thought it tight stud sufficient to look into the school of
Cline and Cooper fora surgeon to supply the vacancy
in the hospital. But he was the nephew of Sir Astley
Cooper. You will see by and bye what the libeller says
on that subject. Your do not know it set unless you
have read the newspapers. He has attempted to. prove
that ohich he has had the audacity to allege, that it was
ssetely through the insttumentslitrof Sir Astley Cooper
that Mr. Branshy Cooper was put into that situation,
without regard to his merits. Has he proved that? He
has proved the very reverse. You will doubtless remember
Mr. Harrison's evidence, upon which 1 say nothing, for
soy, time is not yet come to comment on that. I
have stated the history of Mr. B. Cooper, and the pro-
gress that has made him one of the Surgeons of Guy's
Hospital, which has made him subject of pity to
some; but he disdains all pity ; he appeals to this Court
for its interposition, to protect him from the malice of
this Editor, and the enmity with which he has at-
tempted to surround him. It is now time, Gentlemen,
you should know who the defendant is. I know no.
thing myself of Mr. Wakely, nor should I have known
him except for the occurrences of yesterday. I could
only then note the extreme ignorance and folly
which he possessed. But I am authorised, Gentlemen,
now to say, that he is as ignorant of his own professon
as he is of good taste. I speak of him only from yes.
terday, for I never beard of any of his operations. He
is known, however, I believe, to the public exclusively
for publishing the Lancet, which he tells you he estab-
lished. In doing that, it was for the purpose of pub-
lishing lectures, avowing that he does it for the purpose
of committing plunder on the property of others, for
the purpose of assisting himself. What, tientlemen,
are we then to hear it said that if Mr. Cline or Sir
Astley Cooper, or any other eminent surgeon, should
compile a course of lectures, and deliver them to the
pupils of his own class at the Hospital, who pay him
for attendance, and remunerate him for those labours,
that a particular paper shall rob him of all advantage,
and, without.his leave, make them public, so as to give
to all the pupils in the kingdom who desire to study
this art, all the advantages this Gentleman thought he
bad himself established? That he shall injure him and
. rob him, and gain tea times more than he does himself,
who has been at all the labour of compiling such lectures,
end which would make it unnecessary for them to at.
tend, because all the advantages del ived from the atten-
tion of the pupil to those lectures may be gained by
.reading this work? These contributions to the Lam*
make it worth 5 or `OOOl. per !mum. The Editor
has himself avowed. that it is a eibrk founded on rob-
bery and plunder. and that he receives contributions
(rum pupils at the hospital, Whom he calls men of
honour ; men who are iuducsd to betray their honour,
.and who, by making contributions, furnish that which
ought never to come out but by consent of the
,lecturera theipselves. But lie does not stop here._
He goes a step further, and I. am glad that I am ado
dressing Gentlemen of edocatios, and only wish suety
person to judge sightly of. this ; I ask whethes, what'
any man had taken great pains so get these Wetmore.
_which he had intended to publish himself, what he wool*
have endu ed if a pupil, Who had Wee allowed toralet
important notes, was to furnish them to a Gentian's'
who. meant afterwards to commit them to press?...
C•n any man suffer suss aisle as rhialto be mule of his
work.? Suppose you had a written, communication.
what would you say if the person whom you had in-
trusted with the key, of. youe cabinet had made extracts
from it, and sent it to the Lancet ? Would ya u not
think that man one of the basest of his kind?-.
And would you allow him to enter your doors
again? And yet these art the contributors, these are
the means by which he rolls in his carriage and laughs
at the patties. I bare then, upon his own word, to say,
that his work is a sort of binary raven, which lives by
plunder, and holds up its head by the injoi y which it ina
Ilia: on otheirs. Now, Gentlemen, what is it be has don"
to Mr. B' ansby Cooper ? In order that I Indy exploit
that, j must by and bye submit to yaarl am bound urge
through a process certainly new tome; bat don't believe
that Mr. Lambert, whatever he may. think of his
own powers, or the pupil of sit months, or the demon-
strator of Mr. Slee's schooli some of whom are so
longer pupils; don't believe that you have from them
any information whatever upon it. The defendant
has called but two witnesses who deserve the least
credit. One is Mr. Alderman Partridge, who is a
surgeon, and the other is a surpon, end also a
dealer in potatoes--(A.laugh). ',should have thought
that when I came to observe upon Mr. Alderman Par-
ttidge's evidence, which I shall do without his petiole-
sicn, that I should have thought better of bins. if there
had not been something in him that induced me to
think he knew something of the defendant. I should
have felt a great deal more had I. not thought that'
Gentleman had had the benefit of some others prom's

of the different situations of Surgeons—if • at this mo
ment any of the persons in that honourable situation
were to tell you that all their reputation was acqiiitbd
by such means—ell the esteem of the public may be
knocked down, and a man. if he has the misfortune
to cffend Mr. Wakely, the Editor, or sonic centre-
'botor to the Lancet, although a matt miy have that
tight feeling, and those refined sentiments which
would fit him for the honourable profession of a
surgeon, yet still, having offended this prom, he is
to be held forward to the public as unworthy of the
situation which he holds? What, if in the law, as in
every place where persons use employed in doing that
which enables them to publish their peculiar efforts
—if they were not to allow that lair competition in
a Court of Justice to determine who is the Advocate
which the public should employ; but that it should be
given beforehand by suppression and false tepresenta-
don, would not that de troy the honour of the Bar?
and would it not tend to degrade still more that ho-
nourable profession, if among themselves tersons were
to be found capable of making replrts t f their own?—
Such a thing cannot be found in the profession to which
I belong. But it has an example in the profession of
which we are treating to-day; for you have Mr. Lam-
bert, who is said to be a surgeon, getting his eight
guineas a month; and depend upon it, Mr. Lambert's
lame will depend much more upon the fime he gets
in that publication, than he will get from any other
honourable member of that profession. Such a
coarse it is that degrades a profession—such a
course it is, that, from my very heart and soul, I
wish such a profession could not be so tainted.—
I return now to the immediate subject of the operation
which Mr. Cooper has performed. He is now, 1 believe,
at the age of 34 or 35; he has performed many opera-
tions for the stone—many at Guy's Hospital ; his suc-
cessful operations have not been reported—l do not
mean to say that with respect to others of greater expe-
rience, or who have peibrmed greater numbers of such
an operation—l do not mean to contend for an instant
that he is greater than them, but 1 speak of Mr. Bransby
Cooper, who, from his experience, has performed many
of the operations most difficult and complicated—this
operation of the stone especially. Now, I shall endea-
vour to state to yvu this case particularly; but you
are not to understand that 1 am giving you a lec-
ture, or stating more of the anatomy of the case than
the course of this proceeding makes it necessary I shoold
be aware of. Gentlemen, there was a time when this
unhappy. operation was attended with almost certain
loss of life. The improved surgery of modertxtimes has
much improved the consequences of this disaster, so
that the number of those who die, in comparison with
those who are saved, is very few to what it formerly
was. I believe it is generally considered now that the
Dumber dying isabout two in fitteen—that is one to
wren and a half. Formerly
_they very rarely escaped.
Atone time the numbers were as one to four or five,
now it is one to seven and a half. This disorder some-
times attacks infants, end in that feral it is
‘.most easily
desk with. Many persons are of that iender age that
she stone may be retracted almost to a certainty with-
bet hazard. With others the danger increases ; but
I. believe that Mr. Bransby Cooper has performed
the Apperation on perhaps one of the oldest men
that eves suffered it—a person whose age was eighty-
seven. The operation is never performed on an adult
till he himself feels that the pain he suffers, or the ap-
rreheosion of the loss of-life, is greater than the risk of
the operation. Every man must kids* of that by his
siva feelings; these is something in the apparatus:more
teirtble than in the operation' itself—something that
operates on the "Wad against being the subject of it ;
and it is nothing but the extreme pain, or the apprehen-
sion of the loss of life, or under the hopes of being re-
lieved it, that gives a party courage to submit to
it. You easy suppose, therefore, that no surgeon was
ever called upon to operate unless under extremity,
where the patient says, 4.1 cannot live, Ismust die un-
der it; the urgency is so great that I call upon you for
instanl? relief. All judgment is at an end—you
must perfotat the operation,- or I must. die."
What course is left but to perform the operation ?
Now be it understood that, the particular practice
of different surgeons in some slight degtee varies;
but they are all employed for the same end.. It is
not any province here to dmoribe and remark upon the
merits of the different schools. You have Wed that the
French, hardly use any of the instruments that we do;
we use the instruments that we think best, and those
which *recalculated-to:give the least pain and uneasi-
ness-to the patient. The first operation, however, is to
ascertain the existence of the done. This is done by in-
troducing through the Urethra a. sound—. 4 small rod
of steel; this ihtroduced through the tender passage
finds its way tato the bladder ; then by turning it
about a little, if it encounters a hard substance,
striking it. with the' instrument, the operator heats
the sound of it. and ascertains the-existence of stone.
Mat bring. done, then comes the operation. For
the purpose• of the operation when I state to you
the practice,. you will understand me as stating it'
abject to any errors that may be corrected by and

went on to explain the mode of operring at some
length.. If tile forceps cannot find the stone, then
the s'onnd is introduced through the openi ig. and it is
a common practice. if the stone 'cannot be felt, to
try sounds of dilly/at forms. The stone May be
enfolded in 11 e Masan., or so suspended that it may
be extremely difficult to get at it. Then the operator has
reef nese to thilireoop, which is an instrument like a
tea spoon in Atra shape. With this an exertion h
made to touch stone, and thereby cause it to fall,
so that it may be got at by the foiceps ; now it
sometibus happens that there ate cases in which the
most XlOlllll operator is baffled m his exertions to reach
the stone,' or to find fit the position of it, and whete
the cause why its si u ition cculd not be ascertained has
been only di-covered upon a pose reorient esamination.
A tu•geon may be convinced thai the stone may be
lodged somewhere, but still in a position where he can-
not reach it by ordinary means. In that case othel
means must he resorted to, and a second incision may
become necessity. This is the usual ci use of the opera;
don; but I will come now to the riperation in question;
which was performed by Mr. Branshy Cooper. The
man had been sent up firm a oar ls's in Sussex. blow there
were eminent surgeons at 11:14111 on, and it was these-
fore only fair to assusie that the case was ode of great
difficulty, or the parish would not have gone to the ex-
pense of sending him to Londisn to be operated upon:
Hoiever, he was sent to the Hospital, and Mr. Bransby
Cooper saw him. Although he was a stbut man, with
a hectic complexion, Mr. Bransby Cover ascertained
that his kidneys were in I uisordered state, and that it,
was necessary to postpone the operation onfil this dis-
order was ab teed. It was accordingly postponed, until
the agony he sureied rendered the operation no longer
proper to be delayed, until in sh wt it most be performed
or the patient must die. Mr. Cooper made an incision,
and these was an immediate lbw of urine—not a gush—
tor under such circumstances no gush could ever take
place. owing to the collapsing s f the parts. He then in-
serted his finger, butcould only reach the prostategland,
and could not reach the bladder. This he spoke of at the
time. Feeling, however, by his finger in the prostate
gland, that the wound was in the right direction, he put
the forceps in to see if he had reached the bladder. This
was most easily to be ascertained by the forceps, for the
forceps being shaped like a pair e.f scissors, could easily
be expanded within the. bladder ; and it the stone was in
the ordinary situation, would easily lay hold of it; but
the forceps could not be expanded in a solid substance
like the prostate gland. Ali. Cooper, however, could
not find the stone, from its r xtraordinary situation. The
first idea was, that the previous indications were falla-
cious, and that there was no stone at lei, and Mr. Cooper
felt very anxious. as any perstronaight naturally be under
such circumstances. He then had the option to carry
his instraments all loons the bladder. to feel fur the
.tore,which would have required fence to make a secoirsi
incision; he chose the latter, and calling for Sir
Astley Cooper kt,ife, lie enlarged the wound. and
then again tried the forcepi, but without success:—
He then thought he would y with the sound if indeed
'there was a stone, and then, upon withdrawing the
sound, the curved point of that instrument stiuck the
SWIM This proved that the stone lay, as it were, upon.
the upper part of the pubes, and accordingly it became
necessary to resort to the bent f eceps, which, by me :ins
of its curvature, might touch the stone and bring it
down. The bent forceps, however, could not touch the
stone, and what then was to be done? The only mode
was to make a wound 10 the prostate gland, large enough
for the forceps to be introduced through it. Mr. Cooper
then used the gorget, but not the blunt gorget. It
was false to say that he had usedlhe blunt gorget; he
used the setting gorget, which is like a prolonged scoop,
and which has two advantages—first, that of making
the wound sufficiently large ; and. secondly, the
advantage of nor being able to make it too large,
for it cannot make A wound beyond a specific sire.
According to all the rules of science, the cutting gorge
will make a wound large enough to admit the straight
forceps,whicb, while the abdomen is pressed down, w ill
catch the 'tea This was the course adopted, and it
succeeded. It is perfectly true that Mr. Cooper did say
that he could not imagine what was the difficulty of
the case, but when he had di.covered the difficulty, he
had used the most skilt ul and the most prompt means
of overcoming it. The stone was flat and lay, as it
mete, upon the shelf of the pubes. There was no pro
trading end for the forceps to lay hold of ; therefore the
form of the stone and its position fully accounted for its
not bait caught by the forceps. What passed sib
sequently ? That which always takes place alter such an
operation, and which is due to science to be cart led into
effect—a post mortem examination and presrreation
of the parts. In the course of the operation Mr.
,Callaway had himself (and Mr. Callaway was admitted
to be a man of skill) thrust his finger into the wound, to
see if he could reach the bladder, but he could not do
so. It was an utter falsehood to say that any force was
used. He would call Mr. Callaway, who would tell
them that it was a most gross and calumnious exagge-
ration to say'that any force was used. On opening the
body, a Gentleman. who went to witness it for curiosity,
put his- finger into the wound, and could not reach the
bladder, owing to the depth of the peril sum. Dr.
Hodgskin had not said that the perineum was not deep,
but he bad said it was not deep in proportion to the
size of the man. The wound in the bladder precisely
corresponded with the external wound, except so far as
a small slip of no importance in the prostate gland hid
not hit the very spot of the original wound. There was
Cellular membrane between the bladder and the rectums,
which was very easily broken; but no breach had taken
place, and it was perfectly sound. The kidneys were
diseased, and that alone might have contributed to the
man'sdeath without theoperation having been per formed
at all. Mr. Hodgikin made an observation that this
membianesrai easily licerable. and yet it was perfectly
sound: As'sbon as Mr. Hodgskin turned his back, Lam-
bert took up the part, and exclaimed to these is an open-
ing brtwten the bladder and the rectum." upon which
Mr. Hodgskin, who is a Quaker. immediately replied,
" if tittle be an Opening, friend, it is thyself has made it,"
and he had made it. Mr. Kay would prove, and so would
Mr. Hodgskin, that there was no opening when they had
examined the parts immediately before. He should
move to them the stupid ignorance of Lansbeit, for if
be had sense, he would know- that if the opening was
made by the forceps, it would have been traceable by the
retrain:aced blood. But this was not the case ; there was
no eitsavasated blood. I now come to Mr. Longboat,
