succeeded in their object, that of keeping Europe
tranquil. They had had envoys, ambassadors, and
whole classes of these men at work, and yet the
war was spreading over the whole of Europe, and
nobody knew at what moment. this nation might
be swallowed in the gulf. (Cheers.) Therefore, if
those gentlemen did not give value for the money
they received they ought nct to be paid it. (Cheers.)
But they were always meddling with other men's
business ; and the more they did so the greater was
the mess they made. (Cheers.) After a few re-
marks in support of local self-government the noble
lord referred to the present state of affairs in this
country. They had just formed a new Government,
and he would at once say, whatever his views and
feelings might have been before the Government
was formed, that looking at it as it was now con-
stituted, he regarded it with feelings of great dis-
trust. (Hear, hear.) They had for some time been
under the rule of a minority, and Lord Derby had
done some things badly and some things well, but
the advanced Liberals were of opinion that it was
not for the interest of the country that the Tory
party should remain in power. But when the ad-
vanced Liberals came to consider the matter they
found that they could not themselves govern the
country if the other parties—the Whigs, Peelites,
and Tories, opposed them ; it was, therefore, deter-
mined that all sections of the Liberal party should
unite. There was a meeting called at 'Willis's
Rooms, and the general cry was—" Turn out Lord
Derby and you shall have a Government in which all
sections of the Liberal party shall be represented:,
That was the understanding at Willis's Rooms.
The parties accordingly united and put Lord Derby
out ; but when they had turned Lord Derby out they
turned in a very different sort of thing from what
was intended. Now, how had the understanding
come to been carried out ? The proposition was
that all the sections of the Liberal party should be
represented in the Cabinet. Those sections consisted
of Whigs, Peelites, and advanced Liberals. The
most numerous party no doubt was the advanced
Liberals. But how were the seats in the Cabinet
apportioned between these three parties ? The ad-
vanced Liberals would have been satisfied if there
had been share and share alike ; but what was the
real state of things ? Why, first and foremost, the
Cabinet was formed without any member of the Li-
beral party being in it, because hitherto the Cabinet
had consisted of only 12 or 13 members, and when
these were made up of Peelites and Whigs they dis-
covered that none of the advanced Liberals were in
it. Hallo ! said they, where are those Liberals ?
We shall not be. able to go on against these 146 or
156 if we do not, at any rate, make a semblance of
letting some of them in. If we do not do so we shall
be turned out in a week. Accordingly, they agreed
to increase the Cabinet from 12 to 16. Well, one
would suppose that the advanced Liberals would
have the additional four ; but no, they got only
two seats, and then two old Tories were stuck in to
balance them. (Cheers and laughter.) That was
what they called in this country a one-sided recip-
rocity. (Laughter.) That, then, was the actual state
of things. They had a Cabinet of six or seven old
Whigs; they had the whole of the Peelite party,
stock and lot, so that if any distinguished foreigner
were to come to this country and ask to be shown,
among other curiosities, a Peelite, they would be
obliged to go to the Cabinet door and respectfully
ask one of them to come out. (Laughter.) It was
true they had left out Mr. F. Peel. (" And Sir J.
Graham.") Yes, and Sir J. Graham, but with the
exception of those two gentlemen the whole
Peelite party were in the Cabinet, besides some six
or seven Whigs and a sort of doubtful man, neither
fish nor flesh, a half Tory and half Peelite—Mr.
Gladstone ; and then, they had Mr. Milner Gibson,
who was the only real Liberal party in the whole
(" Mr. Cobden.") Wait. He could not believe for
one moment that when that good and great man,
who did so much to cheapen the bread of the poor
—Richard Cobden, should come to this country,
fresh from America, and see in what way the com-
pact had been carried out which was entered into
at Willis's Rooms, that he would consent to join
the Cabinet. (Hear.) But if, on the spur of the
moment, he should be taken by the glitter—and no
doubt it was a great temptation to a man to be
offered to be made a Cabinet Minister—if, then, for
a moment he should be carried away, his firm belief
was that before three months were over both Richard
Cobden and Milner Gibson would walk out. The
advanced Liberal party had not been fairly treated
in the formation of the Cabinet, and he believed
the good sense of the country would go with him
when he made that assertion. (Cheers.) If, tken,
the electors of Marylebone should send him to Par-
liament, although.it would be impossible for him
to join the Tories, yet he'should watch with some
care and some doubt the course which the new Go-
vernment might take. (Hear, hear.) He was not
disposed to trust them merely because they had got
together a Cabinet. He could have no confidence
in them, constituted as that Cabinet was ; and the
only real guarantee the country could have of the
Cabinet being in favour of advanced liberal opinions
would be to have men of advanced liberal opinions
in it. (Cheers.) In the absence of that, if they
brought in good measures he would support them,
but he could not promise to vote for them in blind
confidence. (Hear,' hear.) Something had been
said about neutrality. He was on principle utterly
averse to war ; and if they did not meddle in other
people's affairs they would not get into so many
scrapes, but they must always be prepared to
hold their own. (Cheers.) England held a great
and a proud position, the first position among
civilised nations. She was the wonder and the
envy of the world, and they must take care
that she was at all times prepared to preserve
her greatness and her power. (Cheers.) But that was
not to be done by keeping un a large standing army.
The best policy to be pursued was to maintain an
efficient fleet, and let that fleet be kept in the
Channel to protect their own shores. (Cheers.)
There were two advantages in a good fleet—it
could be used against an invader, and it could not
be used against the people. (Cheers.) The noble
lord concluded by expressing a hope that the elec-
tors of Marylebone were too liberal in their senti-
ments to object to him on the ground of his being
an Irishman. (Cheers.) He, for his part, would
like to see the channel bridged over. (Renewed
cheers.) His ambition was to represent the borough
of Marylebone • but if the Liberal party could find
a man whom ;hey conceived to have better ante-
cede/its and higher qualifications to represent them,
he was not the person to stand in the way. (Great
cheering.)

A ressefution was then proposed by Mr. WYLD to
the effect that the meeting approved the sentiments
expressed by Lord Fermoy, and pledged themselves
to secure his return for the borough of Marylebone.
Mr. ROBINS moved an amendment to the effect
that the meeting did not deem it desirable to pledge
themselves to support Lord Fermoy, although they
fully approved the political opinions his lordship
had expressed.

After some confusion and uproar, the amendment
was negatived, and the original resolution was car-
ried by an overwhelming majority, amid loud
applause.

the proprict or of, or a regular professional attendant
in," Moorert
ift-house ; and if so, he should direct
thm to fiat
1 a verdict for the plaintiff for such
damages as ti tley might be advised. If, on the other
'uld be of opinion that he was neither,
hand, they she
he (Mr. Justic 3 Hill) should direct them to find a
verdict for the ‘ defendant. There would also be
two other questi ons, whether Dr. Conolly examined
the plaintiff sepa • rate ly and apart from Mr. Barnett,
and also whether Mr. Barnett was in actual prac-
tice as a surgeon. -His lordship proceeded to ob-
serve that there elm 'd be no doubt that the plaintiff
had been suffering f corn delirium tremens, and he
(the plaintiff) said that Dr. Conolly and Mr. Bar-
nett were both pre:it ‘nt all the time he was being
examined, but there was no other evidence on that
point, and the questio n would be, whether the jury
could rely on the plain, tiff's evidence in contradiction
of the certificates, which stated that the parties
had examined him " kleparately from any other
medical practitioner." Tlie next question would be,
whether Dr. Stilwell kept the plaintiff bona fide, or
whether he kept him ther e for his own gain, and
those questions would be very important in con-
sidering the question of damages. His lordship
then read the plaintiff's elidence as to his treat-
ment by the defendant, which showed that his de-
lusions continued up to July 26', 1858, and also the
evidence of the keepers and Mr. Wainwright on the
same point. His lordship then referred to the book
kept at the defendant's establishment, from which
it appeared that in the first quarter of the year
1857 Dr. Conolly ha.d received £152 10s. from the
defendant. His Lordship thought that if Dr.
Conolly had been partly the proprietor he would
have received something out of every patient ; but
the book showed that he only received payments in
respect of a certain number. It looked moi like
the case of a man who was " a regular profe!
attendant in" the asylum. In the second qt tarter,
ending June, 1857, Dr. Conolly received his con-
sulting fee (25 guineas) and payments in resi sect of
18 out of 40 patients. In the quarter end' ,ng at
Michaelmas, 1857, Dr. Conolly receiving h; 's con-
sulting fee (25 guineas) rnd payments in res] ?ect of
18 patients, in varying sums, amounting in all to
£lB4 7s. 6d. In the quarter ending at Christmas,
1857, he received payments also in mire- t of 18
patients. So, also, in the quarter ending in March,
1858, he received his consultation fee (25 g nine as)
and payments in respect of 18 patients, and . in that
quarter Mr. Ruck's name appeared with (.5 oppo-
site it. In the quarter ending at 'Mid summer,
1858, Dr. Conolly received his consultati( (n fee of
25 guineas and payments in respect of 18 patients,
Mr. Ruck's name having £l5 oppos kite. to it. It
would be for the jury to say, upon tl iat evidence,
whether they thought Dr. Conolly we s or was not
" a regular medical practitioner in" th.. e asylum.
Mr. James called his Lordship's attention to the
fact that while £l5 appeared twi( 3e after Mr.
Ruck's name, Dr. Conolly had not attended him
at all.

Mr. Justice Hill said that was certainly Mr.
Ruck's evidence, but one of the witnt !sses said that
Dr. Conolly spoke to him, and aske, I him how he
did. His Lordship told the jury that, whether
they thought Dr. Conolly was " i ii part a pro-
prietor" or a regular " professional attendant' in
the asylum, in either case they ought ; to find their
verdict for the plaintiff, with such da z nages as they
might think reasonable ; but, if 1 E., hey thought
otherwise, they ought to find for the c' lefendant.
The jury retired to consider their N 3rdiet, and on
their return into court found that, if receiving the
money as shown in the book made l 3 or. Conolly a
part proprietor, they found the fact. of receiving
the money. They found that Dr. Cot Lolly was the
regular professional attendant, with 13 500 damages.
As to Barnett's not being in prac.ti Lice, the jury
found they had not sufficient evidence e. that he was
not, nor had they sufficient evidence to ) satisfy them
that the plaintiff had not been exambo ed separately
by Mr. Barnett and Dr. Conolly.
Mr. Justice Hill then directed tlb ,e jury to find
their verdict for the plaintiff, with X. 500 damages.
Verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5OO.
