Because fur some years past I have known it as a sate and certain some ty for all complaints of the stomach and bowels; and more than that, I consider it as a preservative against cholera; I am going to take some now. [Here, much to the amusement of the court, Mr. Grit nths opened the bottle of Sir James Murray's fluid mag nesia, with which he was provided as part of his evi dence, and pouring a little of it, with some acid syrup, into a glass, manufactured for himself a beverage, the effervescence of which excited a sensation of envy in the whole court.] —Now, will you swear that you did not ask Mr. Watford's advice? I will swear that I told him that I had a violent headache, and that I wished for a dose of Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill.—And you did not ask him to prescribe for you? I did not. —After strongly pressing the plaintiff again on the ap. parently important point of mutton and turnips, Mr. Mellor closed his cross-examination by asking, when you saw Mr. Walford pour the mixture out of so large a bottle, did you not know at once it was not Murray's fluid magnesia, as that is in small bottles only, such as the one you have before you? I had no reason to think so; for I know Murray's fluid magnesia to be supplied to the trade in bottles of that very size for dispensing.—You seem to know a great deal about this fluid magnesia? I ought to do so, as I am an operative chemist myself, and more than that, I owo my health to it. —Pray, Mr. Grif fiths, have you any interest in this medicine? None whatever. Mr. MELLOR then addressed the jury for the de fendant. He considered this one of the most extraordi nary cases that ever came before a court of justice; and, were it possible for the plaintiff to obtain a verdict, no medical man, for the future, could be safe in prescribing for a patient; and here it would be necessary for bim to remind the jury of a specious and ingenious attempt on the part of the plaintiff to beguile their sympathies by a philanthropic clap-trap, viz.—that of giving the damages to the South Staffordshire Hospital. This was cheap charity on the part of Mr. Griffiths, as the money was to come out of the pocket of his client, Mr. Walford. Mr. Griffiths claimed damages from his client, which the jury could not concede; besides which they must con sider the serious effects and consequences which a ver dict for the plaintiff, if only for a shilling, would entail upon Mr. Walford, whom the plaintiff admitted was a highly respectable young man. He was nut there to impugn the moth( s of Mr. Griffiths, who had cer. ,ost ahle and gentle case. What weie the fattts? He goes into a do&or's soup; he states he is ill; he asks for advice; be takes the medicine ; then cries out 4 . Oh, you have given me Epsom salts ;" becomes angr'y and excit.d ; rushes off to another chemist and druggist ; buys more medicine there, and takes it ; goes home, retires to bed, teels a natural conscquenca of Epsom salts and calomel pills ; and, most ungratefully, as soon as he is up and better, goes into the druggist's shop and says he shall bring an action against him. An action ! For what ? We have cause and effect—illness and physic. But Mr. Griffiths, who justly describes himself as irritable, wishes to subvert the usual order of things, and turn th , •m to physic and illness. But what caused his illness? Was it the mutton and the turnips ?—for he was pre pared to prove that Mr. Griffiths told 'air. Walford that he had dined that day , n mutton and turnip,—or was it the pill, or the Epioie salts, or the fluid magnesia, or all altogether ? Wouid he have been just a-t ill with out the Epsom salts, or did he get better through them? l'he jury would see at a glance what an idle ca,e this was to trouble the court with, and bring so many respectable practitioners away from their ordinary occu pations. He was prepared to contend, that the medicine administered by Mr. Watford was a proper one. It was not Epsom salts, but bicarbonate of magnesia, a prepa ration in which Epsom salts only entered for a small part, and in which their effects were neutralised. To prove this he should call an eminent medical gentleman, a professor of chemistry, whose evidence he bad no doubt would be sufficient to ensure a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, of Jewin-street, spoke as to the efficacy of the bicarbonate of magnesia, and as to its being a mixture such as he would have prescribed for a person in Mr. Griffiths's state. Cross-examined by Mr. GRIFYITIIS—HOW long have you been in practice, Mr. Lloyd? Twenty-five years.— As a surgeon? Yes.—l think you stated in your exa mination that the mixture referred to was very similar in its properties to fluid magnesia? I did so.—Was there any Epsom salts in that mixture? There was.— But excuse me, Mr. Lloyd, are you accustomed to pre scribe Epsom salts for an inflammatory state of the bowels and stomach? Certainly not.—Did you not say that the medicine administered by Mr. Walford was a very proper one for my complaint? I did.—Pray, sir, did you see me on that occasion? No.—By what means did you obtain the diagnosis of my disease? From Mr. Watford.—Are you not aware that hearsay evidence cannot be received in a court of law? And you knew nothing of my complaint except what Mr. Walford told you. Are you accustomed to prescribe for your patients without seeing them? Certainly not.—Then I appre hend, Mr. Lloyd, my case was an exception, not the rule of your practice? Mr. Lloyd then, in a very talented manner, answered the chemical questions of Mr. Grif fiths, as to the composition of the mixture administered to him by Mr. Walford, and after giving a clear analysis of the same, stated that the chemical combination yielded a product very similar in its properties to fluid magnesia. Mr. Griffiths stongly pressed him as to Epsom salts (sulphate of magnesia) being one of the components, which Mr. Lloyd acknowledged, but contended that their action was neutralized. Mr. Griffiths observed that he did not see how that could be, as in Mr. Valtord's mix ture there remained the taste and the griping effects of these drastic salts. Mr. %Valford, of 149, Aldersgate-street, stated that he was a partner in the firm of Lunn and \Valford, Mr. Lunn not being his partner as a surgeon, but simply as a chemist and druggist. He is himself a surgeon, Mr. Lunn only makes the prr-pararions. He recollected the plaintiff coming to his shop. tie was out at the time and just returning from visiting a patient, when he met Mr. Griffiths coming out of the shop. lie re-entered with him. The apprentice said that the gentleman wanred some advice. Mr. Griffiths complained of flatulency and heartburn, and said the mutton and turnips had disagrr i e ie d with him. lie had not been drinking anythriantrig a looked at his tongue and sent for the bu y t h tl i e l :o mixture of bietirbonate of magnesia. uite as go ol ol. Mr. replied he would give him something ~et, Mr. Griffiths said he s h od uld h l i ik bg e ut fl ci li n l u pouring nii this Griffiths then swallowedd t a he wry d s n a n g 8 1 a a d e e face, and angrily ex done so, then he p have u lle given me Epsom 'salts, which is replied'Y"a have given you something quite to o s bgyo%l;s what pf:,;t:el3::. wrong." He yrf , u asked for, and I wall nut be dictated He made a rule of not telling his gave them; as otheri.lso they night patients w doctor themselves, and do mischief, by , an injudicious usP of proper medicines on improper ocessinni. That wa s the common sense of .the mystery of medicine. Mr. Griffiths was very angry, and, in an excited manner, said he did not care for Lilo, to which he replied that he did not care for Mr. Griffiths, and took his money aid left him. • Cross.exam;ued by Mr. GRIFFITH f —The mixture be nave was not Epsom salts, but was composed Of bicar bonate of porasi and sulphate of m.ign era; siilphate of magnesia was Epsorn salts, but they became neutralized in that mixture, which they became Nearbonate of mag i nog& Lie could not tow thst v Air. Griffiths dicinot //,,, , 'Z' // " • z,,,,-- . Ifr 7 him or the lid ma six, but distinctly remem• his asking for ace me l pill; thought Mr. Griffi'bs .d his advice. He complained of headache, flatulency, heartburn. lie could not say whether they had .r.sy's flui I magnesia on the premises at the time. flti salts was not fluid magnesia. He could not re iber the name of the patient from visiting whom he was just returning when he found Mr. Griffiths in the shop. Remembered Mr. Griffiths mentioned fluid mag nesia, while he had the bottle of mixture in his hand and was pouring it out; will not swear that Mr. Griffiths did not ask for Murray's fluid magnesia. Mr. Griffiths said "You shall not make the pill for me —you have given me 'wrong." Alexander Jackson stated that he was the apprentice of Messrs. Lunn and Walford; be remembered the plaintiff coming to the shop, and thinks he said he wanted some advice. He remembered the plaintiff saying after he had taken the dose, " I wish you had given me s‘ hat I asked for;" and also remembered that lie said "I won ' t have the pill, you have not given me what I asked for." 1!e cannot swear that he remembered hearing plaintiff ask for Murray's fluid magnesia, but will not swear that he did not ask for it. Mr. Lunn, of the firm of Lunn and Walford, said that lie was a chemist and druggist, and in partnersitip with Mr. Watford. Tin y had Sir James Murray's fluid mag nesia in stock on the Ist of April. They obtained it from Mr. Edwards, St. Paul's Church-yard. He does not sell much of it, as he generally sells his own pre parations, which pay him better. Cross-ex :mined by Mr.GRIFFITHS —Begged distinctly ti state be the court, that he did not profess a knowledge of anat. - Any, or the practice of physic; was not a surgeon end nil not wish to be examined es one. He was a chemist. Mr. Griffiths—Very well, Mr. Lunn, we will examine you as a chemist than. [ discussion as to the elements of Epsom salts, and the true properties of sulphates, carbonates, and bicarbonates of magnesia, here became co animated and exciting between the various medical witnesses, and Mr. Lunn and Mr. Griffiths, both of them operative chemists, that the judge, the jury, the court, and even the cause itself seemed to be forgotten, and we might have fancied ourselves present at a scientific reunion ; when, on a sudden, a very nal , :e offer made by Mr. Griffiths in the excite meat of the discussion, that the jury should test the two, by taking a dose of the Eesom salts and a dose of tho fluid magnesia, convulsed the jury with horror and the court with laughter. This trial, by ordeal, was, it is needless to say, declined, with great energy, by the gen tlemen of the jury—and the examination proceeded.] Mr. Griffiths: Mr. Lunn, as an operative chemist, do you know a bottle of Murray's fluid magnesia when you see it? Yes.—Do you keep it in your shop? I d..-- Du you sell touch tit it? No.—How is this? I sell my own preparations, which pry me much better.—Now. sir, will you tell the jury wit•-ther Epsom salts ars fluid magnesia? They are th.t.— Is Murray's fluid maene,ia Epsom salt.? C. itainly not.—Do you make all sour own preparations? No.—What do you mak. ? Those prep ,r itions that pay me best.—That I was aware of', sir, but that is no answi rto my question. De 3ou make the preparations of opium, morphine. and so on? No.— Extracts? No.—Plasters? No.—Paregoric and syrup of rhubarb, I suppose you do make? Yee.—Pray, Mr. Lunn, are you a member of the Pharmaceutical Society? I am not.—Not a member of the Pharmaceutical Society; oh, indeed! I shall not examine you any turiher then. Mr. Griffiths (the defendant's case having now closed), in reply said, may it please your Lordship and gentle men of the jury, I fear that the protract. d nature of this case, together with the number of hours that you have patiently listened to it, will have exhausted your en durance, and naturally have rendered you anxious tor a truce from this dry question of physic, the greater part i.f which must certainly have been to you most intoler able but for the great principle involved in it; neverthe less. I must beg or you to listen fur a short time while I make a few remarks—first, upon two ideas which emanated from my Learned Opponent, in his address for the c'efence—becondly, upon the evidence for the defence —and thirdly, upon the importance of your decision in regard to the great principle in this case trampled under foot by a diplonsati.ed member of a learned profession. Now, in the first place, perhaps I may be permitted to acknowledge the very liberal and gentlemanly manner in which my Learned Opponent has conducted this case for the defence, from its opening until no w . B u t I regret , on behalf of that noble institution which I was anxious to assist with the damages accruing to me this day, that I can no longer appear as its suppdant ; for my Learned Friend, by his antiphilau thropic " clap -trap " has placed me under the painful necessity at foregoing damages altogether, ex• cepting so far as will carry the costs of this action. I am not in the habit of dispensing cheap charity, or of clothing the naked at other men's cost; nor will I, in this instance, leave my motives open to suspicion to you, who know nothing of me, by the insinuation thrown out by my Learned Opponent, perhaps ";not because he loved Cmsar less, but because he loved Rome more." You will remember, in the second place, that my Learned Friend was exceedingly anxious to excite your sympa thies in favour of the defendant, in consequence of the serious effects which a verdict fur myself would entail upon him. Now, gentlemen of the jury—as his honour will tell you—with the effects or consequences of your verdict you have nothing to do whatever; you are placed in that box, and expected by your country to give a verdict according to the evidence, upon your oaths and consciences as Englishmen, entirely regardless of the effects of that verdict. This is all I ask of you this day. Mutton and turnips, &c., &c., I shall not trouble you with. Now,, gentlemen, let us look at the evidence. You will recollect my own evidence, which, condensed, means just this—that I asked plainly and dis tinctly, at Messrs. Lunn and ViYallerd'e druggist's shop, for Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill—and that Mr. Walford substituted for, and ndininisered to me, in the place of it and in stead of it, a solution of sulphate of magnesia or Epsom salts. Gentlemen, this is my atliimation. It is fur you to say, after I have ;minted out to you its confirmation by the evidence of Messrs. Waltord and Jackson, whe ther it be true or false. Mr. Walluid himself says that I ordered a foul-grain calomel pill, and that while he held the beetle iit his hand I mentioned fluid mug -4 h., most. distinctly .and unequivocally d. eluted to swear that I did not ask for oar Jawivi Murray's flu d mats sia. He likewise stat,s that I charged him with givii g me the wrong med;cine at the time; and also ca!led the next morning to r , monstrate with him upon the substitution. Now for the young lad, Jackson. He states that I charged Mr. Waltitrd with giving me the wrong; remembers my orderin," the pill; and declines to swear that I did not ask fur fluid magnesia. The Learned Professor, Mr. Lloyd, admits that he knew nothing of the diagnosis of my case except what Mr. Walford had told him, and that although it is a rule with him to see his patients before pre scribing for them, in this case he made an exception, and gives a strong opinion, backed by the reputation of a professor, without either seeing or pro scribing for me. Then comes Mr. Lunn, who states that he knows a bottle of Murray's field magnesia when he sees it; that Moray's fluid mag nesia is not Epsom salts, nor Epsom salts Murray ' . fluid magnesia. lle also states that he bims, if makes the preparations sold in the shop; but, after asking him what tie dues make, we get at the fact that he makes paregerio and syrup of rhubarb; and likewise, what to y our minds most be of the highest importance, that he does not hold a diploma from, nor is he a m, miear of the Pharmaceu tical Society of Great Britain. Gentlemen, as far as my memory serves me, this is an analysis of the evidence. Now, gentlemen, first as to that which has not, and after wards that whichl has, to do with this case. Mr. Pro fessor Lloyd's evidence has nothing whatever to do with the case, for all he knows about it was communicated to him by Mr. Walford, and, as I before observed, his Honour will tell you that hearsay evidence cannot be received in a court of justice, and, consequently, you will be pleased to forget Mr. Lloyd altogether. Now, gentlemen of the jury, it must be clear to your mind, from the synopsis of the evidence which I have given, that every witness for the defence has confirmed, in the most ample and satisfactory manner, my case, as alleged in the plaint, and proved by myself on oath. Mr. Wal ford does not venture to deny my statement, but, on the contrary, directly confirms it, when he states that I spoke about magnesia ; and indirectly, in the order for the calomel pill. He likewise acknowledges to you that I reproached him angrily for the substitution ; and now I ask you, as men of common sense, what can be more confirmatory of my testimony than this evidence? The boy Jackson, in a very honest and straight-forward manner, confirms Mr. Walford's testimony; adding that I said, " I wish you had given me what I asked you for, sir." This, gentlemen, if it were necessary, is another •ogent witness to the truth and stability of my case ; and I feel sure I must have satisfied your minds as to the consistency and integrity of my case, as alleged ou the records of the court, and established by my own testimony before you this day.

Gentlemen, however startling this fact may be to you, it is the law of the land, and on this account, it is your duty the more de terminedly to mark the conduct of this gentleman, who is a professional nr,n, with your disapprobation.
