BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, Loudon.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious artiste for their
make, feel it incumbent en them to request the attention of the
piddle, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " liurgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such die-
tinguished,approbation, 01 every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solcit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and Is recom-
mended as a most usetld and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

THIS IS Till ONLY COMPANT'vho are bound by tkeir deed
of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prwre that

. ,
it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
ebjeot having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall ewe their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims
arise; and fir this purpose the Company have, by a clause be their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations cernmen to all ether Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correet-
mess of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing bat fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Cempany.
THIS IS TPIR ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the stuns assured,
THIS IS THII ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the slims in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The
Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without referenee to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant M favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debter should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation In the preits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him front
effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance; as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose tke or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment by tke half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death
should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may this have the -use for tho first year
of Si.; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,

26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging My-five per cent. on the
amount already Invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
prerniturts.

PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.
Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums,
by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible
present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder
will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu-
tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid thewhole amount
of his premiums in advance, in the usual way.
Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age,
instead of paying 21. Gs. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would
be required to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on
payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share
of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre-
miums to very little more than the half Premium of IL 3s. originally
paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance
society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As-
sured.

Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on
satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the
expiration of five years.
_ .

:An the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy-
holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5
per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific
sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has
been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-
half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five
years, thus enabling a perscin to assure his life for £l,OOll on the im-
mesliate payment of the premium for •£5OO only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
!00 for the whole life, one-half cf which may remain for five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent ; and
should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted. _ _ _

become due at Lady-day. that no extra charge is made at this office
for the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated on terms

REPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of
HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1843.
In the year 159.8 the above Establishment was founded by James
Morison, the Hygeist, who, together with a great number of indivi-
duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to
carry out those principles in medicine known as the " Hygeian Sys-
tem," which have from interested motives been so violently opposed
by the Faculty, but which they (the Hygeists), notwithstanding, coil-
scientiously believe to be founded in truth. Time, the test of all
theories, has most certainly proved the truth of that system. The
Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re.
spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure
of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had
been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment ;
these facts are on record throughout the different parts of the globe,
and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys-
tem of doctors (the organic pathology) as being altogether founded in
error, which, we submit, is emply proved by the fact of doctors being
at this day quite at variance with one another, both as regards the
theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cure,
Homoeopathy, Mesmerism, Sec. The fact of medical men being gene-
rally persons of education is not of itself at all conclusive of their
being the most competent to cure disease, if it can be proved, as we
say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have
diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made
the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even
the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer
the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most
Migrant contradictions and absurdities. Mr. Morison, on the other
hand, proceeding upon a' simple, but true: and [natural theory—
namely, that all diseases, however they may show themselves, have
their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids, so that there
is, in tact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni.
versal Medicine ; and he, and those connected with his system, have
invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been
cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been
submittei to learned doctors; they would have tried, perhaps, innu-
merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, after all,
have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say
these are facts of tvery day occurrence, and that those who will in-
quire into this important question will find them such. We are
aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian would not
sufficiently remunerate doctors, since:every person might thus become
his own physician. The public will, therefore, not be much surprised that
the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin.
ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork, which consequently
obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in
cases of disease; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear
infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of
the body.
In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the
last Report of the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady
Grey's last letter. and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri-
tish Government, lee., all of which we submit is corroborative of the
foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors i n
treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneocs.
(Signed) MORISON, MOAT, and CO., Hygeists.
• At the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary upwards of 4,000 poor per.
sons have been restored to health by the Hygeian medicines, many
of whom had been declared incurable in the Exeter hospitals under
doctors' treatment. The Dispensary, situate at 91, Fore-street-hill,
Exeter, has now been in full operation during the last eight years,
and is under the direction of Richard Tothill, Esq., to whom the
public is referred as regards the proceedings at that Institution.
Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia rey.
Sandiwav, December 7, 1843.
Gentlemen,—By the wish of cur labourer, d. Greaves, I write to
say that he wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by
taking your most excellent medicines. When we came to this place
he was a poor sickly young man, so often ties up with violent attacks
of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth
Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per.
suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and
No. 2. He his done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is
now a very he filthy man, and able to wo, k like any other labourer,
and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se-
veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis-
tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, anti no words
can describe theblessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve-
ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter ; but am
not deceived, as I have friends who watch their progress. As for my-
self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your
Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father.
I remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely P
obliged,
SOHI A GREY.

Extract of the Report of the Exeter 11% geian Dispensary for No—
vember, 1643:
Mr. Robert Potter. aged 62, is a yeoman, residing at Countess
Wear, near Exeter. In the month of May last he was violently seized
with inflammation in the neck of the bladder, so that he had not
the power to pass his waters consequently Mr Perkins, surgeon,
of Exeter, was sent for to pass the catheter and draw it off. Mr.
Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gout, so-much
EO, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance
with Mr. Perkins, and it was considered that he was in imminent
danger. All means were had recourse to, according to the present
mode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in some mea
sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as
for the bladder, it had lost entirely its contractile power, so much so,
that for thirteen weeks lie never could make water in the natural
way, and the catheter was obliged to be introduced four or five times
every day, and always during the night it was kept passed into the
bladder. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner
until the sth of August, about which period he was recommended
to me to see if Morison's Pills would have any good effect upon him,
and my opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that
medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pills at
night and two in the morning, and at the end of the third day,
astonishing to say, he was able to make water in the natural way.
lie continued every day to progress favourably, and I think he has
taken the medicines in varied doses for about three months, under
my directions, with the happiest results, inasmuch that he has now
no occasion to pass the instrument, the bladder haying quite regained
its natural power • and Mr. Potter's health is so regcrigratO in
every respect, that he has now become as active and healthy a person
as can be seen.
Mr. Potter has requested me to publish his case, as he never can
be too thankful for the grezt blessing he has received, and will
be most willing to answer any inquiries to any one respecting his
distressing ifinsss, and also as to the very extronlinary effect of the
medicines
upon him, by their applying to him at. Countess Wear,
near Exeter.

Treating Diseases.
1. A nice thing this organic pathology of doctors, which enables
thCm t, administer innumerable drugs, and what is best ci all for

them, it can never be proved that they have given that which is im-
proper. Dr- A. gives this, Dr. B. that, Dr. C. the other thing, and
so forth. Dr. A. bleeds, Dr. B. doesn't, and Dr. C. both bleeds and
doesn't. Mr. D. complains of a pain in the side, upon which Dr. A.
sends forth a messenger, in the shape of morphine, or some ether
ins, to fetch it out from that particular loc.ilay. Mr. D. complains
of a pain in his liver, Dr. A. sends another messenger in the shape,
perhaps, of calomel, to fetch that out. Mr. a iomplains of a pain
is his head, Dr. A. sends a third messenger of some sort or other,
dignified also with a Latin name, to fetch that out. Thus, according
to doctors, there is a specific for every part of the body. This
sounds very well, but unfortunately they a'l differ among them..
selves, on accs,unt of symptoms, as to when and how their remedies
should be given. We call this a system of quackery, which may be
verified by any person referring to the medical works of the day.
It is a most fearful quackery, because it tends completely to enslave
the public mind, prevents inquiry, and takes away all respansibllity
from doctors ; they always have a loophole to creep out at under
their organic pa' hology. If a poor patient dies, of course the disease
killed him, it couldn't have been the d ctors''drugs ; the confiding
friends believe him, and there is no further inquiry.
2. Kee ing fine houses and carriages, in order to lead persons to
believe that, therefore, they can cure diseases be' ter than their
brethren with diplomas, but without carriages or fine houses. This.
of course, would have no weight with the iaiblic if they knew the
nature of their own bodies. but being grossly ignorant of it, they are
led by outward show. We believe that it is well known that a
doctor stands no chance unless he keeps his carriage of some sort
or other.

3. Writing their prescriptions in Latin. This is done, we pre-
sume, to prevent the patient knowing the useless or injurious things
which he is taking; at all events, to give importance and mystery
to the thing.
4. Writing a book upon some particular disease (thanks to their
organic pathology), and then getting a friend, the editor of some
newspaper or review. to puff it into notoriety.
Having considered the quackeries of doctors, we turn to the Hy-
geian system. Let us see whether there be quackery in that. How
stands the case? Why simply thus—Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, al-
leges that all diseases proceed from one cause, viz., impurities in the
blood; he also alleges that the Vegetable Universal Medicine, by
removing these impurities, must necessarily produce health. Is he
borne out by facts in that assertion ? Let the thousands of cured
patients answer. Moreover, it has been offered during the last
eight years to prove the important fact of the universality of the
medicine, by a strict examination of the csses of poor people who
present themselves daily at the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, most
of whcm are discarded as incurable patients from the Exeter hos-
pitals. We cannot see how the word quackery can apply to the
Hygeian system; it'll not
,pretended that the medicine cures by
magic, or as if theee were acharm in it, but it is, on the contrary,
its cleansing properties over the blood which are relied upcn. The
cause of all diseases is asserted, and the medicine being unchange-
able, it therefore follows that every person, understanding that
system, can judge whether he will put himself under the Hygeian
treatment or net. There is no loophole for Hygeists as with doctors;
if the pills fail, then Hygeists say that, in their opinion, nothing else
will cure.

As to doctors being generally persons of education, It is no proot
whatever of their ability to cure the sick, because from motives of
gaix (hence their opposition to Hygeism) the medical schools have
departed from simple nature, and in order to make medicine a lu.
cratire employment, they have invented this cursed organic patho.
logy before described, which is new so mystified, that some of its
professors have gone mad, andothers confess that they know nothing
about it. Some of them have turned mesmerizers, homseopathists,
water doctors, mad doctors, &c. With these observations we leave
the public to say which are really the quacks.
Lastly,, be it remembered, that Hygeiaism owes its rise and pro.
gross entirely to public support, and, unlike the doctors, does not re-
quire the prop of arbitrary Acts of Parliament, the indirect puffs of
newspapers, or the subscriptions of the rich.

Lieut. Mackinnon's Report.
The last packet from America brought the following report from
Lieutenant John Mackinnon, 104th Foot. Hygeian general agent
for Cape Breton and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence:—
To Messrs. Morrison and Moat. British College of Health, London.
Dear Sirs,—On the 6th of October, 1842, I had the pleasure of
transmitting to the British College of Health a brief report on
Hygeian affairs in this quarter of the globe, and which, I am
happy to discover, has been largely circulated, and some hundreds of
copies sent to this island to stare in the face both friends and foes.
Since the report alluded to, the Universal Medicines of the Col-
lege have nothing diminished in the estimation of old as well as new
patients, for not a cloud has arisen to obscure, even for a moment,
their shining lustre, and many cases of cure have been performed,
(by the blessing of God on the means) of truly a most astonishing
nature. A few only I deem it necessary to forward.—'it. Archibald
M'Donald, aged 47, farmer, pronounced incurable by several doc-
tors. He bad been informed by the wiseacres, that by the aid of
their sounding rods they had disco erect that his heart had grown
too large for its casement, and that he might prepare himself for an
eternal world. He applied to me as his dernier resource before
leaving this world, and was greatly surprised at my falling into a
violent fit of laughter at his tale of woe. " Archy, my man," said
I, " Do only what I bid you, and I will cut down that tremendous
heart of yours in a few weeks; fir those fellows you have been
consulting are only. blind leaders of the blind." The pills and
powders were administered in grand style, twenty at a dose twice
a day; this was in April. and the July following he paid for his
medicines by mowing the grass in my field;, and then found that
his heart was freed from its shackles. He has remained in good
health ever since.
For the remainder of Lieut. Mackinnon's report," see the 29th
number of the Hygeist, published on the let of December last.
The last Overland Mail from India brought intelligence of the
chol ra raging in the interior. and of its successful treatment in
all cases where Morison's Medicines were had recourse to.
The following is an extract from a letter just received by Messrs.
Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, Hamilton-
place, New-road, London, from Robert L. Pereira, Esq., then ge-
neral agent for Madras, dated October 21, 1843 :
I regret to inform you that the cholera is making great ravages
in the inte:ior, and in a part of the black town called Parcherry.
In Madras. during the, last nine or ten days, many have fallen
victims; those who have taken your invaluable medicines have
been cured, and others have been saved from an attack by a timely
application to same means.
Another extraordinary case of cure from Mr. Pereira, of Madras.
Copy:—To Mr. R. L. Pereira.

beg to inform you that one of my relations, a boy 12 years
of age, having been bitten one night, at about half.past eight o'clock,
by a venomous snake, called by the natives Cataverien, or Carpet
Snake, about twelve o'clock his whole body became swollen to an,
enormous size, and he commenced vomiting blood and rice, accom-
panied with an oppression in the chest, and in the last stage. I
hare, in the absence of other medicines, given him a dose of twelve
of Morison's No. from the last purchase I made from you, and
the boy, half an hour after he had taken the pills, threw up bile and
had a few motions, whereby he felt instant relief, which gave him
good rest till the next morning, and when he awoke be still
felt heavy symptoms, upon which a medical practitioner, a
relative of the patient, prepared a draught, and desired the
boy to take it; he peremptorily refused, and said he would take
no other medicine but the pills he had taken before, because he
benefited thereby ; accordingly, another dose of nine pills
was given him ; about half an hour after he vomited some !green
stuff and had three green motions, and entirely recovered. I beg
also to bring to your notice that, notwithstanding the most extra.
ordinary cure I ha-e experienced with this invaluable medicine in
the bite of a venomous snake, as above stated, I have had the hap-
piness of curing varicas complaints of both a chronic and acute
hould to this very day suffer with the 'severe pain
nature., and more particularly of myself. I must say that were it n-t
for these pills I
in the pit of my stomach which used to come on me very fre.
qucntly for several years before I used' them ; in fact, many in my
neighbourhood who knew me to have*suffered with the pain, and
that I had cured myself of it with these pills, flock to me for aid
whenever they. are taken ill, and I am obliged to give it to them,
gratis in some instances. Hoping that, as these pills are now be-
t oming better known avong the native population, and will be in
greater demand daily, you will always have a good stock on hand for
the begefit of mankind in this part of the universe,
I beg to subscribe myself, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,

THE THREE-AND-A-HALF PER

CENTS.

Some degree of interest has been felt in the City to-
day, to learn the result of the entries in the Bank books
for the carrying out of the plan, or otherwise, of the re-
duction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. We are en-
abled to state with the utmost confidence that the dis-
sents are few, and for insignificant amounts; and that
the assents, as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
of 1818, comprise the larger proportion of the holders of
the stock just named, both, of course, having reference
to those national creditors who are resident in the
United Kingdom. As,officially the positive amount of
dissents cannot be communicated except to the Trea-
sury, still there are one or two statements in circula-
tion upon this really interesting and national subject.
If the information received from one party be correct,
but ten or eleven holders.have dissented, who have stock
in their names to a sum not equal to 40,0001. The assents,
as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., have been
given in very freely today, and there will not be the
least diffieulty in providing for those who have neglected
to protect their own interests; for by the negligence
they will receive in,October next but 1001. per cent.,
whereas the New Threeand-a-Quarter may be quoted
as worth at least 21 per cent. more. But a month, or
nearly, still must elapse - for holders out of Europe, to
dissent or assent (as to the stock of 1818); yet, how-
ever, the Chancellor, is held to have eminently suc-
ceeded. The next, and we believe the most accurate
assertioa is, that out of holders of the Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. of 1818 (the stock being calculated at
about 10,000,0000, full 7,000,0001 of acceptors of the
terms have inscribed their names. Then, as to the dis-
sents to the other Three-and-a-Half per Cents., they do
not exceed 150,0001. Observer.

A few days ago, a man engaged in digging a well,
at Mont-le-Francois (Haute-Saone), bought about 401bs. of
gunpowder, in order to blow up a stratum of rock at which
he had arrived. On entering his dwelling, he let fall the bag
of powder, which burst, and the whole of the contents was
scattered on the floor. .1t was night, but the wife, to avoid
the risk of leaving the powder where it was till the morning,
determined to sweep it up. While thus engaged, the finer
particles, raised in dust by her broom, caught fire, and
caused the whole to explode ; and the result was terrible.
The house was scattered in portions in every direction, and
the man and his wife were' both driven, with the door, to a
distance of 15 yards. Their state is dreadful. Some hopes
of saving the man are entertained, but none of the woman.--

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD CI RCU IT.—Hereford, March 23.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKS and a

Special Jury.)
BELLER-9 V. CHALK AND ANOTHER.

This was an action for iiTel,ironghthYlirr:l3ellers, a gen-
tleman residing at Barnard's-green, in the parish of Great
Malvern, in the county of Worcester, against Messrs. Chalk
and Holt, the proprietors of the Worcester Herald. The de-
fendants pleaded only the' eneral issue, " Not guilty."
Mr. Whateley, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Gray conducted the
plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. F. V.
Lee appeared for the defendants.
The libels of which theitlaintiff complained were contained
in certain paragraphs, which, about the end of last year, ap-
peared in the Worcester Herald, a journal enjoying an exten-
sive circulation not'only in the county of Worcester, but in
the adjoining counties of Hereford and Gloucester; and the
charge which they conveyed was so startling in itself, and of
so unusual a kind, that the paragraphs immediately found
their way into the London journals, and thence were copied
by nearly all the provincial papers in the kingdom. On the
2d of December, 1843, the following appeared in the Wor-
cester Herald, headed " Extraordinary Conduct to Horses" :
" We have much hesitated before making public the fol-
lowing statement, really doubting whether our readers, from
the almost incredible and revolting facts it discloses, would
not conclude we were romancing, and saying the thing that
is not. However, we can only prefaCe such statement by
observing, that in giving it we put forth the truth as related
to us, and from the quarter from which we have derived it,
as we have reason to believe, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth: For reasons unnecessary to enter upon, we
do not at present disclose the name of the party implicated
in our recital, but we shall wait to see whether, when he
shall thus discover that his cruel and insensate conduct is
known, it has the effect of rousing in him a sense of its in-
famy and shame, and thereby induce him at once to alter it;
and if this should prove to be otherwise, we warn hint that
his 'name shall, be made public, and in a way, too, that,
without the possibility of mistake, shall bring down upon
him that full measure of reprobation and scorn he so justly
merits. And now to our narrative without further remark.
It was some five and a quarter years since that the indivi-
dual to whom we allude was riding a spirited young mare
by whom he was thrown; he escaped unhurt by the fall,
but, incensed by the circumstance, he immediately ex-
claimed to the poor animal, D—n you, madam, I'll make
you suffer for this ; I'll put you in solitary confinement for
seven years.' These were the words actually used by him,
as reported by a party who was in his company at the time,
and his threat he has literally carried into execution to the
extent of five years and a quarter, and for the greater por-
tion of that period in a manner, too, distinguished by the
most refined brutality. A three-stalled stable was selected
for tie solitary cell of the hapless creature, the
two other, stalls were occupied by horses, but the
back of that allotted to her was enclosed by board-
ing so placed that she could not turn round at
all, nor lie down but by the most painful effort and
the excoriation of her sides in the most horrid manner. This
treatment she suffered for more than three years, until at
length she effected some mitigation of her misery by kicking
down the boarding at the back of her stall. It would seem
that after this the abuser of -the poor creature did so far
relent in his feelings of vengeance towards her as not to re-
commit her to her Procrustean bed, but no further; finding
she had liberated herself from this, he perseveres in his sen-
tence -of " solitary confinement," and removes the other two
horses from the stable, thus giving her the entire range of
the building, in which to complete the remaining portion of
her doom. But we have not yet related, the full iniquity of
this most wicked proceeding. The sole food of the wretched
animal through winter and summer, front the commencement
of her incarceration to the present time, has been a scanty
portion of grass cut by her persecutor himself from a neigh-
bouring pasture, added to about halfa bolting of straw for her
bed ; the latter, however, we are told the poor animal first
eagerly devours in preference to the cold and raw grass, so
that not a shred of it is visible in the morning; and we are
further told also that about a twelvemonth since a lad, in the
employ of this inhuman man, commiserating the situation
of the mare, contrived one evening to make a trilling addition
to her miserable modicum of food, and for which he was
visited with instant dismissal. We have this relation from
those who have by stealth recently seen the doomed crea-
ture in her captivity, and they describe her appearance as
most deplorable, and akin to that of the caged beasts in a
menagerie, keeping constantly pacing round her narrow
prison-house like a demented creature, and bearing a numb
expression of suffering capable of melting every heart but
that of her cruel tormentor. We are further informed that a
pony has been punished by this person, for some unknown
reason, by the same species of infernal cruelty for the last
two years."
Upoa the appearance of this paragraph, although public
curiosity was much excited on the subject, no one but those
who were in the secret could know that the plaintiff was the
person who was aimed at, no name or locality, which would
afford a clue to the individual, having been mentioned ; but
the National Animals' Friend Society having sent down one
of their officers, Mr. Yewens, to investigate the matter, Mr_
Yewens called, on the 13th of December, upon Mr. Chalk,
one of the defendants, and requested him to say where the
party in question lived, in order that he might sift the cir-
cumstances of the case. By Mr. Chalk the officer was re-
ferred to Colonel Bund, a magistrate of the county ; but as
Mr. Yewens did not find that gentleman at home, he pro-
ceeded to the residence of the plaintiff, where he asked to see
and was shown the mare alleged to have been treated with
so much barbarity. The plaintiff, who is of retired habits,
and 65 years of age, called to his servants to fetch the mare out,
put a bridle on her, and ride her ; and upon his return to Worces-
ter, Mr. Yewens stated to Mr. Chalk that the mare had not
been ill-treated, as reported; that she was in good working
condition; that the account of the place in which she was
confined was not correct, as it was 'six feet wide, and 14 feet
long; and that when he saw her, there was straw under her,
and a whole heap of stable litter in the yard. Trusting,
however, it would seem, more to the accuracy of their
original informant than to the testimony of an eye-witness
like Mr. Yewens, the defendants on the 16th of December
published the following article in their journal
THE CRUELTY TO HORSES CASE.—The public will be
pleased to 'learn that the poor animals, viz., the mare and
pony, the subjects of the shocking cruelty denounced in
former Heralds, have been restored to freedom, or rather to
the usual condition of their species. Mr. Yewens, the officer ,
of the National Animals' Friend Society, has been engaged in
investigating the matter, and we believe that it has been
found that no prosecution can now take place, from the cir-
cumstance of the Act of Parliament requiring all informations
to be laid within 14 days from the date of alleged offences.
We have been informed that an individual who assumes that
he himself is the party against whose cruelty our remarks on
this subject were written, threatens to bring an action against
us for injury alleged to have been done to his character.--:we
suppose the exposure in our columns. We pretend not to
say how the chances might go as to a verdict in such an
action, but it is due to ourselves to state, that we publish the
case on the authority of no mere vague rumour, but front un-
questionable information ; and that our only object was the
rescue of two poor animals from a state of misery most har-
rowing to every one possessing the feelings of humanity.
Certainly he who could be guilty of the inhuman conduct that
we exposed did not deserve to have his feelings in any way
consulted ; but even in our exposure of his cruelty we had no
vindictive intention towards him, and we expressly stated
that we withheld his name in the hope that a tardy sense of
shame would lead him to abate his infamous treatment of the
suffering animals. That object has been attained, and now
our task is done ; but it would be a most foul disgrace to the
law of England, or of any civilised nation, were it possible for
law, in the circumstances that we have described, to be made
the instrument of silencing an honest journal—ia such a case
the liberty of the press would be but an empty name. At all
events, we have no fear of not standing justified by the world
at large as having done our duty, and done no more than was
most clearly justifiable on the grounds of common humanity
and public policy."
Notwithstanding the appearance of this paragraph, the
plaintiff took no steps against the Worcester Herald, as his
name was not mentioned, and in the following week, Dec. 23,
a report was published in that journal of a meeting at Glou-
cester of "The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals," presided over by the Lord Bishop of the dio-
cese, and furnished by ;heir own reporter. The report gave
an outline of the speech of a Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of
the Society, in which, after some introductory observations,
he alluded to the case of cruelty to a mare which had been
reported in the Worcester Herald. He then went on to say—
" Last week I went to Barnard's-green, near Great Malvern,
and there I ascertained that the person's name was Boilers,
and that he lived on some property of his own. I had an
interview with him, and induced him to show me where the
animal was confined. Certainly, my impression is, that
Bellers is not an accountable agent, and that is the most
charitable construction I can put on his conduct. die ad-
mitted the facts—nay, pointed out to me the very place
where he had confined the poor mare, and told me that he
removed her from one part to another, because she had
nearly hung herself. I ascertained also the nameof an in-
dividual who was in the service of this man during part of
the time the cruelty was practised. I found him out, and I
have in my possession a statement in writing. signed by the
lad who was in his service up to a recent period (Michael-
mas, 1842, as we undeistood). He there states that the ani-
mal was fed on grass and hay, and in such proportions as
were not sufficient to keep life within the poor creature. A
small quantity of straw was laid down as a bed, but it was
uniformly all eaten up. The lad states that he left the ser-
vice because he was ashamed at being connected with such
cruelty. Unfortunately, through a defect in the Act of Par-
liament, we are not able to bring the perpetrator of this act
of cruelty to justice; but I have prepared a report of the
case, and given his name and address, and forwarded it to
the Morning Herald, and, by means of its publication, the
man will deservedly meet with punishment in the public re-
probation which his conduct merits."
Upon receiving information of the appearance of this re-
port. the plaintiff, thus specially pointed out by his name
and residence, determined upon bringing an action against
the defendants, and a writ was issued on the 27th January.
Some negotiations then took place, and an apology was pro-
posed by the defendants ; but the terms in which it was
couched not being considered satisfactory by the plaintiff's
advisers, the proceedings went on, and upon the sth March
two pleas were delivered, one of which justified the publica-
tion of the libels in question, upon the ground that the ma-'
terial parts of the statements contained therein were true in
fact. That plea, however, only remained on the record six
days, as upon the 11th of March it was withdrawn, and no-
tice thereof sent to the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD addressed the jury for the defend..
ants, observing that his instructions did not require him to
say or insinuate one word against the character of the plain-
tiff, and if it was not his object to make money at the de-
fendants' expense, but really and truly to challenge them to
the proof of the imputations which had been cast upon his
conduct, he would have ample reason to be satisfied with the
result of that day's trial if ;the jury should only award him
moderate damages. He (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) was free
to admit, on'the behalf of tha defendants, that believing
the facts to be such as' had been reprisented to them at the
time of the insertion of the articles, they were satilfied; now
that the case had been thoroughly sifted, that they had been
misinformed. The first paragraph had been inserted with
the bond 'fidt object of retelling the animal, whose fate had
excited the sympathy of the defendants, front the durance in
which she had been kept; and he submitted that when they
