THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL,

LATE MESSENGER OP THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.
SEVERAL friends .of Mr. Gaskill; having taken
his case into 'consideration, and believing as they do,
that it is one of great hardahip, have INSTIIUrEII A SUBSCRIP-
TION on behalf of himself ant 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 ofi a JeW frienda.• Mr. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever been urged
against him further ti an having been forced into a prison for twenty-
one days, through being security for acme of the.Manehester'official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is:no doubt, has been most, .cruelly
treated, as the following extract from,Ohe of his letters to the liver-
po 1 Journal will tend to show:-
With reference to,my itisolvericy,•l can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the benefit of the
Insolvent Acts,. Lnd yet retained their situations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his oflice,.took-
the benefit of the Act, which 'involved a ,remand of four months to.
Lancaster Castle, and still now }Midi his appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge; after the usual forms
had been complied with, which occuoiect Ave minutes ! . . •
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters. by which he hopes
that an enquiry may be instituted into his case :

W. C. SPRING RICE

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 rase 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, arta that
tie Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration ; that Mr.
Gaskill has been harshly used; that it is, true he is one o' ti.e 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 called on to pay,;, qt,t, he did
pay a part; that ha ,offered to pay the,remaidder in rime, but that
the parties wouldnot.wait, mid that the IhsolVent Court was the only
alternative; that, during the necessary, process of twenty-on e. 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 bye visit to Latteaster
Castle.,

SubicripUons on behalf of Mr Gaskill and family will be received
at the Liverpool Journal Office; by Mr. W. Pearson, Times Office,
Lord-street; Mr. Aylward, News Agent, Lord-street; Mr. E. -q•
Hall, stationer. South John-street; Mr. Whiteman, itriinswick

September, 1856

This Company has been established to meet the urgent 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.
Snacious Premises have been taken—Warehouses, Drag Mills.
Laboratories, and machinery erected; and the Company Is now
prepared for business wholesale end re all.
An inspection of the Establahment 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 nith 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 accompls.l far more than any corps of
Government Inspectors.
Among its arrangermnts may be menti. ned :—lst. That no
fore gn 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
analyzedpharm acebteafiocraeland c

sufficient M acfhoirn e.trhye,
retail, with all Preliminary expenses, and advertisements, have been
business on a certain scale

It was always, however, contemplated by the Directors to make
the premises in Berners•street the Manufacturing, and Central
Whoiesale Depot ; and to open Branches to suit the convenience of
the public in various parts of the Aletropolis, and In the principal
Provincial Cities and Towt_s 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 ihe impres-
sion that it mnst command a very large trade founded on public
confidence.

By the establishment of such branches, thv. company will not
only secure th- 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
Ist far less expense than individuals, since all prepara• ions and com-
pounds will be prepared at the central laboratories, in Berners-
street.

The public Press has added another to the many important ser-
rices it has rendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalence 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 portiunlof common sense to understand
how important an ingredient of medical success the purity of drugs
must be Drugs are the executive of the medical man, and, thererore,
with bad or inefficient drugs he acts like a paralysed man, w' use
limbs refuse o obey him. 'I he 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 e%en
that' injured by some foreign aiimtxture, his whole estimate is
affected, and the process becomes a piece of guesswork. As one
witness says befo• e the Committee on Adulteration, The mischief
of defective medicines is not always immediate. It frequently hap-
pens that a person, from taking a defective drug, increases the dose
iti order to produce the desired effe. t. Then; upon taking the same
.pececription 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 on Adulteration that
the adulteration of dings, though considerably reduced of late years,
stl I goes 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 adulteration. There must be numberless critical
cases of di ease in which the correctness of the strength of an
opiate must make all the difference of life and death; het we are
told that 19 out of every 24 samples of opium are adulterated."

The Directors of the GENERAL APOTIIRCAMES' COMPANY
(limited; consider that the reme .y fur the evil thus exposed will be
found in their plan, and that public confidence moot be obtained by
a large and respectable Company, able by its constitution and
arrangements, to meet the demand for purity is medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro.
fession and the pubbc.
Upon these considerations it was resolved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of the Sh reholdets, held at 49, Berners-street,
August 29, 1556, that the Catital of the Con.pany :honld 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 h., issued at par, namely, .t"10 each.
The Directors therefore announce, that they aie preplu ed to
receive applications for such shares.
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 ineited to visit the
Establishment.
