upon his door; and that he wrote prescriptions' and
signed* them as phySicians nasally do. A pp. b,

to have an impression upon hi, mind ;bat there
was such a faiffion, and that the proceedings, -h- n.
going forward in the Censors'Hall, were t0,..i,..14..1
by that fagion. He was assured that there way If)
such thing, and that the Censors had no piglet it
him, but that they only aged in conformity itoh,
what they considered their duty, by the ragitli-,
'ions of theColleg.!, and of the itarums of thi.tkingeLn .
and that they enueavoured to disebargeit with impar-
tiality.—Upon this Mr. Campbell became warm,
and arraigned, in rather .severe terms, the conduCt
of the Censors' Board.. Ile dhided that they atagd,
with impartiality, at.,l insinuated that they had
unworthy mod,: ::s for th.ir proceedings. At last
he proceeded to say, t I always knew you to be a
partial Board. Sir Walt.:: Farquhar and Dr. Bs-•
bington got into the' Collage by rising inooey to'
Dr. Saunders' As soon as he had used these es,
premioahlhe President script him, and said, t Me,:
Ciaapbeli, I can liear no more of this. you will
please to retire.' Upon this, he said he would not
ret're, bet that we might turn him out, for bst
would not go till ha chase; that he did not come
there unadvisedly, he having talked to his Lawyer

He w..s ....)!e to jay it ; and he more than once
put his hand to his pocL'et, and asked what was
to pay ? He continued to put interregatorir ,
for some minutes. as to • what the College
would do, and as to how they would proceed ;
with an ititen;i;:n, as it appeared to me, to
provoke altercation. No answer was made to him.

the room. one of the Censors said to him' Are you
