The Coroner then took his seat in a centrical position at the
table, and having atrtutged the depositions. lie observed. that
although it: the testimony of the several witnesses, there might
he some apparent contradictions, the Gentlemen of the Juiv
would be pleased to recollect, that the witnesses tame up at dif-
ferent times, and were in various situations, anti therefore might
have taken very different eicAs of the transaction, winch eras the
subject of inquiry.
The Coroner then commenced reading the evidence, beginning
with that of Mr. Gouhl the Officer of Ordnance, whi., it will he
recollected, was the first witness called.
At ten o'clock the Coroner finished the summing up of the
evidence and his charge to die Jury, and I discussion arose, as
w whether they should immediately condder of their verdict,
or whether it would be better to adjourn before they came to
decision.
It was finally determined that the Jury should fleet or, ' ;alms-
day at 11 o'clock, to consider of their verdict.

The Jurors assembled at hall' past eleven o'clock. and the Co-
roner arrived son idterwards, and took his wet. The natnea
of the Jury being called over, the Foreman t suggested to
the Coroner the propriety of hi. (the Coroner) withdrawing,
while the Jury agreed upon their verdict.
The Coloner had no objection, lie said, to withdraw. He Ind
delivered his judgment upon the cause. ..nd he had stated to
them what part of the evidence he considered to be lost worthy
if credit. He left the case in their hands, and when they had
agreed upon their verdict they would .:end for .

COI:SPIRACY TO DETA7'E A SURGEON.

John Ravet.scrcft, Sarah (his wife), Daniel(his son).
Hanna! Ravenscroll. an•' Na:-.cy '‘.-.'oNletsck (his datteh-
ter.), anti another, were indicted f•or a conspiracy te injure
John Ltoby, in his 2rofession tau! credit, as a surgeon
and apothecary.
Dir. Alley stated t7ic case for t'•e prosecution will
great force. lie said the prosecutor was a ycung gentle-
man properly (paltrier% and 'tad canimenced the practice
nit his own account, as a s•trgeon and apothecary, in Old-
street, the parish of St. Luke, aiwout tie . years since,
and had exercised these or •fessi• N" I great credit and
s.•evess. ...bout four •ntt'.s si::cc t;:e defendauts had,
as it appeared, united together to -lo itir•- the greatest
jsossible injury, by representing t•• his customers that he
was n. t qualified to act as surgeon and apothecary, nor
entitled 1-y to crake any charge P•t• having so acted,
/wing nothing better that, an impostor, and that no oue
who employed hit need ?ay hit 1, as he could not recover
by law.
!Ir. Roby was the first • •ittiess called. :fc stated that
he •ass carried on the business of surgeon and apothecary
at Old-street for two years. Ile bad previously, from
the ear 1815, lived as assistant with surgeons at Chathat .
and Plaistow, and at the for-ier place had practised for
himself &Mtn; the former part of the year previous to the
passing of the Act of Parliament in that year, which re-
qoired that all persons who had not practised as apothe-
caries before the 1,4 of August in that year shoald obtain
a certificate from the Apothecaries' Gall before they
should be allimed to do sc. Ile stated that he had
several patients, one of ho,. ,of the name of Davis, left
him Mel;•.
On his cross-examination by 'air. Adolphus, stated,
that he served his apprenticeship at Ketinilwortl., in
%Varwickshire; that he was articled in the year 1810,
and came to town about four years after
itlr. Charles Boiler Greatorex, surgeon, stated, that
he practises at %Vest liana, near Plaistow, in Essex—that
the prosecutor lived with him for about a year, as assist-
ant, about the rat. 1816—that he conducted himself its
ev•:ry respect with credit, and that he (witness) has ever
since thought highly of his abilities and honour.
Dr. Forbes, of Arg) le-street, deposed, that he knew
the prosecutor year 1815, and considered him
perfectly peteut to carry on the business of an apo-
titecary.—On his cross-examination, he stated, that his
opinion was founded on the knowledge of the prosecutor.
in cons, quence of his Mg attended two courses of
witness's lectures at the Surrey Dispensary, and also
frmi his having attended several other Aledical Institu-
tions.

Mr. f.;harles I syde, rurgeon, stated, that the prosecutor
lived with hire, as assistant in the year 1818, during
wl,icl. time he allowed him to attend the poor at Lam-
where he saw 30 or 40 patier's daily, and witness
considered him a very clever young man.
Catherine Collins,o married woman, Gee-street, St.
Luke'.,, stated, that the prosecutor attended 'ter dining
au illness early in the summer; that some time after tl.e
den:odium, fauna'. Ravenscroft and Nancy 'woodcock,
er of vrhor. she kite..., at the time, came to her
house, inquire!! whether the prosecutor attended
her. tieing answered in the affirmative, they sail; tl•ey
came to tell her that he was neither a surgeon nor alto-
the.z.ary ; that he might be clever, hut could not recover
any paymflit in a court of and she should soon get a
printed paper lion. the Apothecaries' Hall to prove it.
Collins, the husband of the above witness, confire-.ed
his wife's evidence, and stated, that soon afterwards Da-
niel Ravenscroft called on him, and brought hint to the
George public-Louse, where he found the defendants
John Ravenscroft and Thomas Hopley, who asked hint
whether he had paid the prosecutor. Hopley told :tint,
if he should he pressed for payment, I e might defend it
in the larshalsea Court along it, two others, and the
costs would come light on all.
Eliza Davis proved that she 'ad e- .ployed the prose-
cutor, and f:unitl great i:enet:t h•ota his prescriptions.
Hannah Ravenscroft and Nancy Woodcock, neither of
theta she kite: • at the time, called on her and told her
the prosecutor was no doctor, nor any thing of the soil,
but a good-for-nothing fellow frot, the country, and
that she would never pay hint, as he could not rtcover
by law.
Davit, husband of the former witness, stated, that
ltivenscroft, the father, called on 'in.. and desired hi! I
WA to p.iy the prosecutor ally thing. lie welt to R.I.
venseraft's house t. fe‘. days after, Wan§ he saw all the
family, who said the prosecutor was an inferind villain
and good-for-nothing scoundrel, in consequence of which
witness ceased to et :ploy him.
J. W.Bickerton stated, that he called as Ravenscroft's
in conseqt.ence of their reports respecting the prosec.tt r.
They odd hit:, the prosecutor was not a professional
matt, and could not recover payment ; and Hannah tta-
vensereft said her father and Is •0 ether gentlemel were
determined, when they came from the isle of Wight, tr
ruin I•int. The defendant Hoplev was there, and atiered
witness a note to an attorney in the titles of the King's
Bench, who, he said, would defend him against the tiro-
sectitt,r, should he sue for paysaent : llaplcy at ne time
refused to tell witness las name.

Alt. Adolphus wade an intrertiotts address to the Jury
for the defendants. lie attributed the expressions that
had het it ',seed to ti e to.• wane resentment of a female,
who soli:posed herself injured, and the excusasle sym-
pathy of her friends lie called no witness.
The Chairman idiortl charged the Jury. He said a
cluster case of compiracy could tat.t 1w firmed, and a more
honourable character could not be T.tiven to any man
than I.ad been given to bin: who was the of of it.

The prosecutor requested that the female risoners
might be allowed to remain at large on their undertaking
to come up to receive the judgment of the Court.
