for • summons against Richard Talbot, living at the corner
of the Stainsbv.road, exactly opposite Mr. Gilea's surgery,
for • series of *libels upon him,
Mr. Giles stated that his worship woeld no doubt recoi-
-1 lect that he applied ou Thursday, the 10th of April, for
• summons against Richard Talbot for acting as • medical
practitioner without being qualified end without being
=red under the Medial Act. The cue was heard
Mr. Salle on Thunday, and that gentleman heard
all the evidence for the prosecution and defence, and dis•
cided that the cam was clearly made out. The defendant
was lined 10/., and he came before the nagisteate ea
Friday and said he was a ruined man, that he was sorry be
had acted upon had advice, and asked for a month's time
to enable him to rase the money to pay the fine. The
request was granted. He was not sorry that the magistrate
had extended crime indulgence towards the man, but what
he had now to complain of was, that, notwithstanding
Talbot's seeming regret and penitence, he had published
most infamous and scurrilous libels concerning him (Mr.
Odes), calculated to bring him into contempt, to seriously
injure him in his profession, and to render him unworthy to
mix in respectable society if be did not immediately contra.
diet the insinuations conveyed in the atrocious libels in
question, and put the law in motion.
Mr. Yardley—Let me ace the alleged libels.
Mr. Giles handed to the magistrate • copy of a halfpenny
newspaper, published on Saturday last in Poplar, sod •
printed hill decorated with the royal arms, and at the top
the motto, " defend the right." After imputing to
Mr. Giles that he had been guilty of an indictable offence,
and that he was liable to Ana and imprisonment, it went on
to commend the abilities of " Dr. Talbot, the poor man's
friend," euumenited amoral cures effected by him, and
terminated as follows : " Neighbours, here's health and
long life to Dr. Talbot, and may God bless hint." The lad
three words were printed in large capitals.
Mr. Yardley—And you behove you are the William
Giles referred to in this bill?

Mr. Giles- arn sure of it, sir.
Mr. 'Yardley then read some do el rhyme in the half-
penny newspaper groody libelling Mr. Giles' who said, in !
reply to the magistnite, that the "horrible disclosures" re-
ferred to him, anti particularly to his diameter.
Mr. Yardley—Arid the words "illiterate, unqualifled,
and utterly contemptible," you say, apply to you .
Mr. Giles—l do, sir. Pernepa I may be allowed to draw
your attention to two lines of the ribaldry in the newspaper
applying to me :
" I've seen Miss Barton's ghost, a fearful sight,
And Gooseling's, too, the baker's pregnant wife."
I will explain how this nonsense applies to me.
Mr. Yardley--Never mind, Mr. Giles; you have said
enough. How do you prove the publication of these libels?
Mr. Giles—Talbot gave out the printed bills himself, and
took the copy of the libels in the newspaper to the printer
and asked him to publish it in the shape of an advertise-
ment.
Mr. Yardley—Yon have stated quite sufficient, Mr. Giles.
You may have • summons against Talbot for the publiett-
i tion of the alleged libels'
