Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOED.
"Dr. Pickford as known to English readers ny his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nost-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall Jet set any
other equally flagrant evil which ft may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers;
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from Ulf, com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
t)43 saved mirth needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much money ......This volume is welt qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place this treat-
ment upon a more rational and physlaiorrical basis. It is, thittefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day).

OLD COURT. ---
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CASE OF MR. SNAPS.

In this case, which, it will be remembered, is a prose-
cution instituted by the Lunacy Commissioners against
the defendant, ,rho is one of the medical officers of the
Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, for causing the death
of a pauper lunatic by keeping him for a long perbud in
a cold shower bath, Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the
prosecution, applied to have the recognisances of the
witnesses for the prosecution respited to the next se.t.sion.
He said that although the defendant was committe d by
the magistrate to this session, it was understood at the
time that it would be impossible to be ready to go on
with the case at the present session, and he believed it
would meet the convenience of all parties that the trial
should be postponed.
The recognisances of the witnesses were then ordered
to be enlarged to the next session.
Henry Stevens pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery
with violence.

The robbery'imputed to the prisoner was one of a very
daring and im udent character. It appeared that the
nAganLislU4,4llo4lp,of t apo-
seentor, Mr. Cockeyne, aj irelier. in Mirk-lane at six
,
evening. The prosecutor was alone in
the shop, and they asked him to show them some studs,
and upon his turning round to the glass case, the pri-
soner's companion seized him by the throat while the
prisoner deliberately began emptying the cases of the
jewellery they contained. The prosecutor struggled
with his assailant, and was severely injured; and at
length both the men ran away. The prisoner was stopped
by a man named Joseph Williams, who, after a very
severe struggle, succeeded in securing him, and about
601. worth of jewelery wis found in his possession. The
other man succeeded in making his escape.
Evidence was given that prisoner had been before
convicted of burglary, and he was sentenced to be trans-
poited for 14 years.
The Recorder ordered a reward of 61. to be paid to
Williams for his gallant conduct upon the occasbn.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MARY-

LEBONE.

This afternoon a young man, whogave the name of
John Coles, was ezainined at Marlborough-street police
court, charged with attempting to murder a young fe-
male named Emily Lucas.
From the evidence it appeared that last night the pri-
soner was loitering about Harley-street-villas, and at
about half-past 9 a boy arrived at No. 9 and rung the
bell. The girl, a servant at the house, opened the loor
to take the parcel the boy had to deliver, when the
prisoner rushed up and fired a pistol at her, which
took effect in the forehead, between the eyes, one of
which it completely knocked out. The poor girl fell to
the ground, and the prisoner made off. The wounded
woman was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, and it was
discovered that the wound was likely to cause death. At
about half past 10 last night, the prisoner gave himself
up to Constable Williams, D, saying, "I'm your pri-
soner. I've shot her, and you'll soon bear all about it."
He was searched at the station, and on his person
was found 8 love letters, 4 percussion caps, 4 small
pebbles, oz. of powder, and a pistol.
The weapon, with which the deed was committed,
was a large horse pistol. Jealousy ie said to be the
cause of the melancholy affair.
The magistrate having heard the evidence of the
house surgeon of the hospital, remanded the prisoner.
