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

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

sta,—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 Fills. 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 ti-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.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe

pressed open the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine.

PECIAL CUSTOMERS."
ky 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 sot 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.

in One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
comprosimg 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 and justicedensand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little

refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hinders'
oy misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
then. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
.litle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate--to do unto others as he
would he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be bad of

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMPENSATION, April 18.
(Before C. B. STUTFIELD, Esq. (chairman), C. S.
BUTLER, zEsq., W. IlowanD, Esq., and J. H.

BLACK, Esq.)
A special session was this day holden at the Court
house, Osborn-street, Whitechapel, for the hearing of
the various claimants for compensation for damages sus-
tained by their shop windows being broken, and other
demolitian of property, by the late riotous mobs that
assembled on the Bth of March last.

The parties present to substantiate their claims were
Mr. Turner, tobacconist, Whitechapel-road; Mr. Plump-
ton, linen-draper, and Mr. Salisbury, straw bonnet
manufacturer, of the same place; and Mr. Robert Dodd,
of high-street, Whitechapel, chemist.
The proceedings had been instituted under the 7th
and Bth George IV. The case of Mr. Turner was first
called on, which he conducted in person.
Mr. Turner proceeded to show that on the day named.
after the mob bad left the Chartist demonstration in
Trafalgar-square, a number of them appeared in the
neighbourhood of his residence, and at about seven
in the evening, having been joined by other disreputable
characters, they commenced demolishing his windows
and those of his neighbours, and committing other acts
of violence, occasioning thereby a serious pecuniary loss
and much alarm and terror. His claim would be limited
to 51., and he contended that the 7th and Bth of George
IV., cap. 31, clearly gave him compensation to that ex-
tent against the hundred.
Witnesses having been called to prove the attack and
injury,

The worthy CnAIRMAN said that the Court could but
express great sympathy on the case, it having been ex-
pressed by different law authorities that no compensation
could be granted in the absence of direct felony being
established, the words of the Act being "feloniously
demolished."

The other gentlemen then said, as that was the opi-
nion, or rather the decision of the Bench, they would not
take up the time of the Court unnecessarily, and they
thanked the magistrates for their courtesy and sympathy.
They, however, were certain that if due precaution, as
on a late occasion, had been taken, no such tumult and
disaster would have ensued.
Mr. Dodd remarked, that as Acts of Parliament were
so easily crept out of, he should resign his office as
special constable, with a determination to protect his
property to the best of his power.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
yesterday, James Seymour, alias Brooks, and Samuel
West Alabaster, were brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having committed a forgery.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for Alabaster. There was
no solicitorlor the prosecution.

Mr. Hicks, of Philpot-place, Philpot lane, and of
White Lion-street, plumber and painter, stated that he
had accused Alabaster, who had previously gone by the
name of West, of having committed a forgery by
signing his (flicks's) name to a letter of recommendation
of himself, so as to procure credit fur the party so re-
commended.

The Ion') Aaron desired the prosecutor to state
accurately the particulars of the accusation, and at the
request of the prisoner directed that the witnesses should
withdraw until called for.
The prosecutor said that unfortunately the gentleman
who had the It•tier in which the n!,,ate hart hecn inserted
was nut in town, and he begged that his Lordship would
be so good as to postpone the case until so important a
witness Could attend, The letter states (said the prose.

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 had 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 manoeuvre.
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 haying 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 recognizancea 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 ou 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 deci▪ ded upon,
Seymour, the second prisoner, was detained upon a
charge of having stolen a clock, the property of Mr.
James Holloway, of No. 128, Minori▪
es. 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.
GUILDHALL.
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 11. 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 be 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 same 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
d. rank, 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 had 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 bane 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. He 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 50/. each.
The required bail being put in, he was discharged.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mrs. Sarah White, carrying on the business of a
horse-slaughterer, in North street Whitechapel, ap-
peared before Mr. Harnmill, 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 accuirulate
upon her premises, which was calculated to be seriously
detrimental to the health of the surrounding neigh-
bourhood.

hospital, stated that on the 18th ult. he accompanied one
of the other medical officers of that institution, and In-
consisted, amongst other places,where
they found portions of slaughtered horses lying about,

and a quantity of liquid matter in a stagnant state, of

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-
sure 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 exhaling
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
instructed to press for a severe judgment in this instance,
as their only object was to effect an immediate and total
abatement of the nuisance.
Mr. HAMNILL said, that though the defendant
might
be authorised to carry on the business in question, it was
obvious that she could not be permitted to conduct it in
a manner which would be prejudicial to the public health;
but, under all the circumstances, he 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.
