SCOTCH MEDICAL DEGREES.

The attention of the Senatus Academicus of the
University of Edinburgh has lately been directed to
various cases of the fraudulent assumption of their
medical honours by persons who either . have never
become . graduates at all, or who have obtained
diplomas from academical bodies not very scrupulous,
and not even possessing the means of imparting s
medical education. Regarding the false assumption
of their degree not only as criminal in itself, but as
calculated to lower the. estimation in which Doctors
of Medicine of this--LrniVersityhtiVe-
the Senatus Academicus have resolved to employ the
most effectual means of defeating all attempts to
practise this discreditable imposition. And, as an
example of the consequences to be expected from such
attempts, it has been thought proper to publish the
following case:—
In 1838, a person named George Haslewood, wish-
ing to establish himself as a physician at Pau, in the
Basses Pyrenees, and pretending to have had the
degree of M.D. conferred on him by the University
of Edinburgh, obtained the requisite license from the
Minister of Public Instruction at Paris; but as suspi-
cions were excited at Pau with regard to the truth of
his representation, an inquiry on. the subject was
addressed to the Secretary of this University. The
answer to the Secretary, being in the negative, was
communicated to the Minister of Public Instruction,
who, after ordering an investigation, was at first de-
ceived by an unfounded assurance, that diplomas
could be purchased at Edinburgh without even the
personal attendance of the candidates, and that the
diploma in question had been procured on the pay-
merit of a large sum of money to` a practitioner
then at Pau, who was about to retire, and who has
since died. The Senatus on being informed of this
audacious and scandalous Senates,
transmitt-d to her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for foreign
Aft rirg a narrative of the case, accompanied by a re-
quest-that his Lordship would communicate the parti-
culars to the British Ambassador at Paris, that the
French Government might be made fully aware of
the facts. In consequence of this application, official
information has now been. received, that the Ambas-
sador had transmitted to the French Government the
re resi;iitation of the Senatus, and had subswqui,ntly
ascertained that Mr. Ilaclewood had surrendered the
license which had been previously granted to him,
and was about to leave Pau.

The Senatus Academicus may probably find it ne-
cessary to expose some other ii,stances of similar de-
ceptions which have recently been reported to them.
In the meantime they take this opportunity of stating,
that daring the whole period a the existence of the
Medical School in this University, the Senatus had
never once conferred the degree of M.D. except on
candidates, who, after producing satisfactory evidence
of having completed a regular course of study in all
the branches of medicine, either here or in other Uni-
versities, have submitted to strict and careful exami-
nations by the members of the Medical Faculty, and
have, in presence of the assembled Senatus, sub-
, scribed the Sponsis Academica, solemnly binding
them to uphold the honour of the University, by the
faithful observance of its rules, and by the pure and
correct exercise of their professional duties.

COMMITTAL OF RICHARD DADD, THE PARRICIDE.
—ROCREsTER,Auc. 6.—This morning this unhappy man
was brought up on remand before a bench of magis-
tratet, charged with the wilful murder of his father on
the 23th of August, 1843, in Cobham-park. On the
bench were the following county- magistrates :—Eev.
George Davies Chairman ; William Elers, Esq., James
Smith, Esq., William Gladdish, Esq., Captain Thomas
Baker, William 11. Nicholson, Esq., J. Night-
ingale, Esq , J. G. Bryant, Esq., &e. The evidence
having been gone 'over, the particulars of which have
been ~ften published, the prisoner was asked if he had
any questions to put, and, with a shake of the head,
he said, " No." The magistrates retired for a short
time, and on their return the Rev. Chairman inquired
of the prisoner if he had anything to say why he should
not be committed for the offence with which he stands
charged ? Prisoner—Oh no, of course not. The pri-
soner was then committed. Mr. Brown, a solicitor,
who attended un behalf of the family of this unfortunate
youlg man, made an application to the Magistrates
under the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 24, " that if two
justices of the peace, and two surgeons, make a report
of the insanity of the prisoner to the Secretary of State,
he can, upon receipt of it, order the prisoner to be con-
fined in some lunatic asylum." The Magistrates inti-
mated that such a course would be taken.
