This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired iv youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of fin-
ceasing misery and regret.

HIGHWAY RODDERY AND SUMMARY
we T.
It is rarely that we have to record the particulars
of a more daring robbery in one of the most fre-
quented highways in the neighbourhood than was
committed on the evening of Sunday last, on the road
Down, leading from Tavistock to
, with which hard-fisted

too
justice followed upon the heels of the delinquent im-
parts an interest to the facts which such cases do not
often possess.
i
The circumstances are these :—An old man named
Bellamy, formerly a resident of this town, but more
recently an inmate of the Okehampton union work-
house, set out on Monday morning from the latter

Downs." Here they were
overtaken by William
Dilling, a jockey in the
service of Mr. Thomas,
horse-dealer, of Plymouth, who, having three horses
'
with him, invited the wayfarers to ride. Harmer
having mounted one of'
readily accepted the offer, and
the two disengaged animals, was seemingly about to
Bellam
ride off with Dilling, when the old man, y,
called to them, and asked to be allowed to mount the
other horse. This was agreed and the two pro•
to,
ller's
ceeded on the road until they reached the Bull
Rock. Here
Arms, a wayside inn, near Roboroug
more drink was had, for which Bellamy
he had
the amount in his possession to 14s. As had already
imbibed rather more ale than was good for hissc,_r
health's sake, and, like a sensible toper, was con i11:01
the fact, he declined to share the third pint for whichcei
Dilling called, but said he would ride on at a foot. p .
To this they
and his companions could follow him.
consented, and the old man's story is, that hearing a
horseman behind him about twenty minutes after“
wards, he turned to greet his newly-found " friend ,
when he suddenly received a blow from a whip across
his eyes, which was succeeded by another on the
temple, which knocked him off his horse, and the next
moment he found Dining kneeling on his breast and
rifling his pockets, Hartner being a 'looker-on. This
done, he was left extended by the side of the road,
where he remained lying for a short time, when four
men dressed in the garb of miners came up, and
having learnt the particulars of the brutal manner in
which he had been treated, they left him with the as-
surance that if they overtook the rascals as they hoped

to do, they would give them a " good walloping."
Bellamy then crawled back to the Buller's Arms,
where he was treated kindly by the landlord and his
wile, who did. what they could to help him. Before,
however, the news of the robbery reached Plymouth,
Mr. T. Nicholson and Mr. llalmden of this town,
brought to the police-office the intelligence that on their
return that night from Tavistock to Plymouth, they met
with a man lying in the road, bleeding profusely from
the stripes and wounds ha had received on his head
and various parts of his body, and whom they, like
good Samaritans, carried to an inn at Jump, put him
to bed, and procured for him surgical aid and such
other assistance as he stood in need of. Little could
be gleaned from him, except that ha had been sud-
denly attacked whilst on the road to Plymouth, by
three men in the garb of miners, who, after thus
grievously assaulting him without any apparent cause
had left him more dead than alive, and he should most
probably have perished had succour not so oppor-
tunely arrived. Su'oscquent inquiry, however, led
to the discovery that the wounded man was none
other than Dilling, the highway robber, who must
thus have received the " good wallopping" promised
him, and which he so justly merited. He was on
Thursday committed by the couuty magistrates, sit•
ting at Jump, to take his trial at the next assizes. It_
appears that Hartner contrived to make his escape
when his companion was so unexpectedly assailed,
and concealed himself for the night behind some
brushwood on the moor. —Devonshire Chronicle.
