pang, observing at the sometime - that there was a
measure in progress in another place, which would
probably soon bring under the consideration of their
Lordships, questions connected with those which
formed the subject of the presetsr Petition. It was
stated among other things in the Petition (which v: as
read by the Clerk), that the Company had eartharkA
a capital of 800,0Uttl. in the concern ; that had
been put to great expense, in consequence of the
Pavement Act of last Session requiring them to lay
down iron instead of wooden pipet; that they desired
only to obtain a fair profit on their capita: ; that they
had been under the necessity of narrowing their Ope-
rations, and concentrating their powers, in order to
enable them the better to supply the inhabitants of
the districts near their' works with water, and to
afford them security against fire; that they were
surprised to find that what they had done in this re-
vett had excited an alarm of their having ent‘red
into a combination with other Companies, which v..ak,
not true. The Petitioners therefore prayed, that their
Lordships would be pleased to appoint a Committee
to inquire into their proceedings and conduct,.under
the Act by which they were incorporated.
The Earl- of LAUDERDALE thought himself
called upon to take some notice of this Pelitio.n. In
consequence of what had been said a few days ago
by a Noble Earl not then in his place (Earl Grty.ee.
nor), he had taken the liberty of- stating his opinion
on what appeared to him to be very extraordinary
conduct on the part of certain Water-works. There
Water-works, he understood, had, by agreeing to
form a junction, violated that principle of fair com-
petition, to establish which had been the object of
Parliament in passing the Acts by which they were
incorporated. The day after he had stated his opi-
nion on this subject, he received a letter from a Gen-
tleman, who, he understood, WAS the Secretary of the
Petitioners, in which that Gentleman expressed his
surprise that any statements of the kind which it ap-
peared had been made, should have been brought
forward under a total want of information. Though
this was not precisely the way in which a Member
of that Ilouse ought to be addres•vd in reference to
any subject which he might think it his duty to
notice, yet he thought it right to see the writer
of the letter, and had some little conversation with
him. The result, however, was, that iustetd of
finding his previous opinion wrong, his Lordship
was more firmly convinced of the truth of the fact,
that the Companies had comhined to divide the
Metropolis between them. The inhabitants suffered
severely from this co:nbin:ttion. lie I.ad roctived
a letter from a householder in one of the districts
supplied by these combined Compa•lies. This per-
son had first paid '2Bs. a year I, ~ his water, but
another Compf.,ny offered to sepply him for 2-15.—.
On 'his stating this to the Compauy by whom he ..vas

DR. JAMES S FEVER POWDER AND ANALEPTIC
PILLS.
CAUTION TO TIIE PUBLIC.

MR.. NEWBERY, my late Agent for the sale of
these invaluable Medicines, having failed in an C
nt
he made in the Court -of Chancery, founded upon an untenable
claim of Joint-Proprietorship, to compel me to continue supply-
ing hint, (notwithstanding my disinclination, originating in his
conduct towards my family), and consequently being no longer
supplied with them from me, is now issuing forth to the world,
compositions of his own manufacture, under the same titles. I
feel, therefore, that I owe it to the Public, to caution them
against the consequences °retaking such eothpoiitions under the
erroneous impression of their being Dr. James's ; and to apprise
them, that as a certain mark by which to distinguish the genuine
medicines, each Packet and Box will in future bear a label
signed with my name, in my are hand-wrhing.
I beg, further to state, that the Medicines of Dr. James with
which the Public boa been supplied, through Mr. Newbery
and his father, for seventy years, were never prepared, or could
be prer.red, by any person but the Inventor, my grandfather,
and his Sons, my father and my uncle Mr. G. James, (by the
latter in trust for me, until I arrived at the age appointed for
the recipe being :tended over to me). I feel assured, therefore,
that no thinking person will venture on taking 'Mr. Newbery's
novel and tr.. :I?si competitions, which, in his advertisement,
Mr. Newberg cenfesses he has only prepared for the last few
months : any one who may unfortunately have tried them, will
be quickly sensible of the diZerenceef their effect, from that of
the genuine medicines, now prepared by me, as they were by
the late Dr. James, my grandfather, himself. And this will be
the best re.lutation of Mr. Newbery's insinuations and laborious
endeavou'rs to persuade the Public of their identity.
Sieve the facts I have already published, thereby clearly de-
monstrating that my grandfather never communicated to any
person out of his family the secret of preparing the celebrated
Medicines in question, I deem is unnecessary for me to notice
any thing that Mr. Newbery has stated, but his assertion in a late
Advertisement, " that the Analeptic P"s have for some years
been prepared in a negligent and imperfect manner."
This is an assertion not founded on fact, the Pills having been
prepared invariably in the same manner by the above.mentieneei
persons riceessivey. No complaints were ever made by the
purchasers in Bruton-street; nor did Mr. Newbery himself ever
make any complaint, until the time of the Chancery suit. Mr.
Newbery's object in commencing this salt was to compel me to
supply him per/elute/I.y with Cum verb, Pills whzeit he nolo eruiraverrs
to depreeiste.—The truth is, that Mr. Newbery, finding himself
incapable of making his !even in appearance,) similar to the
genuine Analeptic Pills. rather than admit his incompetence to
imitate them, affects to say, the genuine are incorrectirreenu-
lectured. The Public wail readily perceive the ream,., of the
anxiety manifested by Mr. Newbery thus to account, in some
way or other, hcwev,:r absurd, for his Pills being of a different
colour from the germine : indeed they are so unlike, as well in
their properties as colour, that with peculiar propriety may pur-
chasers (as his Advertisements request) ask for " Mr. Newbery's
Pills," for they are certainly not Dr. James's.
Why does not M. Newbery disuse the name of Dr. Janus al-
together, and tntredtece his Pills and 'Powders to the world as his
own nostrums (which they are) under his own name?
