'LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'tiBENCH, MARCH 5.

QUACK DQCTORS.
HUBS V. PHELPS.

The plaintiff, in this case, is the Proprietor of
a Medicine intended for the cure of Cancers, 'de-
nominated " The Sovereign Remedy," and he
brought his action against the defendant, a
warehouseman, for the sum of 151. for attend-
ance on, and medicine furnished to his wife, who
was afflicted with a •cancer.in her breast. It ap-
pealed that the defendant' had employed the
plaintiff at the rate of ss. a visit, and, beyond
that stun, he was to receive remuneration for such
medicines as he might find it necessary to
supply his wife with, during the progress of her
cure. He attended her for-a considerable time,
and was paid, for medicine and attendance, up-
wards of 121. The defendant's wife did not, how.
ever, grow better, mid in consequence Mr. Hors-
ley, the defendant's brother-in-law, called on him,
and stated that his visits were productive of no
good effect, enquiring, at the-sante time, whether
he could refer to any persons whom he had cured.
Plaintiff said, he had cured Mr. Walker, of the
Percy Coffee-house, of a cancer in his mouth, and
that he had also performed a cure on the diughter
of Mr. Est, of Tottenham-court-road, who was
afflicted with a cancer in her arm. He still con-
tinued his visits to Mrs. Phelps, till he ran up a
bill of 121. 10s. for attendance, and. 41. !Os.' for
medicine, fur which be sent in his bill. Defend-
ant refused payment on account of the want of
skill in the plaintiff, who thereupon brought the
present action.

The plaintiff having proved his visits, and the
delivery of the medicine—
Mr. SCARLEfT, for the defendant, contended
that die plaintiff was not entitled to recover, inas-
much as he had 'no 'skill in curing the disease
which he was employed to eradicate.
To prove this, Mr. SCARLETT called witnesses,
who deposed, that Mr. Walker, and the infant
daughter of Mr. Est, whom the plaintiff declared
had been cured by him, had- both died, and were
thus effectually freed from all diseases. In each
case considerable sums of Money had been paid to
the plaintiff. It was further stated, that the de-
fendant had called in two surgeons, after the
failure of the' plaintiff, who directed the breast. of
Mrs. Phelps to be cut off, which operation had
saved Ler life.

Under these circumstances the Jury returned
verdict for the defendant.--(British Press.)

FOR" THE SUN.

LETTER 11.
(T'irle THE SUN of Thursday last.)

11a EDITOR,—W.O are told that " the &cites-
tantisrn of the King is established," e. consti-
tuted and forming a part of our Constitution,)
" by the Law of the land ;"—trueL-but that very
Low they virtually petition to be-entirely repeal-
ed—and insulfus by stigibatizing it, as at ',resent
existing, a " Code of BAD and BARBAROUS policy!"
Let us now take an instance of Popish false-

hood and exaggeration .combined. We are pretty
plainly told,that the present state of our Consti-
tut ion effeamette "deprivation of MILLIONS OF THE
RIGHTS of Citizens !!" This tieeds no comment
—truly in itself it is an host.

Ho%Vevey much this Catholic Advocate may be

disposed to treat the Protestant fears sod argu-
Menti in thii momentous question with levity,
my fellow Protestants mill agree with me that Pa-
pal authority► and Roman Catholic ascendancy
are not, by us at least, to be esteemed as vision•
ary " bugbears." WE HAVE FELT their influence
too cruelly.'—too suhstataiolly, to believe this ; they
have not paSied 'and left no wreck behind ; we
have NOT experienced the benefit, but we have felt,
and we shall feel, IF ever they gain ascendancy in
this kingdom, that " the OLD MAN the Pope,".
unfortunate epithet this, it reminds one of the old
man which is corrupt, &c. in Ephes. 4, 22.) to
;;ether -wi►h hiS followers, are
,the same in Prin-
ciple and practice as they have been of old—sent-
per eadeni.

I confess myself unable to see but one construc-
tion which the following sentence will bear in its
explanation; it tells us that'" now comes on the
Regent, in his sole attribute of Defender of the
Faith, i. e. the CATHOLIC FAITH, and as FIERCE
as the eighth Henry BEFORE HIS CONVERSION 3"
now, the Constitution under the Bth Henry kfore
his conversion (to adduce cnly one instance) de-
clared it ABSOLUTE HERESY, and adjudged the pu-
nishment of BURNING, to all who 'denied (that pre-
posterous and blasphemous doctrine of the Itomish

Church) the real presence oh Chi ist's body in the Eu-
charist, superadded to confiscation of property.
Now, Mr. Editor, I take it to he no very ambiguous
or trifling charge upon' our Noble l'aaNce, that he
is tire Defender of the Roman Catholic faith, and
as fierce" a bigot as the Bth Henry BEFORE HIS
conversion !"

I pass slightly over the Catholic admission that
the disastrous consequences which we foresee to
follow Popish participation in power are " barely

possible cases," which, admitted from such a guar-
ter, must render us doubly suspicions of their

gre6t protability.:—alvi also over the supposed bu
irrelevant parallel in the case of the Roman co.
with*, to notice a more material point, to which.
