AMITODUCAL SCIIISLIG
Lord SUFFIELD bad a Petition to present upon a subject
which had already occupied much of-their Lordships' attention.
His Lordship did not conceive that iu the present seats. of public
feeling any Legislative enactment could operate to remove the evil
complained of. The only suggestion he bad heard, he had an in-
superable objection to,.that was to alter the law which, as respected
the mode of punishment, distinguished murder front all other
crimes. Torte was, however, it his iofortuation was correct, one
anomaly in the law which ought to be corrected. Surgeons were
liable to the censure of the lowa, in the treatment of their patients,'
they manifested any deficiency of skill, while at the same time they
were, as he understood,. subject to punishment for having. dead
birdies in their possession-for the porpoise of disseition. This was'
a* inconsi.tency of the Lair which ought to be corrected. The
