GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, li,sr Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT lILSTORED!—NER VOIDS HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!

Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
Its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oeultsts, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound. known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
or its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R.S. See J. B. Lichfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."-L—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of

To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye-Snuff.

Dec. , 15-10.

Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being
an swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all
kinds of Lotions, lout no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
I Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was
gr catly relieved befere I reached my home. I car. with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,

ACCIDENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT.—The following account of the alarming accident
which occurred to Prince Albert, in the gardens of Buck-
ingham Palace, on the morning of Tuesday last, may be
relied on :-It appears that his Royal Highness was walk.
ing in the Royal gardens, in the company of her Majesty,
the only attendant present being the Hon. Miss Murray,
one of the Maids of Honour in Waiting upon the Queen.
It riot being understood by Colonel Bouverie and Lieu-
tenant F. Seymour, the Equerry and Groom of the Bed-
chamber in Waiting upon the Prince, that Lis Royal High.
ness intended to skate that morning, they were not, as
usual, in attendance upon the Prince, who had left the
Palace with her Majesty without their knowledge.
After walking for a short time with the Queen
on the margin of the lake, his Royal Highness put
on his skates and left her M,jesty, who remained watch-
d)fintgb'e water's and had
ing the movements of the Prince from the gar-
dens. Ho had not been on the ice more than two or
three minutes, when, as he was proceeding at a rapid rate
n about spot whereaot
he o
ttlter:eQ uer four feetenwassta of
reacheds thatte
i th
edge, the ice suddenly broke, and, instantaneously, he was
immersed in the water. His Royal Highness immediately
rose to the surface, when her Majesty, with great presence
of mind, joined her hand to that of the Honourahle Miss
Murray (telling her to stand firm and betray no fear),
and, extending her right hand to that of the Prince,
dragged him to the shore. Iler M:tjesty manifested the
greatest courage upon the occasion, and acted with the most
intrepid coolness. As soon as the Prince was safe on dry
grous , the Queen gave way to the natural emotions of
Fay and thankfulness at his providential escape. The
Prince then lost no time in proceeding to the Palace,
where a warm bath was immediately prepared, and his
..Royal Highness, within an hour afterwards, was suffi-
cieetly well to receive the King of the Belgians upon his
Majesty's arrival froal Claremont. The ice in the centre
of the Lke being nearly a foot in thickness, some surprise
• has been crested that the accident should have occurred ;
but it appears that the keepers sappointed to attend to the
numerous and various aquatic birds which are preserved in
the gardens of the Palace, had broken the ice all along
the sides of the lake, to spable them to take the water dur.
ing the frost. These pfrtions had again become slightly
frozen over since they were broken at an early part of the
morning. This wail unknown to the Prince or the Queen,
and hence the accident occurred. There were, no persons
-present at the time, connected with the gardens, to poitlt
.ctit the danger to his R,,;-t. lirtlb"rst. Wfdnesdiy
•
Gua:'ll"g caeLta e.c a slight
cold; but beeond.this, Lip 4oyal tiightli;ss has sustained uo
inowtonience.

Mr. Wintsmas said that he thought, as he had acted as
one of the Justices up to within the last twelvemonths, it
would be as well that he should not take the chair.
It was ultimately arranged that Mr. Witham should act
as Chairman.
Mr. William having taken the chair,
The CLERK read from the minutes of the last Court
the motion of the Rev. 11. S. Trimmer, which was to the
effect that the Magistrates had read with regret the stro:!g
commendations bestowed on the mode of treatment of the
patients in the Itinwell Lunatic Asylum, in the Report of
the Visiting Justices, and of Dr. Conolly, the Superin-
tendant, as :t appeared that in various cases that treatment
had led to results which were most appalling.
Sir JOIIN Scorr LILLIE wished to know what was to be
the course of proceeding.
The CHAIRMAN imagined that as on •the last occasion
the statement of Mr. Trimmer had been read, ane as the
magistrates had adjourned for the purpose of affording an
opportunity to the Visiting Justices to meet that statement,
the counter statemerat of those gentlemen could now be
read the first thing.
J S. LILLIE bed proposed an amendnient on that
occasion ; he wished to know whether they would proceed
to the discussion of that amendment now.
The CHAIRNIAN thought the proper course would be to
hear the answer of the Visiting Justices first. 1.
Sir J. S. LILLIE gave notice that 33 soon a.§. that state-
meiit should hire beep made, he should
,prOyese his
amendment
before the meeting. • ,

Mr. Tt'LK then! rose for the purpose of Malting the
counter statement on behalf of the Visiting Justices; atter
expressing the embarrassment which he had flt oa hear-
ing the grace accusiaiiins which the Rev. Gentleman had
brought forward on the sth February against the manage-
ment of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, , he saicl that
he felt confident that the Visiting Justices from the
great attention which they had paid to the Asylum,
were authorised in stating that the management scat infi-
nits ly better now than it had hem in the time,of Sr Wil-
liam Ellis or Dr. Millengcn. The cases brought forward
by the Rev. Gentleman were appalling, not only from
their character, but from their number, for I;e'had brought
forward no Ices than 128 cases of what he denominated
mismanagement er cruelty, and these cases had been
brought forward for the purpose of endeavouring to show
that all the rations abuses which the Rev. GenAman
complained of had been caused entirely by the absence of
restraint; 112 of these cases he had brought fOrward on the
auth,:rity of Dr. Button, late Assistant-Surgeon at the
Institution ; and sixteen which he had stated had failen

under his okervation. Before proceeding to inves-
tigate these ease!, he would remind the Court that during
the time Sir William Ellis had held the offiee of Superiu-
tendent, a more humtnc method of treatment: ad been in-

troduced into the Asylum, and that the restraint
under which the patients had previously been placed,
had been much mitigated. When Dr. Millenger
succeeded to Sir William Ellis, the system had-suf-
fered much deterioration. Dr. Millengen had been a
military surgeon, and sought to introduce a system of
military diseipline into the system which led to constant
disputes between himself and his subordinates. He had
also introduced a harsher system of treatment as regarded
the patients ; the restraints were multiplied, and the co-
ercion increased. When, in consequence of the disagree-
ments which had taken place, the Visiting- Jus ice felt
compelled to recommend Dr. Milliegen to retire,
they almost unanimously elected Dr. Conolly as
his sum esor, a gentleman of the highest character,
and who had been designated by many most eminent medical
authorities an honour to his profession, and to any institu-
tion with which he might be connected. Dr. Condi) had
iatroduccd another sa stem ; he gradually felt that much of
the restraint employed by Dr. Millengen might advan-
tageously be removed, and at last reason and experience
bad convinced him that restraint, generally speaking, might
altogether be abolished. In carrying cut his humane
views, however, he had met with serious difficulties.
The system of restraint had been a great relief to keepers
and nurses, who were consequently opposed to any system
likely to give them more trouble. But there was even a
greater difficulty to be encountered then even their oppo.
sition. Dr. Conolly had, unfortunately, for his Assistant
a gentleman who, although he had at one time effacted to
become a cenvert to Dr. Conolly's plan, was yet its secret
enemy—(Hear, hear)—he meant Dr. Button, who, since
he had left the Institution, had shown himself in his true
colours. Another most serious obstacle had arisen
from the conduct cf the Reverend Gentleman
who had come forward as accuser on the present
eccasion. That Rev. Gentleman had been ore of theVihing
Justices of the institution, and after he had cr. aged to be so
he had contented his visits, althougle 'Mot int the same time
with the other Jestices. At these times he had held commu-
anee•mn with Dr. 13utton, and the present charges were
the ts of those communications. Dr. Button lied acted
di:lnjenuou.dy, both as regarded Dr. Conolly and the
Visiting Jus ices. Ile had been in the habit of keeping
two journals, one en official one, to be laid before his su.
periers, and the other a secret one, recording, for the
benefit of the Rev. Gentleman, his particular view of
the several cases, and which was the one which
had been made use of on the present occasion. Now he
would put it to every one who heard him whether:such con-
duct ought to pass uncensured. These journals differed
materially from each other, and he had induced the Rev.
Gentleman to become his organ on that occasion, and to
bring forward these cases of alleged abuse. Now if Dr.
Button had really believed these cases to have been cases
of abuse, it was his duty to the patients to have made
them public at once. He did not think that Dr.
Button really considered them so, because, if
be had looked back to the time of Sir W.
Ellis aid Dr. Millengen, he would have fiend
many cases then occuring of precisely a similar nature
unthr the system of restraint, and which had then and
always been considered as the inevitable conscepences of
insanity. If, therefore, such was the case, the charge
brought forward that those accidents had been ceensioned
by the want of restraint fell at once to the ground. The
first class of cases were the suicidal ones, amount-
ing in ninb,m to three. Now, from the cases so brought
forty rd, as cases, of suicide attempted or committed
in consequence cf the absence of all restraint the Court
would nirturally imagine that restraint was' a perfect pro-
phylactic; they would not expect to find that any suicides
were committed whilst persons were .under restraint—such,
however, was constantly the case. The first case brought
forward cf attempted suicide was the case of William Ar-
nold, who had been admitted Nov. 23, 1832, and had been
almost constantly under restraint. This patient had
sharpened the handle of a tin can in the night, and had
attempted to cut his throat with it. The date
of this attempt had been most dexterously
omitted in the charge, had it been given it would have
been that tlis had occurred 24th August, 1838, long
anterior to Dr. Conolly's appointment, and at a time when
the man himself was actually under restraint, and the
system of restraint was in full operation. The next case
was that cf Christopher Latime, who had been discharged
cured— who, while an inmate of the Asylum had never
exhibited any symptoms of a suicidal tendency, but
who a moreh after his discharge, had held a relapse
and had then committed suicide. Now, surely
.it
could never be intended to bring forward a matter of
charge against Dr. Conolly that he had not foreseen that
after his discharge the man would have relapse; but even
had he foreseen it would have been contrary to law to keep
the man in the asylum after he had been cured. Dr.
Begly had given it his opinion that the man at the time of-
his discharge was perfectly cured. The next case was
that of Fanny A)toch,
Mr. SERJEANT HALCOME rose to order; he had under-
stood that the case of Fanny Ayton had not been brought
forward by the Rev, gentleman on that occasion.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said the case of Fanny Ayton
had been distinctly alluded to at the Michaelmas Sessions,
Rcv. H. S. TRIMMEft had not yet brought it forward as
one of the cases on which he founded his motion.

After a discussion on the point of order, in which Mr.
lkottEs HUGHES. Mr. -LAURIE, Sir J. S. LILLIE, and
several other Magistrates took part, and in which almost
all the speakers expressed their regret at the personal cha-
racter which the justification of the Visiting Justices was
assuming.

Mr. toLa said that as the case of Fanny Alton had
not been brought forward as' a charge he would abstain
from rucking any further allusions to it. The next class
of cases to which the Rev. Gentleman bad referred were
what had been called the eonc-floor cases, in which the pa-
tients had stripped themselves, and thrown the.msclves upon
the colOstenes. The first case was that ofJoseph Ly e, who hal
been adnitted in August, 1840, and who had Leen seen by
Dr. Button during the absence of Dr. Begby, the other
assistant. The patient was a man of great muscular
power. From the private journal it appeared that he was
noisy, ungovernable—that he tore off his clothes and the
dressings which were applied to .the various ulcers he had
on his body--that his habits were so filthy that his room
was obliged to be changed four or five times a-day, and
that he conticued in this state until the 7th Dcc., when
he died. Now Dr. Bcgby stated in answer to this that
the patient was the worst patient in the house—that he
had several ulcers on his body, and a large
carbuncle on the glutmus muscle, which pre-
vented li, sitting or lying down; that had h g
been put under restraint he would have been
dead much sooner, and that for three or four weeks before
his death he had been constantly in bed. Now it had been
charged in this case that the patient was constantly lying
partly in bed and partly on the floor.
Rev. 11. S. TRIMMER—When he was shown to me lie
was lying partly on a mat and partly on the floor.

.
TuLn—llyatt, the keeper, states that. the statement as
to his room being changed four or five times daily is incor-
rect, and it ai:pcared from the statements of others that he
wes a man of such great muscular power, that he coula
have torn a straight waistcoat. The next cane was that cf
W. Bish9p Hardy, admitted in 1839. It appeared from
Dr. Button's first journal, and from the statements of
one of the keepers who had sil:ce left the As' lure, having
been sent tor, with sc,rne others, by Dr. Buttc:n to the in.
stitution in Dorsetshire, which was now under his superin-
tendence, but this man had been in the habit of stripping

himself naked and lying all night on the cold stones; of
knocking himself about, in consequence of which his body
was black and blue from the bruises be had received ;
that he never remained five minutes in bed ; and that he
was naked day and night. Now nothing of that statement
epee trod in Dr. Button's public journal, in which, bad any
such circumstances occurred, it was his bounden duty to
have recorded them. Now Norman, the infirmary keeper,
denied. this exaggerated statement of Dr. Button. He
sa3s the man once fell out of bed and cut his forehead, but
in so trifling a manner that Dr. Button did not mention it
in his book. In the private journal, however, It was stated
that he bad cut his head open; and it appeared from the
statement of Norman that it was only occasionally that the
men got out of bed, so that the case was greatly exagge-
rated. The next case was that of Harriet Andrews, who
had been an inmate of the Asylum twelve years. It ap
peared that she had a paroxysm of insanity on 12th May
which lasted till August. Now it was stated in the pri-
vate journal under the date August 3, that she threw her-
self about her room, and stripped herself stark naked ; not
a word about it, however, appeared in the public journal.
Ho mentioned that to show the candour of keeping two
journals, one so much at variance with the other. Miss
Powell, the matron, had been examined as to the ease of
Harriet Andrews, and she stated that in Dr. Millingen's
time Harriet Andrews had always been under restraint at
night, and almost always during the day ; that while un-
der restraint she was always violent; that since she bad
been taken out of restraint a marked improvement had
taken place in all her symptoms. That in consequence
of the restraint to 'which she had been subjected, she
had lost the use of her hands, which she was now gradu-
ally recovering. It had been brought forward as a grave
matter of charge in this ease, that seven nurses had been
required to put Andrev,'s into a bath. lisw this charge
was most extraordinary—that seven nurses had been em-
ployed in order to prevent violence. Why, if seventeen
nurses had beer. necessary to prevent violence, seventeen
nurses ought to have keen employed ; but the fret was,
that the bath-room would not actually hold seven psraons.
It would seem te.2.,n that statement that a spirit of exag-
'Tat:ration ran ilenssegiPlttra4l4ie:CT-Ajto charges., , It was
said that patients were allowed to stsu4 on'the cold stones,
when the fact was there was ti 6 such thing in the n hole
Institution, for Mr. Wilson could have informed the lien.
Gentleman that the whole of the building was hated by
botwater pipes, running underneath the floors. The next
class of uses were these where the patients were said to
eat their own filth and the poultices; and the first was
Emily Johnston, a patient admitted on the 13th October,
1839, and died on the 15th May, 1840. She was incohe-
rent in her language and manner, bad general paralysis,
and had frequent falls when walking. Now, with respect
to that person and others of the same class, it might be
truly said that they came into the hospital but to die. They
were paralytic cases, and among the worst ones were refusal
of food and disordered appetites, and Emily Johnston was
one of these cases. She was admitted into the Infirmary
on the 3d of April, and was observed by the Chaplain and
nurses to bite her flesh and eat it. She was also stated to
be in the habit of pinching and scratching her flesh, and
the case was brought forward to slew the inefficiency of
the system of non-restraint, inasmuch as it did net pre-
vent the patients doing injury to themselves, and committing
disgusting acts.—(Hear, hear.) Added to that there was
a charge that the system was expensive to the county at
large, inasmuch as it was alleged that there was
a greater quantity of glass broken and clothing
destroyed, and on the whole it went to show tbo
superiority of the system of restraint. Now, with
respect to the case, the evidence of the matron, Miss
Powell, was, that in May, 1840, the chaplain, Mr. Tib-
butts, had asked her if it would not be more humane to
put Emily Johnston under restraint than to have her bite
herself. She then saw the patient, who had a sore on her
wrist, and lied her nails very lung. She bound up the
wrist with a linen rag, cat her nails, and put on a bed-
gown with long sleeves, instead of one with short sleeves,
which she was in the habit of wearing, and sewed up the
sleeves over her hands. The result was that the patient
made no further attempts to bite or injure herself.—
(Hear, hear.) When the matron asked ashy the case
had nut been reported to her in time, the reply was
that Dr. Button knew of it, but he had never attempted
to remedy it. Now be asked whether that was fair, or
honest, or honourable conduct on his part ? It would
seem as if he was far more anxious that these cases
should occur for the purpose of founding a charge
on them, than that they should be prevented. Ia
Dr. Button's public journal there was a statement that
the patient bit her flesh, but he suggested no remedy.
The Court would observe that there was only one place in
Dr. Button's public journal in which it was said that sho
bit and cat her flesh. That case was subsequently in-
vestigated before the Committee, when Mr. Tibbutts, the
chaplain, stated that he had seen several bites on her arms:;
he asked Dr. Button why she was net restrained from
putting her arms to her mouth, and his reply was that
he was not allowed to do that. She used to
eat her poultices arid other filth. During all
the time Dr. Button knew of the patient acting
in that way, without informing the matron or others
of it, he was a party to the injury the unfortunate woman ,
was inflicting on herself. Dr. Button was the assistant
surgeon of the institution, and it was his duty to state the
matter in order that it might be prevented for the future.
Mr. Ilecnst rose to order. He thought it very unfair
to Dr. Button, who was absent, to make such comments
upon his conduct.

Mr. TCLK vindicated his right to rcfcr to Dr. Button's
conduct, inasmuch as all the charges nom brought for-
ward bytlw gentleman.

The CIIATIMAN thought the matter could not well be
investigated without some reference to Dr. Button.
Mr. Tut.K resurr( d—Thc next case was that of Elizs-
beth Campbell, who came in November 1639, and died in
July 1840. The charge in Dr. Button's private journal
with reference to that patient, was, that she used to eat
any filth she could lay her hands on. He had ascer-
tained that in the same class of patients in every
large institution the same propensity es obierved, and
the matron regretted that she had not heard of it in time,
as she could have prevented it by making the patient wear
a partieuhr kind of dry:tr.
Mr, lIUGHES—That is restraint.

Mr. Tui.K.—lt might be t-o in the !Fn. Gentleman's
opinion, but it was of a very slight description. What he
complained of wan that Dc. Button was throughout more
anxious to get up cases than to assist the other medical
men in applying a remedy.
Mr. Iloanss object(d to their frequent references to an
absent individual. Why not bring a dii cet charge against
Dr. Button at once ?

Mr. TuLKE---I do bring a charge against him.
Mr. liot:rn regretted very much to hear the statement
made by the 1103. Gentleman in They were
there to hear the statement of the Committee, and their
answer to these a'.legationg, and he trusted his own good
feeling wculd prevent him from proceeding in such a
manner.

! CHAIRMAN did not think Dr. Batton was entitled
to much indulgence at the handy of the Magistrates. It
was most improper in him to have kept a public and a
private journal containing- different statements .*--( Hear.)
Mr. '['use then referred to the cases of inanition, in
which it was alleged that patients were permitted to sink
gradually without city attempt to administer food, which he
contended was fully justified by the circumstances of the case.
The neat canes were those of the improper application of
shower baths. One patient who had struck the matron in
the face, and had refused to express her regret, had had
the shower bath applied. Her hands and feet were secured,
and it was continued till the patient was led away pale
and tremb'ing. Now, with respect to shower baths
generally, he would observe that both Dr, Conolly
and Esquirol, the celebrated French physician, had
stated that nothing could be better than the
application of the shower bath when the patient was in a
state of excitement. la fact, some patients were glad of
the application, and they were never applied without the
authorit; cf the surgeon. It was alleged that one patient,
Sarah Chambers, had had four baths in one day, but
although there were four baths discharged on her, sheonly
received one bath, as she had etruegled and escaped on other
occasions. Now where there was a difference between the
entries in the public and private journals with respell, to
the offence for ,vhich the patient was punished withNihe
shower-bath, it appeared to him enough to show the animus
of the party making it ; and such was the case with re-
foam, to more than one cf the female patients. The next
class were assaults by patients upon nurses, and upon one
another. It was generally to be observed that when patients
assaulted nurses the nurses were in fault, for they argued
with and irritated the patients—that of course was to be
expected from the class of persons from whom the nurses
were taken, and although the greatest pains had beer. taken
to introduce a different mode of proceeding, he regretted
to sly they were not in every instance seconded by the
efforts of their medical officers.—( Hear, hear.) The first
of these cases was that of Eliza Williams, a very powerful
woman, who was the terror of all the nurses. April 23, the
charge was that she slept in a room with an unglazed win-
dow, and was found in the morning very violent, and knock-
ing out bricks. Now it appeared that Dr. Conolly had
previously noticed, in terms of reproof, the circumstance
of the windows being unglazed, but he complained that so
far from Dr. Button having made a representation of that
to Dr. Cottony, he had merely mentioned it to the chap-
lain.
A MAGISTRATE said, there were several charges

Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said the en' ry in Dr. Button's
public journal cf that date 'vas, very violent, the shower

TUI-liE said the next class was epileptic patients,
and the inference to be drawn from Dr. Button's remarks
Upon them was, that if they had been placed •
unr...er
restraint they would not hurt themselves in the manner
they did—there were not less than sixty female epi-
leptic patients in the hospital, and in the course of
eighteen months there had been ouly thirty-four cases of
seeldent—na two in the month. He
would new come to
the Rev. Mr. Trimmer's observations, and the first was
with regard to a fmalo patient named Brown, whose fore-

In answer to Rev. Mr. Trimmer, Air. TuLx said he
had heard that statement from Mr. Wilson.

Mr. HUGHES said the nurses ought instantly to be dis-
missed. It was most disgraceful conduct.
A M AGISTRATE —Surely, after the statement that has
just been made by Mr. Tulk, it will be admitted that come
inquiry is necessary.
The Hon. Gentleman read from the Report of Dr. But-
ton in 1839, in order to show that restraint was then, in
his opinion, absolutely necessary.
Mr. H. Hennas said that three hours bad already been
wasted; holy long did the Hon. Gentleman intend to go on?
Mr. TULE said the duty had been cast opon
him—it was too laborious to be taken up volun-
tarily ; but the Committee bad heard all the charges
against the present system—would they then deny the
Visiting Justices the power of making such a defence as
they thought necessary ?
Mr. H. HUGHES —By going at such length, you prevent
the possibility of any reply to your statements..
Mr. Tux —ln fairness you must allow me to answer
the charges made against us in the best ma9ner I can.
am Esry to detain yen so long; but your pre-tete. dings have
renuered it necessary, and your interruptions only entail
upon me the necessity of going more at length into the
cases. The Hon. Gentleman went ioto the details of
many cases in order to show that the present system of
non-restraint had been productive of great and good re..
sults. He felt bound to say that the visits of the
Reverend gentleman to Hanwell did much mischief.
He went among the nurses and the wardsmen and created
much ill-will by the frivoulous complaints so got up against
the Visiting Justices, who were honestly doing their heavy
ard responsible duty. The Rev. Gentleman must either
oe made a Visiting Justice, or in delicacy he must abstain
from his visits; or the only alternative was, that the Justices
nominated to visit the Asylum must give up their charge.
Sir J. S. Ltooto was of the same opinion now that he
was three weeks ago, that it was impossible the public
mind would be satisfied without a full inquiry being entered
into by Justices who were entirely independent of the par-
ties on both sides. It was impossible that the Justices at
large should consent to tax their constituents for an
expetiment the value of which they were unable to find
out without a full and free inquiry. Even the cases
pointed sot by the Chairman of the Visiting Justice's
did not prove the correctness of the Report which
bad been sent round by that body they- did not
prove that non-coercion had been of any benefit. The
worthy Knight read a letter he had received from Dr.
Button, denying that it was either kind or humane
to allow insane patients to do as they pleased.
Restraint in many cases was absolutely necessary.
By means of restraint many patients had been brought
to health and reason, who without it must have
died. In his opinion it was as practicaMe to abolish
medicine from our hospitals as to take away the means of
coersion from our lunatic asylums. He, therefore, thought
the Rev. Gentleman was right in bringing the cases before
the Court, and be trusted the Court would grant a corn-
mitten of enquiry. He would, therefore, move that a
comm.ttee be appointed to inquire into the complaints made
by the Rev. Mr. Trimmer.
Mr. H. HUGHES had much pleasure in seconding the
motion ; be was a warm friend of the non-coercion system,
but he would begin to doubt the soundness of his opinions
if the Ccert should decide that it could not bear inspection.
Mr. WILSON thought inquiry was absolutely necessary,
but he thought it should be by some tribunal from
which the Justices of Middlesex ought to be ex'..
eluded, or otherwise party spirit would enter tog _
strongly into the enquiry. He admitted the principle
of non-coercion, but he could not help thinking that it had
been carried too far. What he would suggest was, that
they should get one of their county Members to get a
Committee of the House of Commons, where the inquiry
would he conducted in the beat spirit and manner. An
inquiry they must bare, and he thought the tribunal he
suggested was the proper one."
Mr. Scrgeaat ADAMS was happy to hear the sentiments
of the Hon. Magistrate—no gentlemen were more anxious
to have proper inquiry than the fifteen gentlemen who had
been notninated as Visiting Justices—they were most
anxious for inquiry, but let it be by a proper tribunal—
they would never suhmit to be superintended by any Com-
mittee of their brother Magistrates. After going at length
into several cases alluded to by the complainants,
Ire entreated the Court- to grant the system of
Dr. Conolly the fair trial of a few months, and
if it did not then satisfy them let them alter it.
The Visiting Justices were most anxious that there
should be an inquiry, but let it be a public one. Since
his :pet ch in October, the fetters had been struck off
more than half the lunatics throughout the country, and he
thanked God that he had made it, for be had not the slightest
doubt that the humane system would restore many persons
to their reasoning Leulties. He implored the Magistrates
that they would not appoint any superintending Com-
mittee, but let them go, one and all, and demand a Par-
liamentary inquiry into all the asylums of the county.
The debate was then adjourned till Tuesday next.

SOCIETY OF LICENSED VIC-

TUALLERS.

The forty-seventh anniversary of this Society took place
cn :Wednesday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street.
The great Room of the Tavern being inadequate to the
nccommodation of the company which assembled on the
occasion, two other legs rooms were appropriated to the
use of the society. The Governor of the Society (Mr.
Lancaster) took the chair. The cross table was occupied
by the Committee and past officers of the Corporation.
The gallery was filled with ladies, ri4pa appeared to take a
lively interest in the proceedings.
After the usual loyal toasts the Secretary read a Report
cf the rise and progress of this Society to the peseta
time. To exhibit in a few words a general estimate of the
extensive benefits emanatirg from the Society of Licensed
Victuallers, it will be sufficient to state that, from its es.
tablishment to Christmas last, the sums distributed from its
funds for chat liable purposes arc as follow, viz. :
From the Permanent Fund £llo.ol-1 13 S

From the Subscriptioa Fund 94 614 10 9
From the Charity Box 3,527 9 6

Grand Tutal £208,156 13 11

" The Governor," " the Governor Elect," arid " the
Trustees of the Incorporated Society of Licensad Victual-
lers," were drank with all due honour, and suitable
speeches made in acknowledgment.
Mr BLEADEN 0101 proposed the health of " The Editor,
S.eretary, and other Gentlemen on the establishment
cf the Morning Adue.rtiscr." 'The Editor of the Morn-
ing Advertiser, he said, conducted that paper accord-
ing to his own views; and he did so ably, satifac-
torily, and profitably ; and therefore was be entitled to
their applause. Of their Secretary he could not speak
too highly—his services were equally invaluable and
remitting. And there were other Gentlemen connected
with the establishment, who, though not so O'ACII Met,
tien2d as the head of it, still rendered efficient and valuable
services. They were under great obligations to them for
the devotion of their minds, talents, and strength, to the
advancement of that excellent Journal.
The SECRETART ( Mr. Blake) returned thanks, and the
meeting shcrtly after broke up.

THE FACTORY ACT.—Yesterday(Wednesday)

reents of the Factory Act. In nearly all the cases a con-
