MEDICAL NEGLECT.

A coroner's jury at Ouston, near Newcastle, has
returned a verdict of " manslaughter" against a
medical man for neglecting a woman in her confine-
ment. The evidence tended to shew that the doctor
had been negligent in his attendance, and that his
treatment of the case had been of an unusual
character. :One witness states that she went for him,
and after ringing and knocking for several times, the
door was answered, and she said her sister was dying.
He said he would come directly. She waited outside
for about half an hour, and he did not come. She
therefore knocked again, and the servant who opened
the door said that Mr. Wilson was fatigued and in
bed, and therefore could not come. The evi-
dence of two medical men went to prove that the
treatment had been most ignorant and unskilful.
The medical profession has been rather unfortunate
lately in some of its members, though it still deserves
its character for mercy and. skill in dealing with
suffering. Let the examiners of the Royal College
look to it that they do not send out into the country
ignorant men with a certificate to kill, and let the
heads of the profession turn a little attention to
the medical treatment of the poor in some obscure
districts.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Before Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Byles,
. Keating, and Brett.)
EDMUNDS V. GREENWOOD.

Introivalr'aQh t .ete' sitting at Middlesex
Mr.
enteredb y Sf
oe
ry said this action was
now
after next term. On the present occasion he
had to move for a rule calling upon the
defendant to ShOW cause why certain interro-
gatories should not be put to him. The plaintiff
was M'Leonard Edmunds, and late a clerk in the
Patent-office, and reading clerk in the House of
Lords, and the defendant was Mr. Greenwood,
solicitor to the Treasury. The case was one for
libel, and application had been made to Mr. Baron
Martin to order the interrogatories to be answered,
but his lordship had refused to make the order.
The Chief Justice—Then the present is as ap-
peal from the decision of Mr. Baron Martin.
Mr. Seymour said that was so. The declaration
set out that the libel was contained in three re-
ports made by the defendant, and „alp a letter
which Mr. Greenwood had written. Certain charges
were made against the plaintiff, and an inquiry
was directed by the Government to be made
as to the mode business was conducted in the office.
The complaint of the plaintiff was that Mr. Green-
wood had made comments on matters foreign to
the inquiry he was directed to make, and that these
reports, by their publication in the newspapers, had
been highly injurious to the plaintiff.
The Lord Chief Justice said it did not appear
that the defendant had directed the publication,
and it was not so stated or implied in the affidavit
of the plaintiff.
Mr. Seymour said that the principal parts upon
which he asked for information was for what pur-
pose were the lithographic copies of the documents
sent to Mr. Woodruff at the Patent-office.

The case is proceeding, and will occupy some
time.

VIZ BISHOP OP DUNEDIN ON THE REAL

PRESENCE.

The Leicester Journal reports a sermon by the Bishop of
Dunedin a day or two since, on the occasion of
"an inaugural service " in connection with the
English Church Union at St. Margaret's, Leicester.
The Bishop, comparing the Evangelical and Catholic
movements in the Church, said that to the
clergy who headed the Evangelical movement belonged
the honour of having revived in the English Church a
deep and true yearning after their Saviour and God.
"But," he added, "the views of those who took part in
the Evangelical movement with regard to the truth
were partial, sometimes even distorted. The Church's
claims, for instance, were almost entirely lost
sight of. The Sacraments and Sacramental ordinances,
public offices of the Church, and indeed all outward
forms of religion, were depreciated. The Evangelical
movement taught men to seek for Christ. The Catholic
movement teaches them where to find Christ—teaches
them to find Him in the Blessed Sacrament of His own
Body. No longer do we speak as if the presence of Christ
WAS a mere figure of speech, a matter depending on the
warmth of our feelings, or the strength of our conviction.
We have got beyond that. We have been taught by the
Church our mother, whose voice we have learned to
respect, what the Incarnation really is, and how that
wondrous mystery is brought near to us day after day through
the media of the sacraments. We know, as they know who
went before us, how that Christ suffered for us, and
that on this great atonement long ago wrought all
our hopes of heaven depend. But we have
learnt, by God's mercy, what they missed, or
at any rate imperfectly grasped, viz., how that
great atonement is made available for our salvation. We
know in whose blood we were washed in holy baptism ;
we know whose pierced hands were laid on us at confirma-
tion, and who offered Himself for us and gives Himself to
us in the holy Eucharist. We know that it is our dear
Lord's own personal presence, that it is His
own work in His Church, with which He has
promised to be to the end of the world, that
is producing such wondrous effects around us. All the
signs of life that have been of late so manifestly exhibited
we have learnt to atti ibute to that Presence ; all our hopes
for the future we know are and must be founded on the
continuance of that Presence."

BRUTALITY.

A case of badger-baiting at Birkenhead, as reported
in a Liverpool paper, has a very ugly appearance.
Fifteen or sixteen young men belonging to the com-
mercial aristocracy of Liverpool were discovered at a
public-house killing rats. Between each bout of
rat-killing the dog was sent into the cage of a
badger, which it seized by the neck with its
teeth, and hung there with such tenacity that its
jaws had to be forced open with a piece of iron. This
occurred half a dozen times on an evening when the
place was visited by a police-constable in plain clothes.
The aristocrats were fined ls. each, the publican £5. It
is a fact not generally known,. except to sporting-
men, that terrier pups are trained to ratcatching by
being placed in a pit with rats from which the teeth
have been extracted. These are only a few phases
of that devilish passion for cruelty, which in former
days took its victims from humanity, but which now
is obliged to be content with dumb animals.

SPAIN.

The statement that Don Ferdinand, of Portugal, had
refused to become a candidate for the throne of Spain is
strengthened by the IlEmorial Diplomatique. This journal
announces that the decision of the ex-King is irrevocable.
When the question was proposed to him he is said to have
made use of expressions similar to the following : —" I ac-
cepted from duty and paternal love the post of Regent to
this kingdom (Portugal) which I have conscientiously
filled ; but I was too sensible of the burden of power to
charge myself with it again on a larger and more stormy
theatre. I am anxious to pass the few years which God
reserves for me in a calm and peaceable retirement, in
conformity with my tastes, to which ambition is a
stranger." Don Ferdinand is wiser than most of his
generation ; but his decision will beyond doubt greatly
complicate the difficulties of the Spanish Monarchists.
There was something after all in the Libertrs curious
announcement that a deputation of four had waited upon
General Cabrera, in London, and had induced him to head
a Carlist movement. At least the Prase says that a
meeting of the principal partisans of Don Carlos was
recently held at the residence of that prince. Cabrera,
Gomez, and others were present. "Important resolutions
were adopted, and the statement is that the first-named
General has left for Madrid, commissioned to confer with
the triumvirate at present in power."
Turkey has recognised the Provisional Government.
Several correspondents say that the candidature of the
Duke of Montpensier is supported by some members of
the Provisional Government, but that the people give it
no encouragement. Dulce, Serrano, and Topete are said
to be the leaders of this movement.

DEAN ALFORD.

In a sermon preached in Canterbury Cathedral
upon the occasion of the death of the Archbishop,
the Dean was reported to have commended the late
Primate in that he broke through the fetters of
conventional precedent, and did that which was not
expected of an archbishop in fashionable society
when he came into familiar contact with the working
classes. This was a fine subject for a leader, and the
Star accordingly told those who wondered why
working-men felt a contempt for the Church that
this spirit was the cause of it. Our contemporary
remarked that " the height of spiritual pride which
a man must have attained before he can talk in this
way, the gulf between him and the classes he talks
about is something-: terrible to think of on the one
hand, and, on the other, is a subject for both curious
and profitable speculation. There cannot be the
shadow of a doubt that the Dean thought hewas doing
a handsome thing by the workmen in reminding
them of that amiable discourse in Northgate."
Alas ! that the Dean should never have uttered the
sentiments attributed to him. lie now writes to say
that the writer of the article has entirely mistaken
the spirit and drift of his remarks, such sentiments
being abhorrent to every feeling of his mind. The
Dean refers to the Kentish. Gazette for a correct
report. It is pleasant to catch a dean trippyig, and.

The liberty of the press is not precisely a Prussian insti.

habit of taking twenty-five copies of one of the
papers—not specially devoted to Prussian rule—esta.
blished in the old free town. These copies were dis-
tributed. A poor woman who carried them to their
destination has been arrested, and condemned to six
weeks' imprisonment and a fine of £7los. No appeal has
been allowed. Professor Ewald, one of the most learned
men in the country, has had his pension withdrawn for
publishing a pamphlet condemning Prussian annexation
from a moral point of view.

THE BRIBERS AND THE BRIBED,

With the admirable intent of frightening the electors
from accepting bribes in the coming election, the Tele-
graph publishes a résumé of the Bribery Bill of last
session. It points out, in the first place, that the machinery
for discovering
_bribery has been entirely altered.
Formerly the offence was committed without
much hesitation, not so much because the penalties were
light, as because the chance of escaping detection was
great. Committees of the House of Commons were
actuated by a certain amount of sympathy even for an
unseated candidate, and they always reported that he
had no guilty knowledge of corrupt practices committed
in his name. But now the trial is to take
place before judges of the superior courts men
thoroughly well versed in the art of sifting grains
of truth from heaps of falsehood, and skilful in detecting
attempts to defeat justice. Parliamentary agents were
accustomed to make mutual concessions, by which
prosecutions of the worst cases were abandoned.
A Tory briber in Essex would be paired off against
a Whig malefactor in Yorkshire. These convenient
arrangements will now cease. For the future, a petition,
once presented, cannot be withdrawn without the leave of
a judge ; and before he gives his consent he must
be satisfied that the withdrawal is not induced
by any corrupt bargain or consideration. The
most severe and stringent clauses of the Act
are those which impose penalties for bribery. If a
judge finds that the offence has been committed " with the
knowledge and consent of a candidate at an election," the
candidate is subjected to the following disqualifications
for seven years :—He cannot sit in the House of
Commons. He is incapable of being an elector any-
where. He cannot hold any municipal office in a
borough. He cannot hold any judicial office, or act as a
justice of the peace. It is not only required that the can-
didate should abstain from corrupt acts, but must also
hold himself aloof from corrupt instruments. His election
will be rendered void by the employment of any
person as canvasser or agent who has within seven
years previously been convicted of bribery. The
receivers of bribes are under this Act liable
to the same penalties as the givers of bribes dis-
qualification for sitting in Parliament, voting at elections,
or holding municipal or judicial offices. The
Judge who tries an election petition is required to
report the names of all persons " who have been
proved to have been guilty of any corrupt practice."
This report is, under the late Act, and another of
1863, required to be laid before the Attorney• General,
" with a view to his instituting a prosecution against such
persons, if the evidence should in his opinion be sufficient
to support a prosecution." It may be presumed that the
Attorney• General will usually give credit to the reports of
the judges, and that the evidence which satisfies them will
satisfy him as to the propriety of prosecutino the persons
accused.

BRUTALITY.

A case of badger-baiting at Birkenhead, as reported
in a Liverpool paper, has a very ugly appearance.
Fifteen or sixteen young men belonging to the com-
mercial aristocracy of Liverpool were discovered at a
public-house killing rats. Between each bout of
rat-killing the dog was sent into the cage of a
badger, which it seized by the neck with its
teeth, and hung there with such tenacity that its
jaws had to be forced open with a piece of iron. This
occurred half a dozen times on an evening when the
place was visited by a police-constable in plainclothes.
The aristocrats were fined ls. each, the publican R 5. It
is a fact not generally known, except to sporting-
men, that terrier pups are trained to ratcatching by
being placed in a pit with rats from which the teeth
have been extracted. These are only a few phases
of that devilish passion for cruelty, which in former
days took its victims from humanity, but which now
is obliged to be content with dumb animals.

nonouun MAUIbTRATES.

A certain member of Parliament sits on the bench
of a small borough. The mayor and he do not get
on comfortably. The mayor accuses the member of
disturbing the peace of the town, and, in his official
capacity, denounced him some time ago in a long
charge. The other day the mayor reintroduced the
subject, when the M.P. rose from the bench stating
that he thought he had better go. Another
magistrate moved the adjournment of the
court, and then the M.P. remarked that they
had better go on with the business. The mayor
denounced his conduct as disgraceful, when the M.P.
advanced to the front of the table facing the mayor,
folding his arms, and laughing as he said, "Now, old
fellow, what are these accusations against me ?"
" Don't old fellow me; you ought to stand there as a
culprit," replied the chief magistrate. The M.P.
threatened to move that the mayor leave the chair.
Then followed an edifying squabble, some of the
magistrates, after vainly endeavouring to stop the
row, leaving the bench. "When the chief magistrate
recommenced his speech, he called out that in a few'
days his year of office would expire; and a man in
the body of the court remarked, " The sooner the
better." Of course the poor wretch who was next
fined for being disorderly would have a keen sense of
the impartiality of justice and the dignity of #a
administration.
