FaosT SENTEScEp.-This person was arragned
yesterday preparatory to receiving his sentence The
Recorder said it not absolutely imperative that
the prisoner should be placed in the prisoners box
He further observed tkat he had found that the bota
ncal practice of medicine had been sanctioned, and
even authorised in some instances by the Legislature
of this state. He therefore did not think it
ry for Frost to suffer any Imprisonment but would
only sentence him 10 pay fine of $780, The law
must be sats6ed-the community must be appeased
and therefore Frost must suffer some. The killing
of people by malpractice in medicine was a very bad
crime, and he was sorry to say was getting to be
pracused to great extent in this community.
