better, in shirt, than a quack. But as soon as a regular
bred man came they wished to get rid of him. It was,
bad enough to take physic when it was wanted, but the
plaintiff had no right to force it upon those who were
unwilling to have it. _ The plaintiff ought to hare gone,
away when required. Mr. Stratford seemed to claim a,
right to bleed and purge the King's subjects without,
their permission.

once a narrow escape .from• taking physic, and woe
betide him if ever he took any again. Where he lately
came from they had a coin called a cowrie, not the
hundredth part of a farthing, and that wouldbe sufficient
compensation for the plaintiff under these circumstances.
The Cuter JUSTICZ said, as there was no justification entered on
the record, the Jury must find a verdict for the plaintiff ; but he
should leave the amount of damages to their own consideration.
The Juryfound a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Faseltin,7.
His Lamm, said that he should certify that the costs should be
under forty shillings, as he was of opinion that the plaintiff ought
not to have brought the aeon.

COURT OF PECULIARS—JULY 12.
THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED BY PALMER V. TIJOU.
The arguments of Drs. LUSIIINGTON and DODSON, on
behalf of the prosecution, and Drs. JENWER and humu-
s:oat, having been heard, Sir J. NICHOL delivered his
judgment. He observed, that the Court had to regret
that the recommendation given on a former prosecution
had not been attended with success, viz. that of restor-
ing harmony to the parish of St. Mary, Newington, by
an amicable adjustment of this case out of doors. This
itrosecution originated in the same transaction as the
former case of Palmer v. Roffey, in an election of
churchwardens, for the year NM : while the polling
was going forward in the church, a violent quarrel took
place between Roffey, one of the churchwardens, and
Mr. Hurcombe, which continued at the polling-table
for a length of time ; the reproachful words of " coward"-
arid .4 informer" being repeatedly used by those per-
sons; which of the two began was not material, bin
they had both grossly violated the sanctity of the place.
This was followed by a still More disgraceful disturb-
ance in the north aisle of the Church, and it was during
this disturbance that the offence charged to Tijou wits
alleged to have been committed. •
The Learned Judge made a variety of observations.'
bearing on that • where Roffey was concerned, and at
length ordered Tijou to be suspended from entering the
Church fora week, and to be condemned in E. 50 costs.

ARCHES' COURT, JULY 12.
ATELIISON V. ATKINSON.

This was a cause (which was taken by the Court
shortly) of divorce and separation, by reason of cruelty
and adultery, promoted by the wife against her hus-
band. As the evidence was not read, and the question
was only on the admission of the libel, we are unable to
state any of the particulars, except that the last act of
cruelty charged was in 1814-15 ; that the parties coha-
bited together up to 1819; and chat between 1814 andl
1819 no cruelty whatever was charged; and that the]
acts of adultery which had come to Mrs. Atkiason'it
knowledge in 1815, had been by her &reins.
1 The Cotter, after hearing Counsel, directed the libel
to be reformed in four articles, pleading acts of cruelty
occurring nine or ten years back; and observed, that if
the adultery of the husband sh',uld be proved as laid,
there would be enough to "entitle the wife to the whole
of her prayer.
