UNQUALIFIED PRACTITIONERS.-SPECIAL
VERDICT.

Mr. Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an
inquiry at a tavern named the Well and Bucket, Church-
street, Bethnal-green, last evening, relating to the death
of Henry James King, aged one year and ten months.
Charles James King, 10, Tyssen.street, Bethnal-green,
a rug weaver, said that deceased was in perfect health
until half-past 9 o'clock on last Saturday night, when
be became very ill, suddenly. Witness sent for a doctor,
and a Mr. Schmidt came and prescribed. He came four
times daring the night. The child died a little before eight
the next morning.
Christian Pager, a woman who bad charge of the child,
its mother being dead, gave similar evidence, and said
that she believed that the gentleman was a doctor, if not
she would not have gone to him.
It appeared that Mr. Schmidt gave a certificate of the
child's death, and signed it " E. C. Schmidt, from W. C.
Tucker, M.D." The certificate stated that the child died
from cholera.
The following handbill was, it would appear, distribtited
in the neighbourhood :—" Bethnal-green Provident Dis-
pensary, 9, Turk-street, Bethnal-green, Dr. Tucker, M.D.,
M.R.C.S., LS.A. The object of this institution is to
enable persons of small incomes to obtain the best medical
advice at moderate cost. Subscription, during illness
only, for medicines and medical advice, at the dispensary,
ls. a week, at patients' homes 2s. a week."
Mr. E. C. Schmidt made a statement, from which it
appeared that he was not qualified to practice. He was •
student. The business was carried on in Dr. Tucker's
name. For six months past Dr. Tucker had not lived in
the district, but in Kentish-town. He had been once at
the dispensary during last week. Mr. Schmidt attended
to the cases. When he found the present case was not
yielding to his treatment, he advised the child's parent to
send for a doctor, but as it was then 4 o'clock in the morn-
ing, they could not, and the child was dead when he Came
at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning.
Dr. James Edmunds, of Fitzroy-square, mid that be
made a post-mortem examination of the body of thp
deceased, and found that it was an undoubted case of
cholera. The body was collapsed, the nails of the left
hand blue, Ac.
The Coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the
danger arising from the practice of permitting an unquan.
fled person to go out and attend cases of serious illness, the
poor being led to believe that they were having the &deka
of a medical man who lent his name to the " d.
The jury returned a verdict, " That deceased died froth
cholera, and was unattended by a medical man during life-
time, hut was attended by a person holding himself out as
• qualified practitioner, and practicing in the none Of
another man living some miles away,' and they severely
censured Mr. Schmidt.
It was stated that the present is the third case of
Asiatic cholera occurring in the same place, and is the
second which has terminated fatally.

The will of the Rev. Sir John Page Wood, Bart.,
LL.B., of Rivenhall-place, near Witham, and Glares,
wood House, Bradwell next Coggesholl, Rector of St,
Peter's, Oornhill, and vicar of Cresting, Rase:, was
proved in the London court, on the 10th inst., by Lady
Wood, his relict, the sole executrix. The personalty was
sworn under 6,000/. He died, at the age of seventy-six,
on Feb. 21, 1866, at Itivenhall, leaving a family of three
sons and four daughters. His will, bearing date Jan. 10,
1860, is entirely in his own handwriting, and be disposes
of his property in a few words, as follows :—" I give anil
devise all ay estate, real sad personal, to ay dear wile,
Deane Bianca Caroline Wood ; and I hereby make her sole
executrix."
