THE CASE OF THE COUNTESS OF LINCOLN AND THE DOCTORS

KOREFF AND WOLOWSKI.
TRIBUNAL OF THE FIRST INSTANCE.
The proceedings in this cause, adjourned from the Ist inst.,
were resumed on Friday. The Court was even still more
crowded than during the first days' proceedings, and the seats
reserved for the Members of the Bar were unceremoniously
invaded by the public. Several persons of distinction were
present, and amongst them we remarked the Marquis of Dou-
glas, at the right hand of whom was Mr. Oakey, Counsel of
the British Embassy. The Earl of Lincoln was absent, hav-
ing, as we have already mentioned, returned to England with
the Countess, to attend to his Parliamentary duties. After
the disposal of two or three unimportant cases, this cause,
which excited the most intense interest amongst the public,
was called.
The circumstances of the case have been already stated.
M. Chaix d'Est-Ange and M. Cremieux having addressed
the Court for Doctor Wolowski, and M. Berryer having re-
plied for the Earl of Lincoln,
The Court pronounced a judgment, of which, omitting the
merely formal part, the following is the conclusion:—
From these motives, the tribunal, finding no room to decide
on the demand of the security, judicatum solvi admits the
Duke and Duchess of Hamilton to intervene may on the de-
mand of the Earl of Lincoln, tending to the delivery of the
notes confided to the physicians, puts them out of the cause
fur the surplus, gives acknowledgment to Doctors Koreff
and Wolowski of their having detistrd from their demand
for payment of fees, gives acknowledgment to the Earl of
Lincoln that, in remitting, or causing to be remitted, to
Doctors Wolowski and Koreff, the said sum of 24,000
francs, lodged before the proceedings with Messrs. Frerrcre
Laffitte, and destined specially by the family to the said
Doctors Wolowski and Korff, the latter will be more
than justly and amply rewarded for their fees and salaries
on account of their medical attendance on the Countess
of Lincoln, avid drawing up of the journal of her malady,
and by means of this offer declares the Earl of Lincoln
liberated, and the demand of Doctors Koreff and Wolowski
unfounded ; authorises the Earl of Lincoln to withdraw from
the hands of Laffitte the 6,000 f. exceeding the 24,000 f.
offered; condemns Doctors Koreff and Wolowski, to deliver
to the Earl of Lincoln the compliment of the journal of the
Countess of Lincoln's malady, the notes written by the Duke
and Duchess of Hamilton, the Earl and Countess of Lincoln,
and the brother of the latter, and even those which may have
been partly written by the physicians, decides that the said
delivery shall take place within a fortnight from the notifica-
tion of the present judgment, if not, and in the event of their
failure, to make it within the said delay, condemns them in
solido to pay to the Earl of Lincoln, the sum of 100 f. for
each day's delay, and during a month, at the expiration of
which time and in default of execution, proceedings shall
take place; declares the Earl of Lincoln's demand for da-
mages unfounded, and that, of the mass of expenses, one-
eighth part shall be supported by the Earl of Lincoln, and the
. surplus by Doctors Wolowski and Koreff, each to the amount
of one half.
