TnE ONO MALPRAcruH CAsE-Seyersi
weeks ago convict In the Ohio Penitentiary
was troubled with inflammation Of the eyes,
and was forced, against his will and protest.
to submit to an operation by physician OF
the prison, The result was total blindness
Of one eye: The physician, not satisfied with
the mischief he had caused. insisted upon
operating on the other eye. The man again
protested and resisted--but be was bound
and compelled again to submit, and the con-
sequence was total blindness Of the other eye.
What rendered the case more distressing was
that the poor fellow had been convicted OF
not very reliable testimony, and his time Of
service was on the eve Of expiring. The mat
ter was brought before the Legislature, and
referred to committee, who, after investi.
eating the facts, made unanimous report
accompanied with joint resolutions requiring
the Attorney General to institute criminal
proceedings against the Doctor and his abet
tors; also to prosecute civily for damages
to the patient and finally admitting the un-
fortunate patient to the Asylum for the
Blind"
