MANSION-HO USE.

Two dentists, Mr. Madan, of Ludgate-hill, and Mr. Albert,
of Moorgate-street, were summoned before Sir Peter Laurie,
to answer the complaint of a lady of the name of Folkard, who
had dealt with them for teeth, The defendants did not at-
tend, as they considered the case to be out of the jurisdiction
of a Magistrate ; but Mr. Richards, a solicitor, represented
them. Air. Hobler, jun. attended for Mrs. Folkard.

Mrs. Folkard stated that having seen in a newspaper an ad-
vertisement about cheap teeth, to be had off M. Albert, of
No. 41, Moorgate-street, and being in want of a supply,
she called upon that dentist in June last, told him that she re:
quired the teeth for use and not ornament, and if they could
not be made useful, not to mind her mouth at all. He as-
sured her that he could accommodate her with teeth which
would prove as useful for the purposes of mastication and arti-
culation as the genuine growth of nature, and that 10 guineas
would be the charge. The bargain was made, and the
teeth were in due time produced and fitted into her mouth,
and she paid the demand. She was not, however, satisfied
with her newly-purchased mouthful, and she said so ; but Mr.
Albert assured her that when they were accustomed to her
mouth they would work pleasantly. Afterwards she employed
the same gentleman, upon his persuasion, to make another set
of teeth for her, for which she was to give fourteen guineas.
The new set proved to be gross misfits, and broke while in ac-
tive use in the corner of her jaw. Mr. Albert then said that
he would make her another set of a superior kind, for which
he must charge her twenty guineas, and he ultimately agreed
to let her have the third set,instead of the second, for 20/.145.,
which money she paid. The teeth, however, turned out quite
contrary to her expectation, and not only misfitted, but
lacerated her mouth, and she called frequently to
complain and to have the faults corrected. At last
Mr. Albert introduced her to Mr. Malian, whose
pupil he had been. Mr. Malian examined her mouth,
and said it was a difficult one "to fit up." She replied that
she slid not thick it was hard to fit her, amid he then took
out the tees.ll3,
looked at them; and said they were worth no-
thing, and that
;•oung persons did them so cheap that they
could not be ex ecten
he very good.
Sir PETE a LA U aIE—NV 1,;.:
! Mr. Malian objected to the
p
cheapness of the article ! Why he advertises the cheapest in
the world.--(A laugh. )
Mrs. Folkard said that such was the opinion Mr. Malian
uttered. He then looked into her mouth again, and pull,d it
about a good deal. She cautioned him against disturbing a
tooth which she had in her jaw, but instead of attending to
her requ, st he actually forced it out with his thumb.
Sir PETER LAURIE—What! he deprived you of the only
tooth you had of your own ?
Mrs. Folkard said she did not say it was the only tooth. At
all events, Mr. Maltau forced it out, and he then took a model
of her mouth, and told her that for another 100/. he would
make her a very superior set, which would last her for her life.
Sir P. LAURIE—One hundred pounds ! Is it possible ?
Mrs. Folkard said it was the fact. She said that she could
not afford such a sum, but he penuaded her to have the teeth,
as she wanted them for real use. He said that he would con-
sider the money she had already paid to Mr. Albert as a de-
posit. and allow bir it, otherwise he could not supvly them for
less than 1301. or 1401. He had, upon taking Mr. Albert's
new set of teeth out of her mouth, broken them in pieces as
useless. Upon subsequently calling at Mr. Malian s house,
that gentleman put the set of teeth he had agreed to make into
her month, and she paid him the hundred pounds in a fifty,
two twenty, and two five pound notes.
Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, how did these superior teeth answer?
Mrs. Folkard declared that they did not answer at all, but
were worse than Mr. Albert's, and Mr. Alallan wished her
very.much to take them home, but she would insist upon
a,,,: -h;cl
r 010.1 make her a called

in vain.
Sir P. LAURIE—.When did you pay Mr. Malian the money?

Mrs. Folkard said that she hal paid for them on the Oh of
August.
Sir P. LAURIE—Did you ever apply to him for the. money?
Mrs. Folkard replied that she never made any application of
the kind.
Sir P. LAURIE asked her whether she had a receipt for the
money? Mrs. Folkard said that Mr. Malian gave her aso
re
rt
of acknowledgment, but the amount was not stated in it.
wished him to specify the sum, but he said it was not his prac-
tice to do so.
Sir P. LAURIE—I happen to know the solicitor who at-
tends for Mr. Malian and Mr. Albert, and that he is a most
respectable man ; and lam convinced that he will interfere to
have justice done to you.
Mr. Richard; said that Mr. Malian was diQposed to slo every
thing that ought w be done 'in the case, and never had ob-
jected to complete his undertaking fur Mrs. Folkard ; but the
lady had been excessiveil troublesome, and had in an =get
tone threatened to make a complaint to the Lord Mayor on the
subject.
Mr. Hobler, jun., said that nothing could be more natural
than his client's complaint.
Sir P. L; URIE asked Mrs. Folkard whether she felt more
inconvenience from the high-priced teeth than from the other
teeth ? Mrs. Folkard—Much more. I took a crust to try, but
I could not swallow at all ; and I was pulled very severely about
the mouth. lam sure nobody would allay', such rough treat-
ment. You. have no idea how I was polled about by 31r•
Mr. Hobler, jun.—lt is not easy to get ladies to come for-
ward in cases of this kind, Sir Peter Laurie.
Sir P. &tutus—l know that perfectly well. It is emu'
dered a point of delicacy, and few would have the courage
which Mrs. Folkard has shown. I shall adjourn this ease
tiu
this day fortnight, and I hope I shall hear of an arrangement
through the mediation of the gentleman who atiWds on the
part of the dentists.
