The same after-

Thompson made application.
noon, he continued, on which she applied for a
medical order, he visited her husband. Slfe told
him that Dr. Smyth had been attending the night
before, and she had been refused relief fromthe dis-
pensary. It was,about dusk when he reached Thomp-
son's house ; he knocked gently at the door, which
Mrs. Thompson gpened. He asked Thompson his
name, and other particulars, and how it was he was not
able to provide himself with a doctor, remarking that
he was a master painter, and had had the best part of
the year for his trade. Thompson replied that. he had
been here a long time, and had had to keep his children
in bread. He said, :but you pay a large rent, £2O a
year, and keep lodgers. Thompson replied that he hadnot
appliedbefore he wanted it. He thought he was referring
to some other application he was about to make,.and
that it was an indirect way of asking relief. He then said,
but you don't mean to say you want relief. He thought
both. Mr. Thompson and his wife said, no ; he was-sure
one of them did. There was nobody present but Mrs.
Maher. Mrs. Thompson immediately said, Oh ! Dr. Smyth
has been here, and he is going to write to the, guardians,
because he (Mr. Heath.) did not give her the order.
He said he did not tell her he would give her the
order. She then replied in a passionate manner, that
he would not give her the order. He retorted that he
did not say he would. Thompson, then said it was a
very hard cease that he could not get an order
when he wanted it ; he supposed if he had been
an Irishman just - come to town he would have
got it directly. Mr. Heath said it was all the same
to him who they were, but he wished to be convinced
if he had any. means of getting a doctor himself, or if
he was in a -sick- club. He said he was not, and from
the passionate manner in which he spoke, he became
impressed with the idea that Thompson was under the
influence of liquor, not that he imagined the man was
drunk, but only excited. He turned round and asked
Mrs. Thompson if he had been drinking; whereupon
Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Maher, broke out into the
exclamation—" Does he mean to say he's drunk." Mrs.
Maher called him a scoundrel, or a great scoundrel, but
lie told her he did-not wish her to interfere with him in
the discharge of his duties. He then asked to see Mrs.
Thompson's children--they were clean and tidy. He
remarked, .that her husband would be better in West
Derby Hospital. She replied he is not going there ; if
he "goes any where he can go to the Southern
-Hospital, a doctor could get him in, but he is not fit to
be removed. He then told her to follow him to the
office, where he would give her a Medical order, which
she'did. He' could not give her the order in the house,
as he had not his check-book with him on that occasion.
Having given her the , medical order, he, remonstrated
with her upon the impropriety of her in accusing him
of having refused to give her an order, and to tell him
that Dr. Smyth was going to write to the guardians,
when she knew it to be false. While he, was writing
the order, she made a sort of apology for, her husband's
excitement, which he had referred to, saying that it was
lenough to' excite any man to say he was drunk.
He denip,l so. He had no further appli-
