LEGGE V. THORPE.

This was a question on a foreign bill of exchange,
of which the defendant was the drawer. There hav-
ing been no value, notice was not required, but it was
moreover contended, that the act referring to the usual
formalities, a protest for non-acceptance, which is re-
quisite in cases where notice is required, was also here
unnecessary.
Lord EITENBOROUCH was of opinion, that a protest
was necessary, but that the opinion of the Court might
be had with less expence and trouble,
A verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to the
opinion of the Court on this point.

MARLBOROCGINSTREET.—Yesterday Doeothy Mar.
don, ten years old, and Mary Taylor, an elderly wo-
man, were charged by Mrs. Tracy, of York Build-
ings, Mary-la-bonne Road, with stealing a £4O note,
and half a guinea. It appeared that the child had
been taken under the prosecutrix's protection, through
charity, and that Taylor was her housekeeper. The
former confessed having given the note and money
to the other prisoner, the latter of which she said she
found on the drawing room carpet, though the pro.
secutrix swore it was taken from a drawer, and the.
note was proved to have been changed at a lottery.
office. There being no other evidence but that of the
child against Taylor, and as it was proved that she
herself -had changed the half guinra at a chandli is
shop, she was fully committed, and Taylor remanded.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Education
and Responsibility deviate from the General System by
chi selection of a particular branch, the sanction of long continued
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our practice to the eltelusive
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our plan
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we arc able, the ra-
vages dame complaints which are the most important in the
catalogue of human infirmities.
After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated
the sufferings of Siphylitic and debilitated Patients, and formed a
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of uneducated men,
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general practitioners.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten-
don, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, whether of a
recent or long duration: Ail kinds of debility, whether
arising from the habits of school-boys, or the indulgencies of ma-
ture age.—Numerous diseases are the result of ignorance, or
haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhoea, and it not unfre-
quently happens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indis-
cretion of an unguarded hour.
By a superior method such complaints are easily cured ; and
even where others have failed, we trust that we may presume to
offer a radical re-establishment.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this is-
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men, who,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties of
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care-
fully conceals his misfortune, it may be some consolation for him
to know, that although it be an object of doubt or uncertainty
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the
gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early countemctioa
of this languid state,and in thosecases, no great diffunhy will oscur.
But where this deficiency gas for years existed, a proper perse-
verance is indispernibly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks
of life, and to re-animate the constitution.

The secrecy which is en essential to our undertaking, and the
qualifications which we presume to state, form the basis of uur
pretensions, and in coincidence with inch this intimation isgiven
that Messrs.l.sion and Co. may be consulted personally, or by
