To T. TAYLOR, Esq.
No. 9, New Bridge-street, London.

Ho,touaro St a,
IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
A. year 1790, 1 had been atHicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course at medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, wi;uld appear to
be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my stisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer un the crown of my head,
one en each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left bait also
two large nodes un it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me uch excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; io this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take Your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 2/3th o. May; in the course of a
fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my headand arms were soundly healed—
soon after, the sores ins my leis healed also; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolour:own in Om skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little
longer pet severance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going thus became, by
yo r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my
former complairits—have recovered my former spirits and
strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, tonic astonishment of all who knew
u.r, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but
beg yon, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humbleservant.

FALSE RETURN of the PRICES of CORN.

Yesterday the case against Messrs. Boggis and
Savage, corn-factors, in pursuance of notice from the Loan
Marou, came on at the Justice-room, at the Mansion-House..
' The Surveyor-General of Corn Returns, charged the de-
fendants with having made an undue return of the sales of
corn. It will be recollected that a conviction took place on the
22d of last month, on a similar charge against Messrs. Ruston.
Mr. Boi.LAND attended for the prosecution, and Mr. LAW
for the defence. Neither of the defendants obeyed the sum-
mons to attend, although the postponement of the case was
made with the view of having one or both of them present.
It is necessary for the elucidation of this case to state what
(Ice have it upon authority) transpired after the decision upon
thg„sharge against Messrs. Itiron.
One of the defendants in the preSent case, at the suggestion
of the solicitor for the Surveyor-General, addressed a letter to
the Surveyor-General, of which the following is a copy :
" Jacobs, Esq.
" Sir—The hearing of the information against Messrs.
Boggis and Savage, for an undue return of corn, having been
postponed inconsequence of the non-attendance of Mr. Boggis
or myself, which was impossible, on account of illness, and
which we were informed would not be necessary, if a solicitor
appeared for us, I have now to state to you, that Mr. Boggis,
from the infirmities of his age (76), and the effect of a para-
lytic stroke, has for many years been incapable of taking any
part in the business; and 1 have for myself been confined to
my house by an abscess upwards of sixteen weeks, as Mr. Le-
vick, who lives very near me; knows perfectly, nor does my
surgeon give any hopes of my being able to get out for many
months.

" The return in question was made while I was confined
to my bed, and if our clerk was by anyßtl3 induced to re-
turn a sale not strictly and bonajide correct, it was without my
knowledge.
" I cannot suppose your object in laying these informations
vindictive, but with the view of preventing any undue return
for the future, and as this end must be fully attained by the
conviction which took place at the Mansion House, I put it to
your candour and liberal feelings, whether, under the peculiar
circumstances above stated, you can deem it necessary to pro-
ceed any farther against us in this business, especially after
the serious injury we are likely to sustain, from my incapa-
city to attend to business being circulated through the country
by the newspapers.
" This will be handed to you by Mr. Lofty, our Solicitor,
from whom I hope speedily to hear that you have consented
to withdraw the information.
