MEDICAL NEGLECT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE T'ORTHERN TIMES.
Sir.—Having been a 8111);5eriber to the Liverpool Dis-
pensaries for more than forty years, I do not scruple to call
the attention of the public to a case of what I consider ona
of very great neglect, on the part of Mr. Brown, one
of
the surgeons at the Dispensary, in Yauxball-road. It
appears by the account reported in the newspapers, of what
occurred at the coroner's inquest on Wednesday last, the
15th instant, that the mother of Margaret Allen, went ott
Monday evening to say, that her daughter was very had,
having been taken suddenly and dangerously ill, and that
she could neither spoak nor sit up in her bed, and that she
wished the doctor to oome and see her, but that he replied
" he would not," but that he would send her some medi-
cine if she would bring a bottle. The mother did
bring a bottle as desired, and again requested the
doctor to come and see her daughter, as she
was dangerously ill, and she added, •if anything
takes place between this and morning, you will have to be
answerable." Notwithstanding these remarks, and that Mr.
Grimes, another Burgeon belonging to the dispensary, came
in as the mother was leaving, no ona went to see the poor
woman, and she died in an hour afterwards. I have yet to
learn how any medical man can presume to prescribe for a
patient without seeing her, and ascertaining, by ocular
demonstration, the nature of her illness. The only excuse
since offered, that the woman was insolent, and snatched
the bottle out of Mr. Brown's hands, in my humble opinion
makes the case worse. Ido hope, for the sake of the poor
suffering individuals who, from their poverty, are obliged to
apply in such emergencies to the nearest dispensary, and
for the character of the institution in question, that the
committee will have a strict and impartial investigation into
the circumstances of the case, and, without fear or favour,
do ample justice to all the parties concerned. lam sorry to
say that, as a magistrate, this is not the first time that I
have had occasion to complain of similar instances of neglect
on the part of some of the subardinate officers attached
to our public
