That the fifth clause in the Act, making it cam rn

sion of every practitioner."
51r. ALcocx seconded the Resolution, which was put sett

Mr. ADAMS said, that under some circarnstances he cone/dared
apothecaries justified in refusing to make up prescriptionaoti-
though signed by physicians. ar.d related several inetances in whist*
theyehad erred in writing them, and where, if the apothecary had
not detected the error, the death of the patient would have heist
inevitable.
Mr. ettnitatit.L objected to the evidence of druggists being
received on Coroner's Inquests, as many lives had been sacrificed
through their ignorance. In cases of infanticide the evidence of
medical men was of the highest importance, but that of the drug-
gists was in general of a most loose and vague description.
Arr. GALE JONES said, that after a long and expensive educe.
tion. the Apothecaries were compelled to sacrifice their time and
health, while the druggists bore away all the reward. The latter
reigned absolute, and held the physicians in complete dependence-
Some physicians, from mercenary motives, sent their prescriptions
to the druggist's, and overlooked the starving apothecaries. That
was a hardship of which they had a right to complain. The drug-
gists were only tradesmen, and had no right to practise as spathe-
eerie& if the latter were compelled to compound physicians' pre-
scriptions, the physicians ought also to be bound to send only to
them ; there would then be some pretext for the compulsion. It
had been said that the ancients endeavoured to make the study of
medicine a science, and failed, but that the moderns had erdea.-
Toured to make it a trade, and succeeded. If there were any foun-
dation for the insinuation, it could apply only to the druggists.
Several other Gentlemen then addressed the meeting, and it was
ultimately resolved to petition Parliament against the renewal of
the Apothecaries' Act, and for a general redress of the grievances
of which they complained.
, Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting K.
1 parated.

IRISH COMPANY FOR PROMOTING
FACFURFS.

Saturday a very numerous and respectable meeting of the Pros
primers in the above Company, puniesint to advertisement,
Wok
place at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving
:qr. Tindal's opinion on the case submitted to him at the last
Special Meeting. At a few minutes after one o'clock, Mr. Spring
Rice wok the Chair. The Gentlemen now present were per.
fectly aware of the causes which rendered the meeting necessary.
The late distresses prevented the capital originally intended wise
raised, 200,0001., from being subscribed. Marty tirbprietors alto
who had purchased scrip, were anxious to free themselves front
the obligations to which the Act of Parliament rendered thins
liable. The Directors, therefore, submitted a ease to Mr. Tir.dal.,
for the purpose of obtaining his opinion as to the possibility 'of
reducing the intended capital to 1.000,0001. It was to hear that
opinion the Proprietors had this day assembled. The subsume,
of it was, that he considered the purchasers of scrip could not live
themselves from their liability by the sale of their claims. He was
abo of opinion, that the amount of the cannel contemplated by
the Bill could rot be reduced to 1,009,0001., without the inter-
fereuce of Parliament. It was therefore thought expedient by the
Directors to propose that a Bill, obviating these difficulties. should
be brought into Parliament. There were two clausei proposed to
be introduced into the Bill, which he considered of vital fin.
portance. The one was, that power should be given to any, of
the present subscribers to withdraw from the Company wheneker
they thought proper. The other was, that all persons should'be
allowed to continue in the Company who thought proper. With
these two clau4es, he would give the Bill hies earnests supportt
without them. he would oppose it to the utmost' of his power.
The opinion of Mr. Tindal was then read, sad, in 'substance, it
wasw:iat the Chairman had stated.

Mr. S. Rice then mentioned the heads of the proposed [NIL
and submitted a Itesolotion, " That the Directors should b., ern-
powered to carry a Bill containing that proviso through Par.
me:it."

The 3leeting gave its unanimous consent to the proposition. All
the business intended to be brought before the Proprietors being
now concluded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for the able
manner in which he had presided at the present meeting, was
passed, and the assembly separated.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
MANSLAVOTITER.--On Saturday evening an adjourned
skion was taken at the White Lion public-house, King-street, Kat-
dffe, on the body of Justin Bryant, a young lad who cane t.o.hls
death in the following manner:—
Air. John Tyrrell examined—l am a surgeon ; the deceased WAS
brought to my house on last Sunday fortnight, he had then a spill
wound in the head; which appeared like a trifling laceration of sbe
skin ; I administered some medicine to him, and saw him agaie on
the ensuing Monday ; the wound was then in the same state; I
saw him a third time on the next Sunday, and advised his mother
to take him to the hospital; I for the last time saw him on the
following Satnrilay. when inflammation had taken plat', mid •
pressure on the brain manifested itself. This I believe to be the
cause of his death. _ _

Richard Moore examined—l am a coal-whipper, and live et
No. 1, Fawden-fields ; on Sunday fortnight I saw a number of
children following a man of the name of Murphy ; they were
plaguing him in every sort of manner, and throwing stones at him_
Murphy took up the brickbat, which I now produce, and dung it
at them; it struck against a wall, from which it glancet: oft and
struck the deceased on the skull ; he was then taken away • die
brick was thrown with great violence; but I do not think Mitt he
intended to strike the deceased more than any of the other children,
nor that he had any animosity towards him ; all of them were trim.-
ing him; when the deceased was struck a groat quantity of blood
Bowed ; I have not seen him from that time till his death.
Wm. Thompson examined—l live in King.atreet, and work for
Mr. M'lntosh : I saw a mew on Sunday fortnight annoltd by a
number of boys; they were calling him names, and throwing dirt
at him ;he took up a brick-bat, which he flung with great vtolince
among them ;_ it rebounded from off a wall, and hit the deceived,
who bled profusely ; he did not then fall, and afterwards appmped
as well as if nothing had occurred ; the transaction took place in
Pearl-street.
The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, observed that though
the case did not partake of the character of murder, yet it ap-
peared that a life had been lost by the dinging of a brick,. pellet),
in irritation of mind, among a parcel of children, with intrii to
do some injury, and therefore, in his opinion. the verdict the jury
ought to bring in would be that of manslaughter. The. Jury co.
incided in opinion, and brought in a verdict to that effect
Another inquisition was taken on the same evening at the *rt.-
tenni*, Limehoose-bridge, on the body of a master-bricklayer.
named Robert Snell.

From the evidence it appeared that the deceased having on the
previous evening indulged too freely with seise friends, ne inn re.
