This action was brought to recovr a penalty of
201., to which the defendant had rniered himself
liable by practising as an apathecar without the
requisite legal qualification. The face of the case
were perfectly clear, and the defendat wisely sub-
mitted to a judgment for the pealty and costs,
throwing himself upon the mercy d the company,
who with the leniency which always distinguishes
their proceedings under the statute of the 55th Geo.
111. (a statute by which they have very extensive
powers), have consented to give the derendant time to
pay the costs, and tr) let the judgment for 201. stand
as a security against any future offette by the de-
fendant, he having sta,ed his intentio: of duly quali-
fying himself and becoming a licentiat of the society.
Mr. Eyre, of Devereux court, Tempt,, appeared on
behalf of the llon. Society of Apotlwaries ; and the
defendant, whose only object was tomake the above
terms, appeared in person. It winbe remembered
that this application of the powers of the County
Courts to the recovery of penalties under this Act,
was suggested and carried into effec by the Medical.
Protection Society, No. 43, Lincln's Inn-fields ;
since the establishment of which sooty, and owing
to the co-operation of the Apothearies' Company
with them, the regular practitionersaave received an
amount of protection which they lave never before
obtained. This case excited a grea deal of interest
and the court was crowded with medial practitioners,
qualified and unqualified, who seemel somewhat dis-
appointed the cause did not come fully before the
Court.

[PRICE SD.

Sanitary Committee, was charged under the 11th and
12th Vict., cap. 123, sec. 16, with violating the direc-
tions of the Board of Health, issued in April last.
Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, who appeared on behalf
of the parish authorities of Whitechapel, accompanied
by Mr. Smith, solicitor to the parish, by whom the
proceedings had been instituted, said, though the case
might appear trifling, it was of the utmost importance,
more especially whilst the present epidemic prevai'ecl,
that the modes directed by the Board of Health for
abating all dangerous and offensive nuisances should
be adopted. When those rules were violated, and
more especially when they were violated by a person
holding such authority in his parish as the defendant,
it was necessary that an example should be made
The defendant was the owner of some houses in Rose-
court, Aldgate, in which four privies emptied them
selves into one cesspool, and by the negli-
gence of the defendant they were allowed
to become a most formidable nuisance. He
received notice of this from the proper officer,
and one man in the neighbourhood complained to him
of the injurious effect it had upon his wife's health,
but the defendant seemed to think that the law did
not apply to him, and when told that the board of
guardians would see to it, he courteously replied that
they might be —. The nuisance had been abated
by the parish, at an expense of 31., but the present
proceedings were for the penalty—not exceeding 61,
—imposed by the 16th section of the Act. Instead
of doing his duty by the public in abating a dan-
gerous nuisance, the defendant • chose rather to
expend his money in retaining a lawyer to meet this
charge.

Mi. John Parr, inspector of nuisances to White-
chapel parish, deposed to the filthy state of the privies,
the soil from which overflowed into the court. An
inquest was held on a person who died of cholera,
arising, as was believed, from the nuisance a few days
previously.
Mr. Pelham, after vainly attempting to throw a
doubt on the defendant's proprietorship, said their
was no use in troubling the court any further. He
would be the last to justify anything injurious to the
public health at a period like the present; and with
respect to the 3/. paid by the parish, his client had not
been sued for it. He would have to pay for the
abatement, and it was to be hoped that the parish
would not press for the penalty.
Mr: Ingham suggested an adjournment of the
summons, to allow an arrangement.
Mr. Bodkin wished for an adjudication for the
purpose of an example, even though the penalty were
only one shilling.
The defendant was ultimately fined 61s. and costs,
with an understanding that the fine should go to the
parish rates, for which the cost of abating the nui-
sance was paid.
