THE POLICE COURT&

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Robert Jordan, of George-street, Hanover-square, was
summoned before Mr. Mansfield Z. for unlawfully pre-
tending to be, and taking and using the name, title, and
description implying that he was recognised as • surgeon."
The Hon. A. Thesiger was for the prosecution ; Mr.
Keen, Q.C., and Mr. M. Williams (instructed by Mr.
Edward Lewis) were for the defence.
There was • second summons taken out by the Royal
College of Physicians, Edinburgh, for a similar offence.
Mr. Theeiger said he appeared for the Royal College of
Surgeons. This was the case of • man who had been a
member of two honourable societies—that of the Royal
College of Surgeons in England, and the Ro College of
Physicians in Edinburgh—who had the WAIL of
earning a name and • competence. In 1857 the defendant
was admitted • member of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England, and also of the Royal College of Physicians of
Edinburgh. The defendant signed the declaration that he
would demean himself honourably in the practice of his
profession, and maintain the dignity and power of the
eociety. The defendant also signed the bye laws. In
In
1883, consequence of complaints made to the Council
of the Royal College of Surgeons, to the effect that the
defendant Jordan was carrying on • museum, and publish-
ing indecent books, • letter was written to him by the
I secretary of the council, to the effect that he (the seers-
, tary) had been directed by the council to state that their
attention had been called to the defendant's conduct in
keeping a museum, and in publishing • work entitled " A
Guide to Masculine Vigour," which was presented to the
visitors to the museum, and b ended to ladies and gentle-
' men passing through George-street, and another work
eutitled " Vita Vita Ii,;" that the council would meet in
a few days to see whether it would not be their duty to
remove him in consequence of the misconduct he had
been guilty of ; and that before doing this they would be
ready to receive his explanation. In one of the sections
of the laws of the college it was provided
that no fellow of the eollefe should advertise a
secret cure relating to his practice as • surgeon, or put
forward anything indecent in that character. If this was
done the member rendered himself liable to be removed
from the register, and to comae to be • member of the
College of Surgeons of England. A correspondence passed
between the secretary and the defendant, and on the 10th
April the defendant, by • resolution of the council, was
formally expelled, and at • subsequent meeting of the
council that expulsion was confirmed. In the section
which gave power of expulsion it was further provided
that every member removed from the register should for-
feit all rights as • member, that his diploma should be
void, become the property of the college, and be delivered
up to the college on demand. In accordance with
the act of parliament notice was given to the general
council, and the defendant', name was erased from the
register of the College of Surgeons, and also from
the College of Physicians, Edinburgh. A letter
was written by the secretary, and delivered by Mr. Stone
to the defendant, demanding the diploma. The defendant
refused to give it up. The council, thinking they bad done
enough, took no further steps, and the defendant con-
tinued to show about the diploma as if nothing bad oc-
curred. The council, afterwards hearing that the defend-
ant was publishing books of an indecent character, took
other steps, which resulted in the present summons.
After some discussion between the learned gentlemen
engaged in the case, the further hearing of it was adjourned
till Thursday.

THE rxraNsivz FORGERIES IN FRAUD OP
THE LATE LEEDS BANKING COMPAJV Y.

After our report left the Mansion-house yester-
dar
Ir. Sleigh said he hoped at the next hearing Mr. Watts
would be spin produced, as he (Mr. Sleigh) had just re-
ceived an important document, with respect to which he
desired to croswexamine him. As the adjournment must

now take place, he most swain se the Lord Mayor to ad-
mit the prisoner to bail, but redug the amount of the
sureties which had been fixed ea the last occasion at 5001.
This the accused had been unable to procure, and from the
change in the aspect of the case against him which this
day's proceedings had effected, he wished his lordship
would reduce the amount of bail to 1001. each.

The Lord Mayor sweated to reduce the amount to two
sureties in 2001. each, notice to be given to the solicitors
for the prosecution.
The case was then adjourned to Wednesday next.

THE NORTH STAFFORDARIR3 RAILWAY AND
rams Wonsnix.—The directors of the North Stafford-
shire Railway, after considering a memorial addressed to
them on the subject, have decided that for the future ten
hours shall constitute a day's work for their engine-drivers
and firemen, instead of twelve, as at present, and that in
making overtime every two hours shall be considered a
quarter of a day. Conoesaioni have also been made en
some minor points, bat the directors decline to bind them-
selves not to depart from the principle of seniority in
making promotionL
FLEETS IN THE ftiENTEßEattiLtat.—A letter from
Italy says:—" Within the neat month there will be in
Mediterranean water no fewer than nine fleets—the Eng-
lish, the French, the Italian, the Russian, the Austrian,
the American, the Spanish, the Turkish, and, finally, the
Prussian, which is just announced as having destined Na-
ples as its first station."—Malta Times, May 9.
