THE MEDICAL ACT.—Mr Talley, of Blaconsfield, Bucks,
attended before Mr Tyrwhitt, and said he had received a
letter from Dr Kahn expressing a hope that it would be
publicly represented that a person was misrepresenting him
by using his name. He did not wish, beyond reading the
letter he hal received, to occupy the time of the court.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he did not see why Mr Talley should do
so. There ware no proceedings under the Medical Ant
before him. He did not wish to hear the letter read, and
would not.
Mr Talley said, that being the case, ho wished to make
an application against a person keeping an Anatomical
Museum. He then entered into a long statement, which
was interrupted by Mr Tyrwhitt asking him to let him
know what his application was for.
Mr Talley said it was for a summons under the 4th sec-
tion of the Medical Act against a person assuming the title
of physicin, and carrying on an extensive practice accord-
ing to his own statement. He (Mr Talley) had been through
the museum kept by him, and there were not fewer than
40,000 representations in it. The person was practising a
gross fraud on the public, as Dr Kahn was in Vienna.
Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley for the letter from Dr
Kahn, and the handbill alluded to in it.
Mr Talley said his Worship would see that the handbill
stated, " Dr Kahn, finding that the great demands upon
his time at his museum rendered it necessary that he should
see patients there only, begs to intimate that he can no
longer be consulted at his private residence."
Mr Tyrwhitt said the question was whether the state-
ment was not true when the handbills were issued.

Mr Talley said the bills were issued daily—he had them
thrust into his hands on all sides. He wanted to summons
the person who practised at the Museum.
Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley how he would show the
person practised
Mr Talky said he would do so. He had not brought his
witnesses with him, wanting the summons first.

Mr Tyrwhitt said he would not grant a summons till he
had:a good deal more laid before him. When Mr Talley
showed him that the person at the Museum practised as
Dr Kahn, he could have a summons, but not all the
eloquence in the world would induce him to grant one
before. _ _ _

Mr Talky then left the court, and shortly afterwards
returned stating that he had to apply for a summons against
Mr Bearnard.

Mr Tyrwhitt inquired what the summons was for?
Mr Talley laid that on a former occasion he (Mr. Tyr-
witt) gave him permission to apply again.
Mr Tyrwhitt remarked that Mr Talley had already done
so, and that ho then told him, as he would do so again, that
he would grant no summons in the case till after the 10th
o! November.

Mr Talley said ho was acting on publio grounds, and
according to his instructions, and he was much obliged to
hie worship for the hearing he had given him.

RIVAL ATTRACTIONS.—" M ILES'S BOY" IN DIEFICUL-
TIES.—Thomas Miles, a boy, between 14 and 15 years of
age, was placed at the bar before Mr Arnold, charged with
stealing three pears, value 11_, from the shop of Mr Ferdi-
nand King, 37, Hendon-street, I'imlico.
Prosecutor said that during his absence from home yes-
terday afternoon the prisoner and some other boys came to
the shop and stole a quantity of fruit, with which they
escaped. When informed of it he determined to go on the
opposite side of the way and keep a watch over his premises.
He had not been there long when the prisoner and two
other boys came up, and the prisoner, leaning over a num-
ber of baskets, stretched himself into the shop and took
three pears. Prosecutor seized him by the arm, when he
dropped them, and then very coolly said that he had got
nothing in his hand. Prosecutor said he was obliged to
bring the case before the magistrate, in consequence of the
frequent robberies committed upon him.'
Prisoner exclaimed —Hear me, your worship—it's all
wrong.
Mr Arnold—Well, what do you wish to say ?
Prisoner—Your worship, I was a .sitting at home when I
heard a horgan, and I went out and then there was some
blue fire in the street, and a blind man a-playing a whistle,
and I was a• looking at the blue fire and listening to him,
when th.ree boys shoved me on the pears, and then the pro-
secutor comes across and says, " I have get you," and lays
hold of me, just as though I was a thief, and I asked him
if I'd to,k his pears, and he said I had, but it was all
wrong.
Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until Monday to have
some inquiries made into his antecedents,
