eyes of the emit:toll pail .1 sinklu,l. Some told the Jary, that site artiou was brought to recover

IV. 10s. for medicines, and 4s. 101. for attendances.
Dot at all events, the Plaintiff was not entitled to
charge for attendances, as be had formerly delivered
in a bill for 121. 10s. for medicines only, and the
Defendant bad not engaged to ply him for attend-
ances. The only question for their consideration was,
whether the Defendant had been induced to allow
the Plaintiff to attend his wife, on the false and
fraudulent representation that he wool.: cure her
This was the case of a man, not a regular practi-
tioner, who held forth that he would cure a pert ea-
ter disease, and then referred to other cases which he
had treated with great seems. It appeared, how-
ever, that in the instances to which he had referred,
the patients, instead of Wag owed, had died ender
his hands. Now, so man had a sight to indeco
another to partisan any thing of him, whether me-
dicines, or other articles, by bolding oat false and
fraudulent hopes. The question Ihurefure was—Did
the Defendant allow the Plaintiff to furnish medi-
cines under false mid fraudulent pr..ants4.l? If tile',
were of that opinion, they would find a verdict for
the Defendant • but if they thoogist that the Plaintiff
hsd not practised any delusion, then they would give
him such compensation as they might consider rye-
sanahle.
