CONSISTORY COURT, MARCH 4.

THE HON. AUGUSTUS STANHOPE (SON OF THE EARL OF HAR..
RINGTON), V. JANE BALWIN, FALSELY CALLING HERSELF

THE HON. MRS. STANHOPE.,

This was a suit of nullity of marriage, instituted by the
Hon. Augustus Stanhope (younger son of the Earl and Coun-
tess of Harrington), on the ground of fraudulent conceal-
ment of Christian names, he being then a minor, under the
age of twenty-one, and wanting the consent of lawful guar-
dians. The circumstances of this case have already been cor-
rectly stated in this Paper.
Sir C. Itoamsoti, after going through the evidence, said
the Court would abstain from giving any opinion as to what
the ultimate determination of the law might he in the su-
perior Courts. This Court would reserve its judgment upon
the ultimate decision of the case. With reference to other
authorities cited, the Court held that, though a name used
for the purpose of publication may he part of the true name,
still it was not suflicientloo satisfy the policy of the law, as to
the validity of the marriage; and therefore pronounced sen-
tence of Nullity, subject to Appeal.

MR. CHARLES WHITLAW'S REMEDIES FOR
4CROFULOUS COMPLAINTS.

A numerous and respectable meeting of Ladiet
and Gentlemen was held at Frermasons"lavern, on Thursday
last, for the purpose of considering the efficacy of certain Ame-
rican remedies introduced into this country by Mr. Charles
Whitlow, for the cure of Scrofulous Disorders, and also to
take into consideration the propriety of forming an Establish-
ment for the gratuitofts cure of the poor, Joni Mmottv,
Esq. in the Chair.
A Report of a most satisfactory nature was read from a
number of Gentlemen who had formed themselves into a
Committee nearly 14 months ago, solely with a view to watch
over the numerous patients who might come under Mr.
Whitlow's care.

Several medical gentlemen of eminence, who had attended
the weekly examination of the Patients, declared themselves
friendly to the Establishment.
Mr. P. Moons, M.P. stated, that on his return from India
I e laboured under severe indisposition, supposed liver com-
plaint. He had tried the first medical skill in rain ; he was
at last induced to try Mr. Whitlow's remedy, about six years
ago, which effected a complete cure. He also related the
cure of a young relation, who had laboured some time under
a scrofulous complaint unknown to him.
The Rev. Mr. FLETC2I, R made a powerful appeal to the
feelings of the audience in favour of the many poor miserable
objects suffering under the direful effects of disease, and re-
quired medical aid, such as Mr. Whitlaw seemed enabled to
administer.

Lieutenant SIMMONS stated, that he left. India in conse-
quence of a ruptured blood vessel in the lungs, and had been
under the care of the first medical gentlemen without relief ;
that, from excessive bleeding, the use of acids, and impo-
verished diet, he had become so enfeebled and contracted in
his limbs, that he was unable to walk without assistance, and
was obliged to recline on a couch, and his friends were pre-
pared to expect his dissolution in the course of last winter.
In this hopeless state he placed himself under Mr. Whitlaw's
care, when, to the astonishment of his family and friends,
he who, to all appearance, would hare been in his grave
three months ago, has been nearly that time restored to the
active powers be now enjoys.
Mr. NEALE expressed his regret that no provision seemed
to he made by the plan proposed for out-door patients.
In reply to which a hope was expressed that the establish-
ment commencing, as it necessarily must, on a limited scale,
might in time be euabled•to extend relief to out-door pa-
tients; and the Committee would make a Report every three
months.

Mr. WHiThAw said, he did not solicit the patronage of the
public in aid of the proposed establishment, with any view
to private emolument, as his private practice was sufficiently
extensive to afford him foil employment but he was ti-
sirotts, under his own inspection, to combine regimen in aid
of cure with his Medical Remedy, and it was intended to form
the establishment on a regular system that shall instruct the
Poor how to escape the recurrence of the evil from which they
are relieved.
A letter was road from Henry Drummond, Esq. most hand-
somely offering his services in any way most beneficial to the
Charity ; when the unanimous wish of the meeting was ex-
pressed that that Gentleman be Treasurer.
A letter was also read front a Lady of Rank, who bad re-
ceived benefit herself, and had witnessed the effects of the
medicine on others, inclosing a donation of 211., and desiring
her name to be put down as an annual subscriber.
A very general and liberal subscription was made by the
Company present, and th-ey separated with expressions of
great satisfaction from the result of the meeting.
