To rats EDITOR or rya STATESMAN.

obserred to year Paper, u well as
1,1 some others, an nearest of a trial in the Court of
King's Renck, in which a verdict of 8001. was ob.
seined against a surgeon for want of skill; I cannot
avoid rebusitting to you some romark•thomon. lam
neither disposed to question the right of Juries, nor
the justice of any law founded on the security of the
he•lth of his hi,jesty's sohjoerr; bet it appeers to me,
that on this occasion, with all oh. respect which 1
is,. for the ono and voneratlon for the other, the
damages It* ennrwoe•; and that neither his Lordship
nor the Jury were scare of the injury which mast
*eerie to a most useful body of men, if such deci-
sion were to be made a ground of Were convictions.
lam loaned to think that neither base viewed the
matter In its tree light, if the Report as it is given be
correct.

I have always presumed that Ilse spirit of our lass
is sell as the light of reason, equally look to the
'mention of the art. Now, I would put it its she
understanding of •oe, whether, after the best 'semis*
of a rears'ojedgesent, where too negligence nor inst-
itutions hes been shown, heareght to be made answer-
able by law for any error which holosy have coin.
erstiosiolly committed ? It is tn. numb, I conceive,
either for the Lord Chief Justice, or an oreinary
Jury, to pronounce on the matter of professionel
s►ill, where the practitioner has brew admitted by
his ewe brethren, as a fit and proper perms for the
',semis, of his sot. Th. opinion of my Lord EL-
sissisoßottuti, it is well known, perfectly coincided
with this, Ina cause very similar to the present.
'llse guarantee against the ignorance and @mita-
fetritvt of Medical Practitioners, ought to be placed
in the College of Surgeons, who should admit none to
she privitege of a diplomas, who are not properly
qesliked to practice. The privileges of this ti.uly tit
men ought to be protected from pretenders and em-
piric' by the interference of the Legislatere, which
they have hitherto beru unable to obtain; the health
•f the Public would by this means be sectored, and
the Medical Practitioner no longer liable to the in-
jury, if not loss of hia character end reputation.
