Marine Court.

Before Judge Shiefelen.
A Delicate Case-leals ps. Medieine-Is this cas-
the plaintiff was young and fair widow lady, named
-, residing in Houston street, and the defen-
dant young son Of Galen, whs had boarded at the
domicile of the widow for nine weeks and some odd
days. The dinners, teas and the champagne suppers
were not denied. nsr yet the sleeping, but then the
ungallant defendant up, that the plaintiff
his advice on many uncomfortable matters that he
had felt her pulse sundry times, prescribed for her
twice, and bled her than once-in
of which delicate attention he thought he ought not
ceived. New the fair widow thought this doctrine
more unpalatabe than even the plaintiffs physic,
and she accordingly took the advice of a brcfIess
barriser, who boarded with her. and sued the son Of
Galen.
The widows counsel urged to the Court, that his
client had never asked for the advice of the defen-
daDt, and that if any advice had been taken il must
have been advice gratis, and could not be pleaded
a bar to her suit. Secondly, that if the defendant
doctor at all, he was not under the statute
for he had neither filed copy Of his license with the
clerk OF the county, nor obtained a certificate Of
membc rship from the County Medical Society, all
Of which he bound TO do, and prove il ere he
could recover
To sustain this position the learned advocate made
a most erudite oration TO the Court, and wound up
by saying that, IL a man in possession Of the
learning Of Hypocrates, the science Of Esculapus
even knew how to concoct the eliza vita, he ought
not TO charge for advice until he was called in
larly; and that though this defendant
was as skilful Phiietaus, and like him was able
to tn cure the wounds caused by the poisoned arrows
Of the Grecians still he ought not to practice with
out diploma!
This burst Of eloqucnce made the defendants law
yer look like gone goose, and he did sot rise TO
reply, the Court gave judgment for the fair wdew,
who retired arm in arm with her learned advocate.
