ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Plektord is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs es, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
eel reader. We trust this may not be the last, If he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it 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 whe suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
loss importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spennatorrhosa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 6.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCFI.

SIR HENRY MEUX, BART., V. QUARTERMAINE-HORSE

CASE.

This was an action for the breach of a warranty of a
horse.

Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Denman were for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. E. James and another learned gentleman
for the defendant.

The plaintiff was Sir Henry Meux, Bart., M.P. for
Hertfordshire ; and the defendant, Mr. Quartermaine,
was a horse•dealer, carrying on business in Piccadilly.
The case for plaintiff was that in March last he went to
the defendant's stables with the intention of purchasing
a riding horse for his wife. He was shown one which he
and he offered to give 1001. for it, subject to Lady
I,leux's approval. On a subsequent day she went to see
the horse, but she thought it was lame, and did not like
its action when trotted nut. Sir Henry wrote to the d--
fondant to this effect, and added that he considered he
ought to have a better hone for the money. The defen-
dant replied by letter, offering to exchange the horse for
any other in his possession. some further correspon-
dence then passed between the parties, in the course of
which the defendant insisted upon the sale hating been
absolute. At length the plaintiff agreed to buy another
horse for 1701., on the defendant representing that it was
sound in all respects, and was rising six years old,
and immediately after the purchase the plaintiff had
the borne exercised in Rotten-row, and then sent it
to a veterinary surgeon named Fi(l.l for examination.
According to the judgment of Field the horse was un-
sound, and rising r,ine instead of six years, and he fur-
nished the plaintiff with a certificate to that effect. Sir
Henry forwarded the certificate to the defendant, and
intimated his intention to return the animal. The de-
fendant denied its accuracy, and alleged that the horse
bad been injured by the ill-usage of the plaintiff's g►oom,
who, be Faid, had galloped it too fast, and he positively
declined to take it back. The plaintiff, however, or-
dered his man to deliver the horse to Mr. Quartermaine,
but, on reaching the stables, the gates were shut against
him, and the horse was r.ot allowed to enter the yard.
The horse was sold by the plaintiff, at Tattersall's,
shortly afterward•, and only brought 371. 4s. 6d., the
purchaser being Mr. Quartermaine himself.
Sir Henry and Lady Meux, and other witnesses, were
examined in support of the plaintiff's case.
The defence was that no express warranty was given
with the horse, and that it was perfectly sound at the
time of the sale.

The evidence, as in most horse cases, was ex,remely
conflicting.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after
being absent some time returned into court with a verdict
for the plaintiff—damages 150/.
