MARIBOROUGIISTREET.
On Saturday, Mr. Cox, a respectable solicitor, who ap-
peared at this office some days ago, with a young female of
good connexions, named May, to prefer a charge of fraud
against two persons called Drs. J. and G. Jordan, resid-
ing in Newman-street, Oxford-street, and having another
establishment also in the same neighbourhood, for the sale
of a medicine which they advertise under the title of the
"Cordial Balm of Rakasiri," attended again before Mr.
Drell, the sitting Magistrate, accompanied by Miss May
and a female relative of her's, and, after waiting in the
office for upwards of an hour before he made known his
immediate business, Mr. Cox addressed the Magistrate,
to the following effect :
He held in his band, he said, a newspaper, in which
there appeared a report of a speech made, or purporting to
have been made, at this office, by Mr. Adolphus, on Wed-
nesday last, on behalf of two persons calling themselves
Dre. J. and G. Jordan, in which, if the report was a correct
one, Mr. Adolphus had used very improper and unwar-
rantable language respecting the conduct of hits (Mr.
Cox), and of his client Miss May, who stood by his side.
Mr. Cox here read from the paper in question the report to
which he alluded, and said that he had good reason to
believe that some of the language there put into the mouth
of Mr. Adolphus had not been used by that learned gentle-
man, because, in the report of the same proceedings as given
in the Times journal, no such expressions were attributed
to him ; and the report in the Time: he believed to be the
faithful one, from the uniform correctness that belonged to
every report that appeared in that journal,—always given
with an accuracy, and an adherence to truth and justice,
which scarcely ever left to any reasonable person the
slightest ground for complaint, and he (Mr. Cox) was
glad of that opportunity of expressing, in union, he believed
with the public at large, his humble admiration of the
able, impartial, and honourable, manner in which that
distinguished journal was conducted. Putting, however,
Mr. Cox said, the most mild character on Mr. Adolphus's
speech, in favour of his clients the " doctors," it appeared
that the learned gentleman had dared hint (Mr. Cox), or
his injured client Miss May, to come forward and substan-
tiate any charge of fraud against the doctors, and had hurled
defiance at them because they had not preferred a bill
of indictment, as they had expressed an intention of doing,
at the sessions, against the Messrs. Jordan. Now, to show
how utterly groundless this defence wag, and hew entirely
disposed and ready he, Mr. Cox, was, not only to meet
the " Doctors," but to substantiate his accusation against
them, he had, Mum he saw the defiance of Mr. Adolphus
in print, written a letter, a copy of which he held in his
hand, to the " Doctors," appointing to meet them that day
at one o'clock, before the Magistrates at this office, when
he should be prepared to prove on oath every syllable he
had alleged against them, and let them then defend them-
selves if they could. Ha had now, however, waited up-
wards of an hour after the appointed time, in the anxious
expectation that the Doctors and their Advocate would
arrive, but as they had not made their appearance, be took
it for granted that they were the persons who did not
" dare" to appear in the case. Mr. Cox here read the
copy of the letter be had addressed to the " Doctors,"
calling upon them to appear at this office and meet his
charge. He had also, he said, written to the " Doctors,"
telling them that he should forthwith bring an action
against them for the recovery of the money they had ob-
tained from Miss May, unless they immediately returned
it, which they refused to do, but said that it the lady had any
of the medicine left, they would take it back from her and pay
her for it in proportion to the quantity she returned, at tbe
same price that she had given for it. This, however, he
(Mr. Cox), knew to be a mere manoeuvre, to ascertain
wheth -r or not Miss May had swallowed all the medicine, or
had any of it left by which an exposure of its vile ingre-
dients might be made public. As it happened, Mr. Cox
said, there was abundance of the stuff left for the purpose
of analyzation, if such experiment were again necessary,
after the repeated exposures that the mixture had met with
in several medical publications, but unfortunately these
publications were not very generally read amongst others
than medical men. Here Mr. Cox read from a number
of a medical work called the Gazette of Health, an ac-
count of this " Bahn of Rakasiri," which stated that the
writers had examined carefully the coi dial Balsam of Ra-
kaairi, as it was called, and found it to be an ardent spirit
slightly flavoured with the essential oil of fir, and that
from its high stimulating qualities, it is of an extremely
dangerous tendency, particularly in consumption, apo-
plexy, cholera morbus, and all other complaints where an
increase of the circulation is injurious ; and the description
of it concluded by stating, that the first cost of the contents
of an I la. bottle of this trash is only Gd. " Was it not
monstrous," Mr. Cox said, " that these wen should be
rolling in their carriages and wallowing in wealth, while
men of high education, who had laboriously, and at a
great expense, studied their profession, and made them-
selves masters of medical knowledge, were living, in very
many instances, in obscurity, and scarcely able to supply
the means of living respectably? But he (Mr. Cox) was
determined not to rent until he had opened the eyes of
the public respecting these doctors and the abominable
stuff they were drenching their victims with. He had
already given them notice of action, and into a court of
law he would most assuredly drag them, and expose the
abominable stuff they were selling for medicine. Mr.
Cox here produced a bottle containing a portion of the
" Balm of Rakasiri," which, he said, he was about to sub-
mit to analyzation by several chemists of the first charac-
ter, wile had offered him their services for the purpose, so
that he would not content himself as to the nature of its'
component parts with the description of something be had
teed from the Gazette of Health. Nothing could be:
more false, Mr. Cox said, than to say that he or the com-
plainant, Miss May, would not "dare" to go before the
Grand Jury at the Sessions, and prefer an indictment
against the " Doctors Jot dan." The true history of the
case, he said, was this :--When Miss May first discovered
that she had been imposed upon by these men for
the stuff they sold her, she applied to them to return
leer money to her, as she had ascertained that what
they supplied her with as medicine to effect a care
of her complaint was doing a vast deal more of injury
than otherwise, and reminded them that they had once
before, as she had just then learned, been compelled to
disgorge at Marylebone police-office a sum of money which
they hail obtained by similar means from a poor man, and
said that she should apply for some mode of redress if they
did not give her back her money. To this the "doctors"
answered, " that if Miss May attempted to take any such
step as that man had taken, that they would disclose the
real nature of the complaint she was labouring under to
her friends, which would ruin her character," " What
do you mean ?" indignantly asked Miss May of them;
"the only complaint ander which I um labouring is a
severe cough arising from asthma, and that my friends
know already, and they shall know, too, the threat that
you have dared to utter." Miss May accordingly informed
her friends forthwith of what had happet,ed, gpd he (Mr.
cox) as their solicitor was consulted ; he immediately ad-
vised an adoption of the same means as had recovered his
ipency for the poor man at Marylebone-office, as his chief
desire was to get back her IN. for Miss May, which it
was nut convenient for her to throw away in such a
manner, and he therefore came with her to this office,
istrate in the
acansed. apSpliriedGfetOrrgtelleFtat:rsal'itatt,meehootaf•evtehre, l‘aidagvieeil him, as

consulting with Mr. Stafford at the Sessions-house, Mr.
Stafford told him, that although he undoubtedly had very
good grounds to prefer the bill, yet that his doing so would
weaken his clear and undeniable right to recover the money
for the young Woman by civil action; and upon thii
presentatirin, which he thought a very' just oite front Mr:
Stafford, he waved the' indictment altagether, and iletr:

Mr. Wooler attended as her solicitor, and the evidence
relating to the articles of cabinet work which she obtained
from Mr. Moorwood's counter in the Soho Bazaar, Oa
the body-linen articles of dress which were sent in by jr.S
Perry, of Regent-street, was re-taken, that he might heir
it. Mr. Avery, the silversmith of Bond-street, was also
re-examined respecting the conversation in which Mr*
Wihnet told him, she was going on Sunday night to Pic-
cadilly to see Mr. Titehbonrn off for Paris, and then on to
visit her aunt in Great Surrey-street; and Mr. WOOlO
asked him if in the course of that conversation Mrs.
mot did not tell him she was under some difficulties, whirl'
rendered it necessary for her to leave the sountry until thei
could be surmounted ? Ile said she owed him a small sutra'
rather snore than 21., and she said she was in debt with
others, but she expected to receive some money very woo)
and that would enable her to pay.
Mr. 11.s.wtssrsoss said, Mr. Hoskins and himself enter
tained no doubt that what she had done amounted to
felony, and she stood committed for trial under Mr. 141*Qr'
wood's charge, and would be detained to answer the others;
but as the Old Bailey Sessions were distant, provided et&
ficient bail to secure the ends of justice was offered,
would be accepted ; and to this end he asked Mr. Week(
whether she was a married woman, and he said she WO
, not.

She will be brought up on Wednesday bo have the depe
sitione read to her ; and if she is prepared to give bill,
herself in 5001. and offer two approved sureties in 2501.

desk, Buckeridge found four 101. notes. -Mr. Titchbouro
