MELANCHOLY CASE OF DEATH FROM
HYDRoPHoBIA. In the early part of last
week, surgeon, named Griffith, came to
London on business, and having been ac-
quainted with inspector Rogers, he waited
upon him with a request that he would rec
ommend him to a lodging during his stay
in town, intimating that it was his intention
to return to Sussex in week or two. Mr..
Rogers accordingly procured him lodging
near his own residence, and left him on
Wednesday evening last, apparently in
the enjoyment of excellent health and spir-
its. On the following day, Thursday, he
was sent for, and found the unfortunate
gentleman apparently laboling under the
effects ofinsanity. He spoke incoherently,
and, at intervals, was so excited, that it be-
came necessary to place him under some
restraint, for which purpose Mr.. Rogers
had him conveyed to the police station in
Covent garden, where his symptoms be-
came so alarming, that, Mr. Thomas, the
superintendent, considered it necessary to
call in medical advice; and accordingly
the attendance of Mr.. Beames, a surgeon,
having been procured, that gentleman i'm
mediately pronounced that the patient was
laboring under the effects of hydrophobia.
The dreadful malady from that time became
more strongly developed and the cries,
which at times escaped from the unfortu-
nate sufferer, were described as the most
agonizing. At the sight of water, or any
liquid that was offered to him, he broke
out into the most frighful paroxysms, in the
intervals of which he begged of those
around him not to fail writing to his friends
to tell them bow he had died, and then he
would exclaim, My God, my God, is it not
dreadful death TO die" During a tran
quill interval Mr.. Thomas asked him when
he had been bitten, to which he replied,
with great difficulty, "About two months
ago. here, here" pointing to the lower part
of his leg. The surgeon advised that no
time should be lost in sending him to the
hospital, suggestion which W as mentioned
to the Unfortunate gentleman himself, who
readily consented, and desired that he
might be sent to the Middlesex hospital, OBJ
serving that he had walked it when a pupil
His request was complied with, and in a
few hours after his arrival at the station he
was conveyed from thence in coach, and
placed in the hospital aforementioned
where, notwithstanding the very best care
and advice, the effects of the fatal disorder
became hourly more strong, and on the
night of Saturday, terminated in the death
OF the unfortunate patient, whose suffering.
were the most dreadful to the last. The
appearance of Mr.. Griffith only the da,
before the breaking out of the dreadful dis
order, was that of robust health, his counte
nance being forid and his spirits high

COLD WATER. During the last week it
has been my painful duty to witness seven
cases of disease from drinking cold water,
Of which tive have died and five recovered.
In each of the cases of death, bleeding had
been resorted to as a remedy, previous to

where the previous habits of the patient
may seem to require it. During a number
OF years, my experience has taught me to
Delleve that warm lamentations applied to

are the great remedies to be relied on: ali

OF thirteen years practice, has confirmed me
IN the opinion that bleeding is injurious in
cases OF disease occasoned bv drinking

several cases have occurred, Terminating

Constructive CRIME. At the close of
a short essay in the Philadelphia Journal of
Law, the following is given as an illustra-
ton of constructive crime, from which "the
perfection of human" reason does not seem
to be quite exempt:
+" 1t man obtain horse, from keeper of
a livery stable, under the pretext of hir
ing him for day, but at the time fraudu-
lently intending never to return the horse,
and he be subsequently caught and arrested
ne can be indicted, tried and punished as a
thief
If another man Obtain a horse in like
manner, with only this difference. that he
got possession of him, under the pretence
Of buying him, such man will be guilty only
OF breach Of contract and will not be La
BILE to be indicted, tried, or punished as n
thief.
Hence it will appear that to play the
rogue with safety, not only cunning is re-
CURED, but no small degree of shrewdness
and knowledge. DR.. johnson could not
call this distinction without difference. y
