gentlemen of the sardine' profess'ou who had given
the subject tinir consish ration. Dr. l)arling soil it
was remarkable that all the sliaeasee induce I by drinking
intoxicating liquors were hereditiry even to the third
and fourth generation,and that they often finally rredted
in lunacy. Dr. K. Meng, of Gles;ow, says :
"It is my deliberate opinion that the aso of
intoxicant's are injurious to the healthy human
systese." Dr. Buchanan: "Malt liquors occasion
ohs rue Sons, by which the il lestion • inj ea ed.an d rod uco

under Pr. Beaumont's care, whose organs of digestion
could be distinctly seen through a gun-shot wound,
proved that, when eater we. given to the patient those
organs performed their operations satiefeetorily, but
riot when • glees of beer was given to the patient it
produced an injurious result. Dr. E heard Joho.n
rays: I fearlessly assert that these drinks are in every
instance, as articles of diet, injurious, and that, as
medicines, totally unneceseary, as ws have drags which
have the same effect, without their injurious tenden-
cies." And this opinion had been endorsed by IST
eminent physicians of the day. Dr. Hawkins, addrans-
' ing a large meeting of teetotalers, sold: "People who
belong to emit societies as yours will have but little
need to rail in the medical man, and if the community
were to give up drinking intoxicating drinks, nearly all
of us might clime our shops, for we should have nothing
to do." Here was letting the cat out of the beg. Dr.
Pratt gives similar testimony, and Dr. Trotter mentions
different dieemies which drinkers are subject to, b
which teetotalers are entirely 'tempted frosr. Hoff-
man, him:merman and Kitchener all state that water
Is (ho best drink for man. Dr. Cholas'. said, " Without

plexion he believed was • teetotaler, and who after
stating he was such, said he signed the tempentnee

that his wife, who had horn, hint 2) ehildren,hed never

summoned two of his little girls, (as be called theta,'
one • head-and-a-half taller than her father, whose
healthy and happy countenances proved that they
at least had not been injured by their parents
being abstainers. Dr. Andrew Coombe also gave
similar testimony. Dr. Higginbotham, a teetotaler of
fifty-one years' experience. mays :—" If you would have
weak, sickly, and puny children, then take intoxicating
drink. The strongest man at Southampton. who can

had his ceh-brired contest with Heenan. was an ab-
stainer In months, and drank hardly anything but
water. Ithbert Chunberie the champion rower of Eng-
land, always practised teetotalism before his contest
came off. The lecturer then proceeded to show that
teetotalism was suited to all classes of people, to all
climes, and under ev.ry circumstance of life, and eon-
eluded his address by some very humorous remarks on
teetotalers themselves, which called forth loud cheers.
At the conclusion a vote of thanks was unanimously
passed to him, and the meeting concluded by singing
the Desology.

STURMINSTER NEWTON. The LAYS Ka.
Ozoisom FISH. —A sermon was preached by Mr. Jabes
Inwards, in the Railway School•room, Seymour street,
Euston-square, on Sunday afternoon, to • crowded
audience, on the death of Mr. George Fish, lately in
the employ of the London mid North• Western Railway
Company, and also an active member of the Camden
Temperance Society's Committee. Mr. Fish was bom
in 1832 at Sturnnoster Newton. At the ego of
fourteen he was under religious impression., and
till eighteen he frequently travelled with an uncle,
assisting him in preaching and singing. He then
went to London, and eventually his religious
ardour grew cold. This declension increased, till one
evening be erm induced to attend • discussion on the
subject of teetotalism between Mr. Inwards and Mr.
Holyoake H. then felt the truth seas on the side of
the formir ; but for two years be thought little more of
the subject, till he saw • bill announcing a lettere in
Camden Hall, by Mr. Inwards. He wee induced to
enter, and this led to bin attending most of the lectures.
Mr. nob, ins letter to • friend, to whom be had written
much during his iUnees, says "I may say I owe to Mr.
In wards my decision of character; for before that time
I had no particular object before me. I knew but little
of this world, exoept what was to be found in publicans'
parlours, or still worm places, and much less of the
future world, though I was not free from • troubled
conscience, having bad early impressions for good."
Those who knew Mr. Fish felt that he was • tree
man; one ever to be relied upon. He bad committed
himself to • principle which be never ones regretted
having adopted. Nearly one of bin last mote was to
transmit • subscription to the temperate* society, to
which he thought he owed much. He had great de-
cision of character. It ran through all his actions. He
was a living, active Christiao, and be was highly inie-
manful in impressing others that he earnestly &deed
their good. His manners were gentlemanly and cour-
teous. and be hm left behind • large number of frienda
who deeply regret his lam

stated that the party who employed him *as one
Choice Farthing, his Honor adjourned the ease till
next Court for the production of his evidence.—
William Broad v. John Fry—Claim £l4, for materials
and repairs of engine, ha. —Mr. Atkinson appeared for
the defendant. The plaintiff is an engineer, lining at
Blandford, and the defendant, a fanner and miller,
residing near !were.. Plaintiff in his evidence stated
that he was employed by the defendant to repair an
engine used for thrashing, and other machinery. He
and his man came over from Blandford in a horse and
trap. They were engaged 10 days out of 12, for
which he charged 14e. a-day, and Cl for two days they
walked. For materials he charged L'l3. When he had
nearly completed the job, Mr. Fry came and stopped
him front finishing it, —Defendant agreed to pay -film
ready money, and when he told him the amount, he
said make out your bill. Plaintiff asked him for a
pen and ink; he told bins to go and get one, and he
went to the nearest public house, and made out the bill,
which he receipted. When he got back, he handed the
bill to the defendant, who said he would pay him,
but took the receipted bill away. As be would not go
away wirbout the reesdpted bill it was given back to him,
and defendant sent for • polioeman.and ordered him off
the remises, and at last tore off the receipt from the
bill. Cross-examined by Mr. Atkinson: Never
represented to the defendant that he had been employed
by Mews. Clayton, Shuttleworth, Is Co. ; only said he
had often repaired their engines. —Mr. Atkinson
went through the various items in the account, all
of which plaintiff stated were fair charges. He charged
ta for iottr and 10a. for work when he rode.
The brags used was as good as he could get; they
ought to have been bored, and not filed. Waa pet
allowed to finish the engine. Did not bunt two of the
tubes of the engine. Did not say if the bill was not
paid he would take pert of the engine, so that it would
not work. The constable was sent for because he
demanded the receipted kill back, and would not go
away without it. Did his work at • shop in the town
which he hired for the purpose. The engine was Arai
tried when lie wee not present, contrary to the nasal
custom. The reason why the brasses were not bored
was because the defendant was in a hurry for the
engine, and would not, give him time. In support of
his atm, plaintiff called Charles Hall, who stated that
be was in his employ as a labourer; had been with him
three month,; had previously worked for
Mersa Stoddard, of Bristol. Was at Mr. Fry's

his sliest ample. ThellialtHE whet he applied to Mr.
