nN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
v_, STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means. -
By F. B. COURTENAY, 1Y1.R.C.5.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their of
is founded. By his systematic managemeir
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers s
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
Most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."--2,ledical Circular.

Master Hodgson the prosecutor fixed the raffle on
the /6th of October, 1856, whereas it took place on
the 12th of• February, 1857, the mistake having
arisen by his confounding an entry in his hook
having reference to the keep of another grey horse
belonging to the defendant he had,at his farm.

—I went from Brighton to Chebituesninheasnslattoir3;idhe:
live with Miss Bartholomew at Chettenham. She
had been in my employ eight or ten years. She
of
e
took a private house at Cheltenham, and I set her
edrawPai°,lllldesatbrieilgrlitilwarnbeenydt itw them yUSwigi titBC;
up in business as a milliner. Domestic difficulties
occurred there. I have compounded twice.
Mrs. Snooks was called—She advised Mr. Harris
not to toss because her husband was sure to win.
In her cross-examination she said—l was quite
aware of the arrangement with Miss Bartholomew
about the business at Cheltenham. There were do-
mestic differences there between us. I was taken
to the police station, and charged with committing
a breach of the peace in molesting Miss Bartholo-
mew. No one appeared to prosecute, and I was
discharged. I was not charged with threatening
to stab her ; it was for an assault. I was too fond
of her to injure her in any other sort of way.
(Laughter.) We are in perfect harmony now.
Mr. Watkins, wine and spirit merchant, who
rode the mare, believed the match took place in
the autumn of 1857. She trotted the 18 miles in
-511-minutes. The raffle took place about 10 or 12
days after the match. He was certain it was in
1857. Mr. Harris called on him about a week be-
fore the proceedings were taken at the Guildhall
police-court, and expressed astonishment to find
that he was at the raffle.
In cross-examination he still said he believed the
match took place in the autumn of 1857.
Several witnesses were called to prove the match
and the raffle, but they were unable to swear posi-
tively to the time when the match came off.
A man named Wilson, a cabTdriver, recollected
the defendant bringing the mare to Mr. Low's
livery stable to be taken care of after the raffle.
The defendant said he had half won her at the raffle.
Hundreds of persons came and looked at the mare.
Mr. Low, jun., was called—The defendant had a
grey horse at livery on the 3d of Feb., 1857. The
grey mare came on the 13th, and the grey horse
was charged to Mr. Snooks on the 16th.

The prosecutor and one or two other witnesses
deposed to the defendant being present at the raffle.
The defence was that the defendant was the vic-
tim of a prosecution founded on as vile a conspiracy
as had ever appeared in a court of justice. The
matter, it should be:recollectee, happened five years
ago—and when before the Master the defendant
said that to the best of his recollection he was never
at a horse raffle in his life, and that would be his
defence that day. Having many persons to see on
the day in question, and wishing to see the prosecu-
tor, he might have called at the Cambridge Tavern,
and there have seen him; but he denied now, as
he did before the Master, that he ever entered into
the arrangement spoken to with the prosecutor,
Harris, and Blackman. The defendant was but just
out of his articles when he went to Portsmouth to
practise. The prosecutor employed him. He knew
nothing of Snooks's antecedents, and made a few in-
quiries, being too glad to have a client. It was only
when the defendant insisted on payment of his bill
of costs and the money he had advanced Snooks that
any unpleasantness took place between them.
Evidence was called in support of the defendant's
case, and _ _ _

The jury found that he was at the raffle, but had
forgotten it, and had not committed wilful perjury
in his denial, which finding amounted to a - verdict
of not guilty. . .

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.-July 14.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.
THE WHOLESALE BIGAMIST.

Mr. Wontner—You Were the seconder of Sayers,
I believe, in his famed battle.

Mr. Welsh—l was, but Ido not call that biieig
a pugilist. I have not fought since 1851.
Mr. Wontner—Then you retired with the Great
Exhibition of 1851 ? (Laughter.)
Mr. Welsh—l have not fought since then. I
might have dozed a little coming along, but
was not asleep, and could hear all that passed.
I did not hear my friend chaff the defendant,
but their talk might have woke me up. I did
not hear my friend or any one else say that the
police were to be bought, and that he (No. 85)
knew it. I did not hear any eine say that they,
the police, were rogues, that they were always
about the public-houses, and never to be
found when they were wanted, and that when they
got hold of a drunken man they shook him by the
heels to shake all the money out of him. I might
have been awoke from my doze when the, defendant
was looking for his Exhibition ball. I did not
threaten to punch the defendant's head. All I said
was that if the lady belonged to me I should chas-
tise him. I did not threaten to knock his teeth
down his throat. I might have told him to rise up,
but did not know what for. He rose up, but Ido
not know what for. I did not strike him to my
knowledge— I am sure I did not strike him. I
might have struck him in the scuffle, but not to my
knowledge. I had a scuffle with Price on the
platform. After I was removed from the carriage
I did not knoCk him down twice nor once. We
might have had two minutes of it.
To the Magistrate—l had not my coat off at the
time, but Price had. I did not strike the defen-
dant after that, hor did. I see him on the platform
before he struck me with his truncheon.
Mr. Watson, yeast merchant, of 191, High-street,
Borough, corroborated h great portion of the evi-
dence of Mr. Welsh; and repeated a portion of the
language used by the- defendant in the
and which was of so nasty and disgusting a charac-
ter that all females and youths had been previously
removed from the court. The witness proceeded to
sqy that after the defendant had struck a light, and
placed the match so close to the dress of the lady
when looking for his ball as to endanger it,the gentle-
man in the carriage said he did not like policemen, and
this caused the defendant to use the offensive lan-
guage. The language made use of by the complainant
to the defendant was " Yon are a very disgusting
fellow to make use of such language in the
presence of a lady. If the lady belonged to me I
should certainly chastise you." The defendant's
reply was " I could lick 40 such as you," at this
he got up, and Mr. Welsh got up at the same time;
they had a tussle, and the defendant threw the
complainant over my knees. The other man (Price)
struck me. By this time the train stopped at the
Vauxhall station. Mr. Welsh was forced out, and
both the defendant and Price drew me from my
seat, and forced me from the carriage with such
force that I had great difficulty in saving myself
from injury. As soon as he recovered he heard e
gentleman say " He has killed a man," and saw the
defendant about to get into the carriage again, but
he was prevented. Witness at that moment saw
Mr. Welsh lying on the platform in a state of in-
sensibility and as if dead, with a fearful wound on
his head, from which the blood was rapidly flow-
ing. The sight was such as to give him a great shock.
In reply to Mr. Selfe, the witness said the defen-
dant might have taken a glass or two of ale; but
knew what he was about.

William Menfield Ashford, 35, tailor, was charged
with feloniously marrying Eliza Salt, at Wantage,
on the 14th of September, 1857, his former wife,
Elizabeth Ashford, being then alive.
The prisoner was also charged with feloniously
marrying Elizabeth Perryer, at Bath, on the 23d
of July, 1845, his former wife being then alive.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to both indictments.
Dr. Staveley Hill, who condncted.the prosecution,
briefly stated the following facts to the court :—ln
July, 1845, the prisoner married his first wife,
Rosetta Ryland, at Trinity Church, in the parish of
St. Mary, Newington. Shortly after,, he deserted
her, leaving her with one child. On the 2d of
August, 1853, he married at Bath his second wife,
Elizabeth Perryer ; in 1854 or 1855, he married his
third wife, a girl named Jordan ; in 1856, he mar-
ried his fourth wife, named Ann Nolder, whom he
married in the name of Wililam Norman ; in 1857,
he :Married his fifth wife, Elizabeth Salt, at
Wantage, and after spending all her savings he
deserted ; and in January last, married his sixth
wife, Elizabeth Dunn, at St. Helens, Lancashire.
He deserted her, and came to Oxford in May last,
and paid attentions to a girl named Hall, and to
another named Russell. With the latter he was
seen in Oxford by his Wantage wife—his fifth—
Elizabeth Salt, who gave him into custody.
At the suggestion of the Judge, Elizabeth Salt
was called into the witness-box, and stated that
when the prisoner courted her she was in sei vice,
receiving £8 a year; that she had saved £4 10s.,
which the prisoner spent, and then deserted her.
At the time of their marriage she had not the least
idea that he was a married man.
The Judge, addressing the prisoner, told him
that he had seen many parsons standing in the
dock charged with having committed a rape, but
his conduct was infinitely worse, because, not by
force, but by a series of most wicked frauds, he had
deprived his victims of their honour, their charac-
ter, and their little property. Under such circum-
stances he felt compelled to pass upon him the
heaviest sentence which the law allowed, namely,
that he be kept in pnal servitude for seven years.
There was some slight applause when the Judge
had pronounced the sentence.

In cross-examination by Mr. Wontner, the wit-
ness said that he had known Mr. Welsh some time,
but the lady and gentlemen in the carriage were
perfect strangers to him. He had not before had
any contentions with the police. He was much
excited when he first saw his friend Mr. Welsh lying
on the platform, as he thought he was dead. Had
no recollection of having heard any one say that
the police were to be bought, and that 85 knew
it. His first observation was owing to the
lighted match being placed under the lady's dress.
He did not say anything about the police being
only found near public-houses, or of the police
shaking drunken persons by the heels to shake the
money out of them..,: He never raised his hand ;
and when attacked he kept his.hinds in his pockets
in which were nearly £BO belonging to Mr. Welsh,
the taking of his booth on that day, and £2O of
which was silver. Some blows were exchanged
in the carriage before Mr. Welsh was forced out,
but he could not say how many by either of the
parties. He did not see any fighting on the plat-
form ; the first thing he saw was Welsh in the act
of falling.
Mr. Thomas Wm. Turner, a gentleman connected.
with the British Museum, was not in the carriage
with the parties, bat in getting out of the one he
was in, he saw the policeman (the defendant) strike
a violent blow with his staff on the complainant's

head. There appeared to have been some scuffling
going on just before, but he did not see it. The
blow was given with suchforcethpatietkheed psutaff
split in halves, and the defendant
pieces.
Mr. Thomas Knowles, of No. 9, Creel-court, an
old soldier, who is at present drill-sergeant in the
37th Middlesex Volunteers, who wore the uniform
of the corps, and whose left breast was decorated
with two medals—said that on the evening in

Mr. Boot, the surgeon who attended Mr. Welsh,
and
describedthe wound as one of a very serious cha-
racter,endangered the life of the complainant
for some time.
Mr. St. Aubyn here applied for an adjournment
of the case to a future day, as it was his wish, if
possible, to produce the lady and gentleman who
were in the carriage at the time, to give their evi-
dence in the case. The name and address of the
gentleman had been taken in the night, but unfor-
tunately, in the confusion, some mistake was made
in the address, and therefore he could not be found.
The lady had called at the house of his client, but
he was too ill at the time, and his young man bad
unfortunately neglected to take her address. He
(Mr. St. Aubyn) hoped, however, that on reading
the particulars of the case in the papers, the parties
having before expressed their willingness to come
forward and give their evidence, would attend on
any future day that his worship
might please to
name. He felt it necessary to state that on the
circumstance being represented to the Commission-
ers of Police, they at once suspended the defendant___
from duty, and they were anxious that the fullest
investigation should take place.
Mr. Selfe complied with the request, and ad-
journed the further hearing to Wednesday week.
