(B4ore Sir Richard T. Kimiersley.)
IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK, EX PARTE

ACTION AGAINST A ,SURGEON FOR UN-
SKIFUL TREATMHNT.-RAMAGES, 501.

At the Manchester City Court of Record, on
Monday and Tuesday, before Mr. Monk, Q.O ,
deputy-recorder, an action was brought by Mary
M'Gee, a reeler, now out of employment, to re-
cover 501. from Mr. Thomas Wilson Dyson, sur-
geon, of this city, as damages for negligent and
unskilful treatment of her broken arm, by means
of which treatment she bad been totally deprived
of the use of her right hand.
Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Sou-, and Mr. Cettingham
appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Ovens and Mr.
Leming for the defendant.
Mr. Wheeler having opened the case, the plain-
tiff, Mary M•Gee, stated that, on the 17th of
February, 1855, about ten o'clock in the forenoon,
she was walking on the flags in front of the Royal
Infirmary. The snow was on the ground, and the
pathway was very slippery. Having slipped her
foot, she fell, and broke the radius bone of her
right arm. She was taken into the infirmary,
where the bone was set acid the arm bandaged, and
splints put on. She then went home, and after-
wards sent for Mr. Dyson, the defendant, who
arrived about six o'clock the same evening. He
unbandaged the arm and examined it, and then
replaced the bandages and splints, saying it was
perfectly right. Her arm felt bandaged tigh` er
then than when it was bandaged at the infirmary ;
and she soon after had a pain wbioh she had not
felt before. She was unable to undress, or obtain
any rest for four successive nights, in consequence
of the great pain in her band, which felt "as if
something alive was moving inside.' Four days
after the accident she again saw Mr. Dyson, and
told him of the pain she was suffering, and that
the bandage was too tight ; but he said it ought
not to be slackened. He, however, gave her some
sleeping draughts. The pain continued in her
hand and wrist for the next three days, when
Mr. Dyson called again. She still complained
of great pain, and also informed him that sbe
could get no rest. Ho said he could not
slacken the bandage unless her nails were black,
which would be a sign that it was too tight ;
but ordered her more sleeping draughts.
He afterwards attended her at intervals of three
days, and on each occasion she Complaine i of a
continuation of the pain. On the 17th of March
be removed the splints. He hand was then a dark
colour, and flat; and there was a round place on
the ball of her thumb, about the size of a halfpenny,
which was of a very black colour. Mr. Dyson
then put on the splints again, and said they must
remain another fortnight. She still continued in
great pain ; and on the Wednesday following Mr.
Dyson told her that on the following Saturday (the
24th March), he would put on lighter splints, and
"remove her out of purgatory." On that day he
accordingly removed the splints, when her thumb
had a hole in it. He then told her to go home at
once, and get to bed, and apply a poultice to her
hand, for sloughing had set in. She went home
' to bed, and Mr. Dyson 'visited her at her house.
Dnring the last week that she was under his care,
which was in the beginning of May, she went for
advice to Mr. M'Dowell, homoeopathic doctor,
who ordered her to dust it with flour, but she did
not do it. A few days after she went to Mr.
Milner, and continued to apply to him for advice
during 18 months. Her hand was healed by Mr.
Milner ; but she bad completely lost the use of it,
and was unable to follow her trade. _

Mr. Ovens, on the part of the defendant, com-
plained of the length oftime which had been allowed
to elapse before bringing thi4 action, and the injus-
tice of calling upon Mr. Dyson to speak to things
which bad occurred more than two years since.
He cont.nded that the success with which his client
had cirrie I on his profession for so many 3 ears in
Manchester was a sufficient answer to the chargo
of want of skill ; and as to the other allegation, of
want of care, he should call witnesses who would
say that his treatment was a proper one.
The witnesses having been examined in support
of this statement, and Mr. Ovens having summed
up the defendant's case, Mr. Wheeler replied on
behalf of the plaintiff. The learned judge having
sumii.ed up, the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. Damage:, 501.—Manchester Guardian.
