BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To 31r. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847,

" Stn,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain • and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tl'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

"QPECIAL CUSTOMERS."
.7 Full many a staff has recently been borne
By special constables, all duly sworn.
Thousands, and tens of thousands, it appears,
Have loyally appeared as volunteers.
Persons of every station, nothing loath,
Have willingly agreed to take the oath;
And who would not at such a time as this,
Aid to protect the great metropolis ?
But what have special constables to do
With MOSES' dress establishment, say you ?
I take the hint, and hearing what you've said,
Will touch on special customers instead.
The special customers of MOSES' Mart
Are flocking in, in crowds, from every part.
Great as the constables in numbers are,
These special customers are greater far.
MOSES and SON, as every one admits,
Have ever rendered special benefits.
Their new spring garments, specially designed,
Are fashioned here, exactly to your mind.
MOSES and SON your special notice call,
To articles which bear no fault at all :
Coats, Trowsers, Vests, adapted to the day,
And summer Over-coats, in rare display ;
Which, with the Hosiery, and outfits, too,
Bring special customers each hour to view.
Your favours, then, on MOSES' Mart confer,
Nor fail to be a special customer.

M One half the world aro desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, sad miscalculated hopes em-
titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tin-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour end justicedernasid that health should form an item
in the compact.; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

tutor) that I have known Mr. Alabaster for many
years, and that I would have no objection to trust him
with hundreds or thousands. I have bad considerable
losses in consequence, and I never wrote anything of
the kind, nor authorised anybody to write such a thing.
The prisoner Alabaster admitted to me some time after-
wards,.when I questioned him upon the subject, that he
knew the letter was not mine, and he said the signature
was the writing of Brooks, the other prisoner, and that
he thought he could take the liberty with me to get
that person to write a recommendatory letter in my
name.

The 'LORD MAYOR said that if the prosecutor could
produce no other evidence, there could be no ground for
detaining the prisoners.
The prisoners said the charge was a mere ruse to get
them into the hands of sheriff's officers, who were wait-
ing about to arrest them, and Alabaster requested that
his Lordship would remand him, in order that he might
get out of the way of so unfair a mancenvre.
The LORD MAYOR said he had nothing to do with the
authority of any sheriff's officers, and could not think of
interfering with the liberty of the prisoners, by sending
them back to gaol, when there was no evidence against
them upon which he would be justified in remanding
them.
The moment it was found that the Lord Mayor was
determined to discharge the prisoners, a sheriff's officer
collared Alabaster, and proceeded to pull him from the
bar. Alabaster resisted, and loudly appealed to the Lord
Mayor, who declared that he would not quietly endure
such a violation of the dignity of a court in which the
chief magistrate sat to administer justice, and commanded
that decency should be observed.
Mr. Humphreys, on the part of his client, Alabaster,
then charged the sheriff's officer with having committed
an assault upon him, and stated that the case of for-
gery had been got up merely for the purpose of grab
bing the men for a debt; and that a
person who was
brought before a magistrate compulsory and discharged
was entitled to protection for- a reasonable time on his
•
return home.

The LORD MAYOR said he would take the evidence of
Alabaster as to the assault. His Lordship accordingly
heard the evidence, and bound the sheriff's officer in the
sum of 101. in his own recognizances to appear to answer
the charge.
Alabaster, upon retiring a second time from the
justice-room, was, it appeared, arrested by the follower
of the sheriff's officer, and again loudly appealed to the
Lord Mayor, who directed that the person who was com-
plained against as having violated the peace on the per-
son of Alabaster should be brought before him.
The follower was then accused of a breach of the peace
as well as his principal, and bound over in the same
amount on the same conditions. _ _ _

Immediately after the case was decided upon,
Seymour, the second prisoner, was detained upon a
charge of having stolen a clock, the property of Mr.
James Holloway, of No. 128, Minories. The evidence,
which showed a clear case of swindling, was then gone
into, and the prisoner was committed for the robbery,
and the City Solicitor was directed to prosecute.

Mr. Thomas Roberts,- the landlord of the Globe beer-
shop, No. 72, Fore-street, was brought before Mr. Al-
derman Moon, charged with being concerned with a man
(not yet in custody) in defrauding Mr. Andrew Ander-
son, of the Crooked Billet, Tower-hill, of three gallons of
Hollands, value IL 19s.
Mr. Heritage, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Alexander Payne stated that he was in the service of
the prosecutor, and went, at his master's desire, with the
spirits in question, accompanied by some man. On their
arrival at the prisoner's house, the man entered first.
and he afterwards. The first thing the man did was to
call for a pint of half-and.half, and he then asked Mrs.
Roberts how she did, and shook hands with her ; after
which he inquired if her husband was at home, and she
replied in the affirmative, at the samd time calling
him. They whispered together for a short time, and
the man and witness went into a little room at
the back, leaving the two jars of spirits in a small
inclosure in front of the bar, and leaving the prisoner
and his wife in the latter place. The half-and-half being
drank, the man left the room, and began again whisper-
ing to the prisoner, and from a little window he observed
them both remove the spirits, and place it in some recess
behind the bar. He came out and asked the prisoner for
the money, upon which he said that he bad not left any
there, and that he must be out of his mind. Before he
left the man told him, in the presence of Roberts, to go
back for another gallon, as three would only be wanted
instead of four. He then remarked to the landlord (Mr.
Roberts), " You will not pay any one but me ;" and he
said, " Very well." When he returned with the third
gallon he was met by the man and a female, whom he
called his wife. The former took the spirits and handed
it to the woman, who entered the prisoner's house, and
directly barite out empty handed, the man at the same
time attempting to induce him to go to a public-house
close at hand and get something to drink. Ile went
and demanded of the prisoner the amount of the spirits,
upon which the latter turned round, denied that any
had been left there, and threatened to send him to the
station-house.

Mr. Heritage cross-examined the witness at great
length, to show that there was another man with a car-
penter's basket, sitting :where the spirits had been left,
and that he might have decamped with it ; but the
witness, although he admitted there was a man so
described, yet he still persisted in his statement that he
distinctly saw the prisoner and the individual who was
with him put the spirits in a recess behind the bar.
Alderman MOON thought there was sufficient evidence
to remand the prisoner, and he would take bail for his
appearance on Thursday next, himself in the sum of
1001., and two sureties of 501. each.
The required bail being put in, he was discharged.
WORSHIP-S7'REE7'.
Mrs. Sarah White, carrying on the business of a
horse-slaughterer, in North street Whitechapel,
ap-
peared before Mr. Hammill, upon a'n information exhi-
bited at the instance of the authorities of the London
Hospital, in which she was charged with permitting a
quantity of noxious and offensive matter to accumulate
upon her premises, which was calculated to be seriously'
detrimental to the health of tho surrounding
neigh-
bourhood.

Mr. John Thornton, a surgeon in atttendance at the
hospital, stated that on the 18th ult. he accompanied one
of the other medical officers of that, institution, and In-
spector Waller, to the defendant's premises, which
consisted, amongst other places, of a large shed, where
they found portions of slaughtered horses lying about,
and a quantity of liquid matter in a stagnant state, of
the most offensive description. They also observed a
mass of refuse animal matter in various stages of de-
composition and putrefaction, which emitted a foetid and
overpowering effluvium, calculated to produce the most
pernicious effects upon the health of the surrounding
district, most densely populated, and to permeate the
wards of the hospital, which was only 150 yards distant.
Mr. S. Jessop Birch, one of the medical officers of the
hospital, gave a precisely similar description of the nui-
sance, and stated that it frequently occurred that in the
case of patients who were admitted into the institution
suffering from compound fractures, and who were
going
on favourably, a violent reaction would suddenly occur,
and erysipelas supervene,
in consequence of their expo-
sureq to the noxious state of the atmosphere, arising from
the decomposed matter and other nuisances which
abounded in the neighbourhood. The witness further
added, that it had been indisputably ascertained in the
course of the sanitary investigations which had been
carried on in that quarter, that one half of the pauper
population were constantly affected with fever, produced
in a great measure by the miasma incessantly exhalin,g,
from the premises of the numerous bone-boilers, horse-
slaughterers, and others of a like description which
existed in that locality.
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, complained
of the hardship of such a prosecution being instituted
against a person who was regularly licensed under an
Act of Parliament to carry on the business, and con-
tended that the evidence did not go far enough to bring
her within the meaning of the statute.
The Solicitor for the prosecution said that he was not
e s
instructed to press fora severe judgment in this instance,
as their only object was to effect an immediate and total
abatement of the nuisance.

a manner which would be prejudicial to the public health;
but, under all the circumstances, should suspend his
decision for a fortnight, and direct the inspector to visit
the premises in the interim, and take care that the offen-
sive matter was thoroughly removed.
There was a second summons against Mr. John Smith,
a bone boiler, residing next door to the first defendant,
which was also adjourned for a like period, and upon
similar conditions.
