„COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

nos 1, LIBEL.
MORRISON V. HARMER.
(Continued from The Sun of Saturday. )
Dr. James Johnson has seen the advertisements of these
pills, and also heard the effects of the analysis. Did not think
it proper for the public health that the pills should be given in
the quantities prescribed and fur the cure of the diseases named.
The pills were calculated to be very destructive of life. The
great culpability is the indiscriminate administering cf these
pills, and in such excessive quantities.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said this was his case.
Mr. KELLY proposed calling witnesses who bad taken the
pills with benefit.
The CHIEF JUSTICE decided that it was admissible, but con-
sidered it would go but a very short way as an answer to the
plea of justification. The pills might be taken by A B C and
• with benefit, and yet this be no proof it was a medicine fit
to be administered to the public indiscriminately, at all ages,
and for all diseases. He should, in charging the Jury, put the
question to them in the words of the plea.
Mr. Saunders, a retired tradesman, was 55 years old, and
bad since 1828 been much indisposed. In October, 1833, he
- began taking Morrison's pills, and kept taking them, gradsally
increasing. the dose, till he got to 12 a day. He afterwards
took 20 a day, and soon after saw Mr. Moat, by whose direc-
tions he went on increasing the dose, till he took 20 every
night for two months. On one night, feeling very unwell, be
_took a second 20, any found they had the desired effect. At
. the end of two months he found himself quite a new man.
His complaints were entirely removed.—( Much laughter.)
lie had since found them to be cures for the tic-doloreaux and
. lumbago, taken in doses of eight a day.—( Renewed laughter.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant WILDE—In what part of
• your person had you the tie-doloureux Witness—Perhaps,
• if I had said the toothe-ache and the swollen face, it would
-•_ have been better.—( Roars of laughter.)
Thomas Sorrell a few years since was afflicted with a dis-
order that baffled the skill of all the medical men to whom he
_bad applied, until at length he took Morrison's pills. He took '
them at last one hundred at a time. Ile was more like a
monster than a human being before he took the pills ; he was ;
one complete swelling all over, from head to foot.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—SO, you took 100 pills
at a time. Did you take them in a shovel or a coal-skuttle ?
Witness--No.
Mr. CLARKsON—What effect had they? Witness—They
caused a purging that lasted upwards of an hour.—( Bursts of '
laughter.) I don't mean one evacuation lasted that time.—
(The roars of laughter this answer caused lasted several
minutes.) After the purging was over I vomited for an hour.
,_ Me. C. PHILLIPS was about to re-examine this witness, when '
'46 said, " Stop a bit, give me breath."
Mr. Sergeant Winne—l thought you had recovered your
breath ever since you took the pills.
Richard Linton was a carpenter, and lived at Litnehouse.
About twelve years ago be was afflicted with general debility,
and under the care of several medical men, who could do him
no good. Mr. Abernethy told him to read his book.—
. (Laughter.) When he described to Mr. Abernethy how he
felt, he (Mr. A.) paid no attention, but walked about the room,
and sang " Tol 10l de rol."—( Roars of laughter.) At length
he heard of Morrison's pills, and took them eight at night and
eight in the morning, and that cured him. Had occasion
during the time the cholera was raging to go to the Cholera
Hospital, being an undertaker.---( Roars of laughter.)—
. Went on business. Thought be had got the cholera, and took -
, 20 pills No. 1, and 20 No. 2 afterwards to calm the irritation •
of No. 1. Woke in the night, and told his wife how he felt.
The first dose had worked off ky that time, so took 20 more of 1
No. 2, that cause vomiting, so he took 15 of No. 1 to stop it ;
that gave him partial relief and he followed it up by taking '
20 of No. 2, and that cured him of the cholera. His wife
has taken thousands of the pills. Her health is improved in
• • consequence.
Cross-examined.—Took 80 pills in twenty-four hours. The
purgieg lasted two hours on and off —( Roars of laughter.) •
It was moderate, but at the same time pretty brisk.—( Re-
newed litughter.)
Mr. Richard Grant, of Tower street, also spoke of the be-
neficial effects of Morrison's pills. He took ten on Friday night,
• after he left the Court.—( Roars of laughter.)
By Mr. CLARKSON—Why did you take ten pills last night
Witness—l'm glad I took them, for I'm better able to talk
to you, gentlemen, to-day. Dined yesterday with twenty of
Morrison's patients. Did not take any pills before dinner.
Had paid 251. for pills in two years. Don't know who paid
for the dinner yesterday. Knows he did not.—(Laughter.)
The pills made • him sick. He did not bring them up—they
all went the other way. Did not think that Morrison's pills
. would give a man a new set of teeth.
Mr. Huxtable was cured of a fistula by Morison's pills, of
which he bad taken 70 in 24 hours.
The above was the last witness examined. At a few minutes
after six o'clock the case was adjourned to Monday.
(THIS DAY.)
The CHIEF JUSTICE took his scat on the bench at half-past
nine o'clock, previous to which the Court was crowded to ex-
cess, and the examination of the witnesses to rebut the evi-
dence for the defence was immediately proceeded with:
• Ann Baker, examined by Mr. Pultues—Was afflicted
about 13 years ago with pains in her side. She went to several
medical men, among whom was Sir A. Carlisle, who stated that
_ she was afflicted with abscess, and that be could do nothing ,
for her till it showed itself. Was afterwards under the care
of Dr. Billing, at the London Hospital, who, finding he could
• do nothing for her, handed her over. to, Mr. Andrews, who open-
ed two issues in her back ; but this doing her no:good, she
• went afterwards to the Margate Infirmary, where she was
under the care of Dr. Brown, who opened another issue
in her hip, but no good ensued. Returned again to the
London Hospital, where she was under the care of Dr. Ro-
binson and Mr. Headington for seven months, but no cure was
effected. Suffered the most excruciating agony. The dresser
of the Hospital, after she returned home, attended her for
• sonic time, and applied leeches every other day, but without
any success. Ultimately she was pronounced incurable by all
who attended her. Last January two years she began to take
Morrison's pills. Took six of No. 1 one night, and six of
Nu. 2 the next. Increased them two every night, until she
got to sixteen. After taking five I Is. packets, found herself
much better. Took sixteen each night for a month or five
weeks. Before she began to take Morrison's pills, could not
put her foot to the ground ; by degrees her foot got better.
After using the pills her appetite, which was bad, got much
better, and she now took about twenty pills a day. Had been
made a present of an I Is. packet of pills by the College of
Health.
Cross-exaniined by Mr. -Sergeant WILDE—Was first applied
to to give evidence yesterday. Had been taking the pills
two years.
Jobson Lincoln, examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—Was a sur-
geon at Northallerton, in Yorkshire. Was a surgeon for 12
years in the East Indies, where his constitution was completely
ruined. Was first attacked there with bilious fever, commonly
, called the_ bloody vomit, which often took people off in twenty-
four hours. Had also epilepsy and violent liver complaint.
When he returned to this country he went to Bristol, where
he had medical advice from Drs. Davis and Spence, but re-
ceived from them nothing but temporary relief. Was under
the `care in London of Dr. Pemberton and Mr. Bamfylde, but
• with as little success. At last he began to take Morrison's
pills, taking twenty a day. At this time had erysipelas,
which had shortly afterwards presented a very healthy appear-
ftle_e. He then increased the dose to seventy a day, which.
Lad a surprising effect on his liver, in which he bad no pain
since. Had taken as many as 110 in eighteen hours.—
(Laughter)—which bad only the effect of a gentle purgative
—( Increased laughter.) Any person having a bad appetite, ,
• be would advise to take the pills.
, From-examined by Mr. CLaaasors—Had been incapable of
'Hang, any thing in his profession for the last 25 years, in con-
Sequence of the maladies under which he laboured. Was not
One

Morrison's stock witnesses. Had not said any
the Old Bailey about the black vomit. Gamboge was

the •
Ingredients contained in the pills he took. The 110 lie

Should he happy to get some. Visited Mr. Webb cc.
casionally.
Re-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—In the last vessel he was
connected with, he had no less than 300 men under him.
Elizabeth Robinson examined by Mr. ESPINASSE—Her
brother kept the Anchor and Hope public- house at Stepney.
Had been labouring under rheumatic gout for four years. Was
under the care at first of Dr. GoEsett, who pronounced her
complaint to be dropsy. Did not quite recover under his treat-
ment ; but went under his advice into the country. On re-
turning to town her complaint returned, and she then took
Morrison's pills. Four of No. I one night, and four of No.
the next afterwards. Increased this dose to twenty, which re-
lieved her very much, and she had never felt the pain in her
side since. Before taking the pills she haul consulted Dr.
Davis, Mr. Lawrence, Dr. Rees, Mr. King, and Sir A.
Cooper ; but under their treatment she got worse instead of
better. Sir A. Cooper stated that he pitied witness, as he had
used the finest medicines lie knew of without effect. Witness
now enjoyed better health than she had done for five or six years
before.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE —Said the first
two days the pills made witness rather poorly ; she felt sick,
but her strength kept increasing. Sir Attley Cooper told her
he could do her no good ; lie stated that she must be careful
what she cat and drank. Her appetite was much better after
she had taken the pills. Was only told yesterday that she
was to attend a Court to.day by a friend of hers named Skin.
ner. Last took Morrison's pills on Saturday night for the
influenza, of which she was quite recovered now.
Mary Skinner examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Lived at
No. 7, Ocean-street, Stepney. Her husband worked in a
e'iemival manufactory. Caught cold in 1833, which caused
violent sickness and pain in the stomach. Took ten of Mor-
rison's pills, which caused violent vomiting. Took several si-
milar doses, which produced the same effect. After this she
slept soundly for several hours, after which she got up and eat
two eggs and three rounds of bread and butter.—( Great
laughter.) Went out in the afternoon and bought beef steaks
for her dinner, of which she ate nearly a pound, she was so
violently hungry.—( Increased laughter.) Witness had a son
that wag afflicted with abscess in the naval. She gave him
Morrison's pills, which effectually cured him in two months.
He was quite well till about a fortnight ago, when be was at-
taeked by the influenza.
Grose-examined by Mr. BODKIN—Had been a witness on
Salmon's trial. Had written down all the particulars of her
husband's case, and had sent the account to Mr. Morrison.
Had the pleasure of reading the account in Mr. Morrison's
publication.--,q A laugh.) Only read it once.
Mr. H. Tothill examined by Mr. KELLY—Was a member
of the College of Surgeons, and resides near Exeter.
Suffered from ill health for many years. Had been ill
from his .boyhood. Consulted a great number of medi-
cal men ; was relieved for :the time by their prescrip-
tions, but was not mired. Began to take Morrison's pills about
six years ago ; continued to take the pills for two years, got
very much better ; it was the only medicine which gave him
decided relief. Considers his health now re-established ; at-
tributes this solely to Morrison's pills. Had the cholera ; was
attended by a medical friend, recovered in some degree, but
was very much debilitated ; resumed Morrison's pills, took from
twelve to fifteen every night, was decidedly relieved, gained
strength, continued to take them till he recovered. Had en-
tered into arrangements with Mr. Morrison, and became his
agent ; had been disposing of them for the last twelve months;
had himself taken sixty pills a-day for a week together; they
always produced benefit.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WYLDK—Tho place in
Exeter where the pills were sold was called the British Col-
lege of Health Dispensary.—( A laugh.) Did not know what
the pills contained—never took the trouble of analyzing them.
Morrison's pills were his general remedy. Dispensed no otber
medicine. Had not administered any other medicine for the
last twelvemonths. Mr. Morrison paid him for attending at
the dispensary three times a week. The pills were given away
to the poor. The dispensary was supported by voluntary con-
tributions. Was examined on an inquest. Was at the Old
Bailey at Salmon's trial, but was not examined ; came from
Exeter on purpose. Thinks the pills a remedy for every
disease. An immoderate quantity would of course do harm.
should be guided by circumstances in administering the pills.
Had been in practice for thirteen years. Had no patients else
immediately under his care. Had known people die under
this treatment, -but they would hare died whether they had
taken the pills or not—(A laugh)—would be a madman if he
were not governed by circumstances in administering time pills.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—I ask you this question—having re-
gard to your own judgment that the administration of these
pills ought to be regulated by circumstances, and that you
would be a madman if you did not so regulate it—is it safe to
send this medicine into the world with directions to
take it for all diseases, and that the dose could not be overdone?
Witness—The dose can be overdone. There is no ques-

tion but that is the case.
Patience Griffiths examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Lived in
King's-road, Camden-town; had begun to take Morrison's
pills two years since; had delived benefit from them ; never
took them by wholesale—(a laugh)—took from two to four
at night; the greatest quantity she ever took was four.
George Pearce examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Is a grocer
and cheesemonger living in Ratcliffe Highway ; was attacked
with giddiness, pains in the head, and loss of appetite ;
took Morrison's pills ; took 60 pills a-day ; received relief ;
took 18,000 in two years—(great laughter)—paid About 221.
for the 18,000, and they were well worth it.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant WlLDE—Continued to
take 60 pills a day for 14 days. Had a great discharge from
his nose whilst taking the medicine.—(Great laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—It is suggested you paid for the pills
through your nose.—( A laugh.)
Witness—l paid through my pocket.—(A laugh.) Found
relief from the discharge from his nose—it cleared his head.
--(A laugh.) Never was desired to attend here—was asked
A laugh)—was asked yesterday evening. '
By a Juryman—Was sick shortly after taking the pills, but
none of the pills were brought up.
Joseph Wing, a clerk in the Stamp-office, stated that
the number of stamps taken out by Mr. Morison was in
1831, 403,500, amounting to 3,2491. ss. ; 1832, 941,000,
amounting to 9,3811. Bs. ; 1833, 949,000, amounting to
9,595/. ; 1834, 676,000, amounting to 7,505/. ; in 1835,
494,000, amounting to 5,550/. ; and in .1836, 438,000,
amounting to 4,275/. ; making altogether, 3,901,000 stamps,
amounting to 39,5551. 10s.

of • al -such districts will be irsosoveialdy lot to the
Church. I know the localities of the principslity pretty we'l ;
l I know the disposition of the people, their national pre-
judices, and their religious predilectiOns ; and I declare to
you this day—l declare in the face of the world, that unless
sonic extraordinary effort be made in favour of the Church
in- mysnative country. and to revive its sinking interest, it
will, io a very few years, be reduced to such a state of des-
titution ;,In4 incticioncy, as to entiarger even its very exist-
0-nee. There is another consideration which renders the
abstraction of this large portion of our revenues exceed-
ingly impolitic, at this time--the passing of the late Marriage
Act. There are ninny livings in the principality where the
stieend of the minister consists in fees paid by the people,
air] a great number of parishes where a considerable por-
tion of the clergyman's income is derived from such
sources. Now, my friends, when we consider the univer-
sal prevalence of dissent in Wales, and that four-fifths of
the peasantry are Dissenters, we may conclude that they
will generally be glad to avail themseltes of this Act, and be
married by their own ministers, and this, in some places, will
materially affect he income of the ministers of the Church of
England, and remove, further -than ever, the prospect of
abolishing pluralities, and enable every clergyman to reside
upon his benefice. From such a country as this, it is
proposed to take away a large portion of its ecclesiastical
revenues ; and for what purpose ? For the purpose, it is
said, of supporting a Bishop of Manchester ! Manchester—
one of the most flourishing and prosperous towns, and situ-
ated in one of the most opulent counties in England.
And is it really possible that from hilly, rocky, mountainous,
poor Wales, this surplus is to be taken to support a
Bishop in Lancashire, where the inhabitants are rolling
in affluence, and so glutted with wealth, that they hardly
know what to do with it ? I call the present a most
important crisis in the history of the Church in North
Wales. It now resembles a languid, and flickering flame,
burning in the very socket—by the timely application •of
the precious oil now rendered available, it may be revived :
it may yet be restored to its pristine splendour, and still
ire rendered a burning and a shining light. If it is with.
held, it may be the occasion of extinguishing it for ever.
If you let slip the opportunity, it may sink, to rise no
more. Is it not, then, the plain duty of every Welshman
to do everything in his power to avert such a dire cams
trophe ? My friends, let us all exert ourselves, Let us
use all ;legitimate. and Constitutional means to get this ob-
noxious measure erased from. the statute-book—let us re-
spectfully, but firmly, present our remonstrances tesseiost
its and if, atter all, the Commissioners persist in carrying
their pernicious scheme into execution, upon their own
heads must rest the conscgtiennoti-i—anti we shall, at least,
have the consolation of knowing that we have done our (1,,1tyl
should that period ever arrive, when upon the doers of our
churches may be inscribed " IcHAeose",2l\is glory is de-
parted from Israel, .for the ask of tied is taken.' —(The
Rev. Gentleman .was lewdly and repeatedly cheered during
019. dolivory of his excellent address.)
ARTHUR J. JoRNEs, Esq., in 4400nding the Resolu-
tion, spoke as follOWs ;-.;Mr, Chairman and Gentlemen—
The surplus revenues of the sees of Bangor and St, Asaph
aro not part of the ancient and appropriate revenues of
those sees, but consist chiefly of Welsh parishes annexed
to the bishoprics in very modern times ; the great bulk of
the proverty belonging to the North Welsh sees is com-
posed of parishes which have been attached to them within
the last century and a half,--(Hear, hear.) To the parishes
of North Wales, therefore, the surplus fund originally be-
longed, and to those parishes, on the union of the sees of
Bangor and St. Asaph, it ought in all justice to have been
restored. It is not my intention to east imputations on the
Commissioners, but I will not shrink from the avowal
which I deem due to my native country,that this measure was
a downright surprise upon the Principality.—(Hear.) Up
to the very eve of this meeting, many of the best informed
persons believed that this Act had not in reality effected the
alienation of the revenues of the North 'Welsh dioceses.
Let me ask is this the way to deal with the interests of
any portion of the empire ? It has often been said—l trust,.
truly, that the Welsh are a religious and a loyal people.
But what is to become of their religion if you destroy their
religious endowments ? What is to become of their loyalty
if you subject them to measures which have bound them-
together in one absorbing sense of oppression that has ex-
tinguished all sectarian differences, all feelings of party ?
This-is the first time since the battle of Bosworth, (when
the Welsh gained freedom under Henry the Seventh) that
they have been united in opposition to the measures of
Government. Half the counties of .North Wales have
already met to remonstrate,•and the rest will soon fol-
low. If, then, this measure 'remains uncancelled on the
Statute-book it-swill -go -*lowa-to- posterity as a measure
of force .and not. of 'freedom, imposed on the Principality
against. her expressed will—in defiance of the solemn and
unanimous protest of the Welsh people. The English
Government has demanded from the Principality what no
poor country has it in her power to bestow. She is rich in
men but not in gold-she has manned your fleets—she has
filled your armies ; -but she cannot, and she will not, erect.
for you new episcopal dignities in the wealthiest of your
cities. •

Mr. GABRIEL ROBERTS proposed the following Resolu-
tion :—" That petitions embodying- the foregoing resolu-
tions be prepared and forwarded to the Marquis of West-
minster, requesting his Lordship to present- one to the
King, and one to the House of Lords ; and that Lord
Robert Grosvenor, M.P., and John Jervis, Esq., M.P., be
requested to present one to the House of Commons."
Mr. E. PARRY begged to second the resolution just read,
and corroborated the general statements made by the Rev.
E Evans and Mr. Johnes, as to the mal-administration of
the revenues of the Welsh church ; and coming at once to
plain matters of fact, he stated the several items in pounds,
shillings, and pence, showing that the revenues of the see
of Saint Asaph are thus divided :—The present Bishop,
and Dean, with his eleven livings—the relatives and
friends of the late Bishops Shipley, Bagot, Horsley,
Cleaver, and Luxmore (all ignorant of the Welsh lan-
guage) together with other sinecurists and absen-
tees from the diocese, receive the enormous sum of
34,3691. annually ! !—( Hear, hear,. hear.) But the actual
working clergy of the whole diocese receive only 18,3811.
Again, the revenues of the see or Bangor may be thus di-
vided : The present Bishop and Dean—relatives and. fa-
vourites of • former prelates—absentees, &c., receive
22,305/. annually ! Whilst the whole of the working
clergy of this diocese receive not above '20,293/. ! The
Bishop of Lichfield receives from Tywyn and three
other adjacent parishes in Merionethshire, the sum of
1,1001. per annum ! His Lordship pays his two curates
(who perform the duty of the four parishes) chiefly out of
Queen Anne's bounty. The Dean and Chapter of Win-
chester receive annually from the parishes of Gresford,
Holt, and Iscoed, in the counties 'of Denbigh and Flint,
the sum of 2,400/. The Chapter generously pay the cu-
rate of Holt for officiating for them, the yearly sum of
204 ; the remainder of his stipend, amounting to 100/.
more, is made up out of Queen Anne's bounty. The same
Chapter pay the curate of Iscoed entirely out of the same
bounty. In fact, throughout North 'Wales, that
bounty is resorted to- 'l4 bishops pluralists, and
absentees,- in order to" relieve themselves from pay-
ing their .curates, who perform. the duties of these parishes,
from which they themselves derive such exorbitant sums
without rendering the least service in return ! From these
statements, without ,enumerating. a host of similar in-
stances

Wales already contributes very • liberally towards the sup-

guage to express my abhorrence of such an act of prepos-
terous injustice and oppression towards my countrymen.
I say it is an act of dire spoliation ! It is robbery—sacri-
legious
robbery !' And if the rich and opulent people of
Manchester will condescend to receive it, I can never look
upon them in any other light than 6 receivers of stolen ,
goods! ' " 66 And before I conclude," (continued Mr.
Parry) I wish to shew you how ridiculous it is that
a minister, not thoroughly acquainted with the lan-
guage of the Welsh people, should attempt to per-
form Divine service in their churches, as the following
instance will sufficiently demonstrate :—I know a Rev.
Gentleman, holding some half dozen good livings in Wales,
having partially acquired a knowledge of the Welsh lan-
guage, when delivering his sermon out of the pulpit to one
of his congregations, when endeavouring to read the sen-
tence " Fe • gaiff y cyfiawn fywyd tragywyddol ;" that is
" The righteotis shall have life everlasting," ho articulated
it so awkwardly, that his audience understood him to sat,
" Fe gaiff y•cywion fywyd y gwyddau!"
shall have the life of the geese !"—( Loud laughter.) I
need not tell You that the congregation were convulsed with
laughter by hearing such expressions. i.e. -6 The goslings
Dr. PHILIP JONES moved the third resolution :—" That
the thanks of this meeting be given to Arthur James
Johnes, for his attendance on this occasion, and for the most
essential service he has rendered to the interest of the
Established Church in Wales." •
Mr. J. FOULKES seconded- the motion.
After a few words from C. AltutuALL, Esq., and the
CHAIRMAN,-
C. MottaALL, Esq. moved—" That to secure to the Prin-
cipality Clergymen acquainted with the language of their
docks, his expedient that a knowledge of the Welsh lan-
guage should be required in .Prelates who may he ap-
pointed to preside over the Established Church in that
country."- WhiCh, with the exception of two dissentients,
was carried -nnauimousty. The speaker then moved a
vole of thanks...to the Chturman, for his kindness in presid-
ing on the occasion.

G. B. GRANVILLE, Esq., briefly acknowledged the ho-
nour.
