EDICO-LEGAL SOCIETY.

The Meco Legal Society met at the College OF Ply
sicians an Surgeons last evening.
Mr. Clate Bell delivered his retiring address. He re-
viewed tc abors of the Society during the period OF
his PRESIDENCY He spoke OF the practical usefulness
OF simar society in Paris, which has COM
mission to examine into abstruse ques-
tions + medical Jurisprudence. whose labors
are of great benefit TO the officers OF Justice,
A similarommssion here, he thought, might be ap-
pointed hd appointed it could greatly help the courts
in the soition OF many problems now puzzing them
Mr. Bell oncluded by introducing his successor TO the
presidenF, Professor Frank H. Hamilton.
After tanking the society for the trust reposed in
him, Prcnssor Hamilton read a brief paper on 1.-THE
Effect ofoss Of CONSCIOUSNESS the Memory of Pre-.
ceding hentsn His examination Of this subject-a
graver de, perhaps in law than medical science-led
TO the cdcuslcn that the memory either entirely
obliteraud greatly confused by any event which
suddenldepriyes person Of consciousness and that
this afeiion Of the memory was in measure pro-
portiona to the period OF Inconsistencies. Many
nterestg instances his personal practice cited
paper hinvited discussion of 1t.
Protector Yeamans said he considered the faculty
OF memry possibly the greatest mystery in nature
At leasit was the most difficult thing to comprehend
In discussing it they could only proceed basis of
fact A data not at hand he suggested that the
discussn be set down for a future occasion.
Anerrief reference TO the topic by other speakers
the sutrct was laid and the meeting adjourned
having rst voted thanks TO the retiring President for
past ahrs and to the incoming for his interesting
