been paid for the old site—fur 1110,0001. a sable h
with 600 beds, and the fieshold of Gls Sarni
Gardens might be secured ; and the balance,
160,0001., or pat of it, might be employed "in eels-
blishing branch hospitals for convalescents, in contri-
buting to the seaside or inland hospitals and the like, for
110 benefit of St. Thomas's patients. The public are already
beaming used to the new location, incomplete and tem-
poetry as it appears. During the four weeks ending 13th
October, 311 cases were admitted; thirty of these were
accidents, a number about equal to the average attended at
the hospitaL The out-patients numbered during the first
week 284, second week 658, third week 880, fourth 1,062.
These figures show bow convenient this place is for the
people, and that directly they know of it, how ready they
ire to nee it ; and it should not be forgotten that a sum of
from 7,0001. to 10,0001. has been already expended by the
Governors in making this place suitable.
On the score of healthfulness, the only other
point in favour of removal urged by the Treasurer
and his friends, there seems no objection whatever
to the proposed site. The soil of the Gardens is
gravel, and the drainage, good at present, will
soon be made as perfect as need be desired. The
medical officers of the Bethlehem, close by, report
that the Hospital is thoroughly healthy, and alto-
gether free from epidemic disease. No doubt a
pure country air would in many respects be still
better, but this slight and solitary advantage to be
gained by removal is really of no weight at all
compared with the solid, direct, and overwhelming
reasons against it.
The most urgent and influential of these reasons
may be summed up in a few words. The Hospital
may be looked at in two points of view, as a medical
school, and as a place for the prompt relief of cases
of acute sickness and sudden injury. These
functions are closely connected, and the main
value of the institution to the locality in which it
is situated, as well as to the public at large, de-
pends on its efficiency in both respects. It may
easily be shown, however, that its removal six or
seven miles out of town would seriously impair, if

it did not altogether destroy its usefulness both as a
school and a hospital proper. In order to maintain
its efficiency as a medical school, it must be able
to secure the attendance of men eminent in the
profession. Its central position has enabled St.
Thomas's to do this hitherto, but if removed into
the country, the more eminent professional men,
whose time is so valuable, would be no

longer able to attend. The medical instruction of
the place would thuafsll into inferior hands. Again,
in order to be really efficient, it ought to be able
to supply a great variety of cases, both medical
and surgical. But in the country it would of ne-
cessity only receive patients that could bear re-
moral to a distance, and as these are precisely
the cases that are of least educational value, the
Hospital would soon lose its historical character,
and cease to be frequented as a school of medicine.
It need scarcely be said, that it would at the same
time be almost useless as a place of relief in cases
of sudden and violent injury. This was emphati-
cally stated in the presence of the Treasurer and
Governors by Dr. Baisrows, in his annual
address at the opening of the temporary school at
the Surrey Gardens, a few weeks ago. He says:—
"If we would consult the convenience of the poor
" and their emergencies, if we would wish the
" Hospital to continue a place of cure for cases of
" acute sickness and of sudden injury, it seems to
" me manifest that we must place it in thecentre of
" some populous district, and near to leading
" lines of traffic." Under these circumstances it
is not surprising that the three parishes especially
interested, as well as the whole medical staff of the
Hospital, have earnestly petitioned againat
the removal. The Treasurer and his select
circle of friends seem, however, bent on carry:l'g
out this project, if not legally prevented. We are
glad to find that there is still a prospect of the
scheme being defeated, the resolution of the
Governors at a recent meeting which virtually
sanctioned the removal, having been rescinded as
informal. Prompt, united, and vigorous local action
will still, however, be required in order to
keep the Hospital in the locality for whose benefit
it was established. The parishes mainly interested
are exerting themselves, and we sincerely hope
they will succeed in averting the threatened de-
struction of this ancient and most useful seat of
medical instruction and social relief.

IT is surely high time that decisive measures
were taken to prevent the threatened removal of
St. Thomas's Hospital from the populous and
needy district for whose special benefit it was

established, to some remote spot where it is not
wanted, and could be of comparatively little use.
The scheme was from the first not only so palpably
injurious, but so promptly and universally con-
demned by the district& concerned, by the
medical profession, and by the public at
large, that hardly anybody believed it would
be persisted in. It seemed to most ordi-
nary people about as rational to talk of remov-
ing the Mansion-house or the Exchange to some
pleasant suburb, as to think of taking a great
metropolitan Hospital away into the country,
where, though land might be cheap and the air
serene, population would necessarily be sparse,
and the poor already sufficiently provided for. It
I.:obvious at first sight that the special use and
value of such an institution must lie in its posi-
tion. To be really serviceable and efficient, a large
hospital must be situated in the district, and as near
as may be to the centre of the district, for whose
relief it is established. The establishment of such
an institution presupposes a thickly-populated and
comparatively poor neighbourhood. A great pro-
portion of the cases occurring in such a diata;ct
would necessarily be urgent ones, requiring
above all things immediate attention, where
delay might be fatal, and transport to a distance
impossible. If removed miles away, therefore, it
would be impossible forthe Hospital to dischage its
primary functions, and no possible combination
of other advantages could at all atone for
this radical defect.. In the centre of a park,
surrounded by pleasure grounds, and in the
immediate neighbourhood of rural walks and
drives, the proposed St. Thomas's Hospital
might be a magnificent object to look at, and a
pleasant retreat for a few invalids afflicted with
chronic complaints, but it would no longer be, as
it has been for the last three hundred years, " the
Home of the Poor in Southwark," and its most
essential uses as a Hospital would be at an end.
All this is so obvious that on first hearing of
the proposed removal everyone naturally asks,
" Who wants the Hospital removed ! and what
" reason can possibly be urged in favour of such
"an extraordinary step ?" The only answer that
can be given to these questions is a most obscure
and unsatisfactory one. So far as we can find, the

the Hospital and a few members of the Com.
mittee. The medical staff of the Hospital are not
only unanimous in their opposition to the scheme,
but have addressed a powerfri, dignified, and
well-reasoned memorial to the Governors
against it. This memorial, which has recently
been published, offers a series of unarswerab'e
reasons against the project, and is, indeed, almost
superfluously strong in argument. But the Trea-
surer and his clique of Committee-men appear
deaf to all reasoning on the subject. At least
the main reasons put forward in favour of
the project will not bear a moment's examination,
and have been rebutted over and over again. The
Treasurer and his friends allege that from
tb it ty to fifty acres are required for
the site of the Hospital, and that the funds
at their disposal not being sufficient to purchase
this amount of land in a crowded and central dis-
trict like Southwark, they must needs remove the
Hospital bodily into the country. On the other
hand, the medical men connected with the Hospi-
tal, who surely ought to be the best judges of
what accommodation is necessary for the proper
treatment of the patients, asielL that seven acres
is quite sufficient for all the purposes of the Ho.-
pita'. That there is really no difficulty in the way
of retaining the Hospital in the district, either
on the score of a suitable site or
of funds is, sufficiently proved by the
report of the Sanitaajr Committee appointed to
inquire into the subject by the Vestry of St. George
the Martyr, Southwark, one of the parishes speci-
ally interested in the question. The Hospital, as
most of our readers probably know, is already re-
moved for the present to the Surrey Gardens, where
temporary wards have been set up, and the lectures
connected with the medical school delivered. The
St. George Sanitary Committee very reasonably
urge in their report, that this temporary site com-
prises all the requisites necessary for the perma-
nent establishment and augmented usefulness of
the Hospital, and that it may be secured for
comparatively small outlay. The report says :
Order, cleanliness, and a well-arranged airy building, are
the requirements. Directly patients are well, or even safe
to get well, they must give place to others. Beautiful
gardens, and en extent of highly cultivated well meowed
*di, will not help the sick to got well again—rather the
contrary. A dry airy ground, a well ventilated, smarm,
clean hospital, a help present in time of trouble, these are
the desiderata ; and all these the 15 acres of the Surrey

We may still note an absence of anything like
alarming excitement on the Greek question as a
remarkable feature of the situation. The France
continues to growl and grumble, but even this
journal is forced to admit that there would be
nothing "absolutely illegal" in the election of an
English prince. The France, nevertheless, thinks
the threatened preponderance of England in Greece
is a matter of " immense interest." It lays down
the position that "French interests" constitute
the golden rule, the infallible oracle of foreign
policy which should ever be consulted, whether in
Greece, Italy, or America. At another moment
the France would prove that France is ever disin-
terested, and, in contradistinction to shopkeeping
England, guided by chivalrous ideas. Now, how-
ever, it thinks fit to say :—" We know that England
never consults anything else but her interest ; let
us do the same."

The prefect of the Aisne has consulted a commit-

consequence of the scarcity of game in the depart-
ment, it would not be desirable to close the shoot-
ing season on New Year's-day. The committee has
reported that such ameasure is greatly to be depre-
cated, as it would surely lead to the destruction of
what little game k left. They represent that the
poacher's bag is at all times better filled than the
sportsman's, and that at the latter end of the season
when birds get wild nothing conduces so much to
their preservation as being well shot at. The gun
brings down a very few, but the disturbance of the
game in their haunt' thwarts the manoeuvres of
the poacher, who does not know where to lay his
snares. They also urge that it is undesirable to
check a source of public alimentation. But here I
think they refute their former argument by proving
too much. The poacher, as they have already
shown, would provide the public with more game
than they can do if their sporting did not spoil his
sport,.

Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner, and the respon.
dent appeared in person. It was a suit for judicial sepa-
ration on the ground of cruelty.
The petitioner said—l was married to the respondent
on the 17th of June, 1860. I was a widow, and my name
was Carr. My kit husband, a medical bottle-d, had
left me his baker in Chapel-plaoe, Chapel-street, Bel-
grave-square, where we went to live. In about six months
the respondent began to ill-treat me. He pinched me, and
be struck me on the aide of the head. I had a miscarriage
about that time. Once he took me by the throat. On an-
other occasion he struck me with his flit on the back of my
head. These acts were frequently repeated. He called
me • " hell-fiend," and habitually used the foulest language
to me. One night he struck me on the mouth and hurt my
tongue. After that be refused to let me go to bed. He said
I should have no rest in that house, for be would either
take my life or drive me mad. On the Bth of April I went
away, and he is now carrying on the business without ma.
I one complained, in his presence, to his mother of his con-
duct. He said it was all my bad temper. His mother said
she would advise him. They then went out together, and
when he returned be asked me to kiss and forgive him. I
did so. Our quarrels were generally about money. He was
always asking me for more than I could give him.
Crous-examined—Before the marriage I had carried on the
business with the assistance only of a youth. After the
marriage I made out all bills and received all monies. One
evening the respondent sent me word that he was at the
San singing-room, and that he should not be home till late.
I did not remain at home, bet went to the
Sun to see with my own eyes whether what
I had heard was true. I saw bin there with three women.
I asked him if he thought that was proper treatment for a
wife, whom he had left alone since six o'clock. Will swear
I used no bad language. I merely told him that I had got
• nice supper ready for him—mutton chops and mashed
potatoes. He celled • cab, pushed me in, and said, " You
cat, Fit murder you this night for exposing me."
Respondent—How long had you married your first bus-
band before you left him'
Witness (with great emphasis)—l am not obliged to tell
Yoo-
The Judge—But perhaps you will tell me. Did you leave
him on account of his violence?
Witness—Oh dear no ; quite the oontrary. When I left
the house my husband was absent. I took the change out
of • sovereign, and also • few things to furnish one room
with. I did not take a sum of above 301. which bad been
laid aside to pay the rent, and then advise the landlord to
press the respondent.
The petitioner's mother was examined in corroboration of

her evidence.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
Melon Yr. Baron Bramwell)
THE OLROTS2 BOBBIRIZtI.
The trial of the prisoners charged with garotte robberies
was resumed this morning.
Riokird Hurley, 23, and William Wiailsor, 19, were
charged with committing a robbery, with violence, upon
Frederick James Bush.

Mr. Best prosecuted.
The prosecutor in this case is a house decorator, and it
appeared that on the morning of the 17th of November
he was passing from Snow-hill to the Old Bailey, about
half-past 8 o'clecic, at the time the man Cooper
was hanging. The two prisoners followed him until he
reached the Old Bailey, and then seeing the crowd he was
about to turn back again, when he was hustled by the pri-
'Goers and several others. His aims were forced over his
head, and while in that position his watch was taken. He
distinctly saw the prisoner Windsor take the watch, and
sew it passed. Both the prisoners tried to get away, but
he released his hands, caught them by the collar, and while
he was holding them constable came up and took them
into custody.
The prosecutor's evidence was cot/obviated by • witness
who stated that he was induced to watch the prisoners, and
Herley asked him what he was looking at. and said if he
looked at him again he would punch him in the eye.
The prisoners, when called upon for their defence, denied
the charge.
The jury found both prisoners Guilty.
Evidence was adduced that the prisoner Hurley was con-
victed at the Harylebone police-court in April last of
steeling a watch, and sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment, and both the prisoners appeared to have been sum-
marily convicted on several occasions.
Baron Bramwell, in poising sentence, said this case was dis-
tinguished from the rest, and he should pass sentence at once
as regarded Hurley. It seemed that his profession was that
of a thief, and that if he were to be let out of prison to-
morrow, he would again resume his system of plunder upon
the public. He must be prevented from doing so. There
was one thing, however, in the case ; it did not appear that
he bad used any violence towards his victim, if it had been
so, be should have sentenced him to penal servitude for life,
instead of that he should only sentence him to penal ser-
vitude for the term of ten years. With regard to Windsor,
there was no former conviction proved against him, and it
might be that he was in the House of Correction for mere
acts of vagrancy. and he should only sentence him to four
years' penal servitude.
Jake Kingston,l9, was charged jointly with another man,
not in custody, with having feloniously assaulted John
Wilson, with intent to him.
The prosecutor, it appeared, was in the neighbourhood of
Ratcliffe-highway at two o'clock in the morning, when the
prisoner and another man accosted bite and asked him to
treat them to something to drink. This the prosecutor de-
clined to do, and they immediately attacked him. One of
the men wad his arm round his neck, and he was thrown
down, and while he was in that position they struck him,
and the prisoner attempted to ride his pocket. He called
out " Murder !" and Police!" and the prisoner told him if
he did not hold his noise he would knock
his eye out. A police-constable heard the
cries, and proceeded to the spot, and saw the
prisoner in the act of running away from the prosecutor,
who was lying on the ground. He stopped him and asked
I him to came hack, and he made use of very bad language,
and refused to do so, and it was with considerable difficulty
, that he was secured. The prosecutor positively identified
, the prisoner as the man who attempted to rifle his pockets.
; The prisoner, in his defence, said he had no witness but
Almighty God. He was innocent. The prosecutor assaulted
him first.
r The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It appeared, however, that nothing was previously known
about him, except that he was in the habit of lurking about
at night.
Sentence deferred.
