THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL,
LATE MESSENGER OF TEE BANKRUPTCY COURT

SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
his case into consideration, and believing as they do,
that it is one of great hardship, have INSTII UTF.D A SUBSCRIP-
TION on behalf of himself and family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily
dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not
been in the receipt of one shilling, having been solely dependent
upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever been urged
against him further than having been forced into a prison for twenty-
one days, through being security for one of the Manchester official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been most cruelly
treated, as the following extract from one of his letters to the Liver-
po• I Journal will tend to show :
With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the 'benefit of the
Insolvent Acts, and yet retained their situations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took
the benefit of the Act, which involved a remand of four months to
Lancaster Castle, and still now holds his appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms
had been complied with, which occupied five minutes !
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters, by which:he hopes
that an enquiry may be instituted into his case :
grom the Right Bon. the Earl of Harrowhy :
London, August 9,.111156,

Sir,—l have sent your letter to the Lord Chancellor, and called
his attention to its con• ents, which seem to furnish matter for Inves-
tigation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HARROWBY.
b. T. Gaskill, Esq.
From the Rt. Hon. Spring Rice, Sec. to the Lord Chancellor :-
40. Upper Brooke-street, August 16, 1846.

Sir,—l have to ackowledge the receipt of yo.ur !Ater of the 7th
inst., and its enclosure, which I will Wing before the Lord Chan-
cellor. I may add, however, that his lordship has al+eady given much
consideration to your case.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
W. C. SpRING RICE.

The envelope was marked " Cranworth."
From " Talk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23. 1856.
Talking of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the
Bankruptcy Court, and it was, that a curious case is likely to be
obtruded speedily on the public; that Mr. Gaskill was recently
dismissed from the office of messenger to the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court; that he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully
given to another; that he has made a statement of his case, and that
tie Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr.
Gaskill has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one o' the best-
natured men living ; that, in a strange disregard of prudence, he
went security for an official assignee; that •the official assignee
ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was tailed on to pay; thit he did
pay a part; that he offered to pay the remainder in time. but that
the parties would not wait, and that the Insolvcnt Court was the only
alternative; that, during the necessary process of twenty one days,
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson caused him to be dismissed, but that,
although dozens of Bankruptcy officials have been insolvents, Mr.
Gaskill is the only one who has lost his place by a visit to Laneastar
Castle.
Subscriptions on behalf of Mr. Gaskill and family will be received
at the Liverpool Journal Office ; by Mr. W. Pearson, Times Office,
Lord-Street t Mr. Aylward, News Agent, Lord-street; Mr. E. T

OFFICE, LABORATORIES, AND CENTRAL WHOLESALE AND
RETAIL DEPOT, 49, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London•

September, 185 p,

This Company has been established to meet the urgeni public
demand for pure Drugs and Chemicals, and for Medicines prepared
by the aid of the present advanced state of science.
It was Incorporated in January last, under the provisions of the
Limited Liability Act.
Spacious Premises have been taken—Warehouses, Drug Mills,
Laboratories, and Machinery erected ; and the Company is now
prepared for business, wholesale and retail.
An Inspection of the Establishment in Berners-street will abun-
dantly prove that this Company possesses power and facilities to
perform all that it promises, namely—to prepare and supply the
Medical Profession and the P ,blic with Medicines of every kind,
of known strength, and perfect purity. Invalids' Foods, and Domes..
tic Chemicals, It is confident'y believed that, by observing good
faith with the public in its operations, such a Company cannot fail
to inspire confidence, and accomplish far more than any corps of
Government Inspectors.
Among its arrangements may be mentioned :-Ist. That no
foreign or indigenous Drugs are purchased except such as are
sound and genuine. 2nd. That they are crushed or ground upon
the premises. 3rd. That all commercial Chemicals are tested or
analyzed before they are sold for medicinal purposes. 4th. That the
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Laboratories are under the constant
superintendence of a resident eminent scientific Chemist, recom-
mended by Baron Liebiz and Dr. Fresenius, as eminently qualified
for those duties. sth. That the preparations ordered by the Colleges
in their Pharmacopoeias, are made strictly in accordance with their
directions.
The Directors have taken measures to ascertain the views of the
Profession ; and they are gratified to find that this enterprise has
elicited the cordial approbation of a very large number of Practioners
of Great Britain; they receive daily assurances of support, and the
Company is already doing a very satisfactory amount of business.
The first issue of the Capital of the Company was readily sub-
scr bed, although very little publicity was given to the design ; and
a considerable stock, together with Buildings, Plant. Machinery.
Utensils, and the Fittings of a spacious Shop for dispensing and
retail, with all preliminary expenses, and advertisements, have been
paid for, leaving a portion of the Capital in hand sufficient for the
business on a certain scale.
I. was always, however, contemplated by the Directors to make
the premises in Berners.street the Manufacturing, and Central
Wholesale Depot ; and to open Branches to suit the convenience of
the public in various parts of the Metropolis, and in the principal
Provincial Cities and Torts of Great Britain, for the sale of their
drugs, and preparation% and for dispensing prescriptions. This
intention is strengthened, since many profitable businesses, already
established, have been offered to the Company, under the impres-
sion that it must command a very large trade founded on public
confidence.
By the establishment of such branches, the company will not
only secure the profits of a wholesale and manufacturing business,
but will add thereto the larger proportionate profits of the retail—
and, moreover. it will be able to conduct its branch Establishments
at far less expense than individuals, since all preparations and com-
pounds will be prepared at the central laboratories, in Berners-
street.
The public Press' has added another to the many important ser-
vices it has rendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalent= of adulteration of Drugs and Chemicals employed in
Medicine, and, demanding a remedy for this abuse, The Times, of
August 25, observes:—
" It requires but a slight portion:of common sense to understand
ho at important an ingredient of medical success the purity of drugs
must be. Drugs are the executive of the medical man, and, therefore,
with bad or inefficient drugs he acts like a paralysed man, whose
limbs refuse o obey him. The physician may have the most exact
idea in his head of the amount of drug power which he wants to
apply to the patient's disease; but if his drug deceives him, and con-
tains less of this virtue than it professes to do, and perhaps even
that injured by some foreign admixture, his whole estimate is
affected, and the process become. a piece of guesswork. As one
witness says before the Committee on Adulteration, 'The mischief
of defective medicines is not always immediate. It frequently hap-
, Fens that a person, from taking a defective drug, increases the dose
in order to produce thz; desired effect. Then, upon taking the same
prescription to be made up, when the genuine drug is used the per.
son is almost poisoned.' It is therefore with much concern a e learn
from the evidence given before the Committee Ott Adulteration that
the adulteration of drugs, though considerably reduced of late years,
still gees on to a large amount. Nor is this concern lessened when
we hear that the commonest and the most powerful drugs are both
subject to this adalteration. There must be numberless critical
Cases of disease in which the correctness of the strength of an
opiate must make all the difference of life and death; yet we are
told that 19 out of every 24 samples of opium are adulterated."
The Directors of the GENERAL APOTHECARIES' COMPANY
(limited) consider that the remedy for the evil thus exposed will be
found in their plan, and that public confidence must be obtained by
a large and respectable Company. able by its constitution and
arrangements, to meet the demand for purity in medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro-
fession and the public.
Sipon these considerations it was resolved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of the Shsreholdera, held at 49, Berners-street,
August 28, 1856, that the Capital of the Company should be at
once increased by the issue of further Shares, at the discretion of
the Directors, for the pu pose of extending the business of the
Company ; such Shares to bs issued at par, namely, each.
The Directors therefore aneounce, that they are prepared to
receive applications for such Shares.
s, The Premises and Laboratories are open to the inspection of
Visitors, on forwarding their cards to the Manager ; and persons
desirous of subscribing for Shares are invited to visit the
Establishment.
