There has already been repeatedly published In the
HERALD during the past eight years the story of the
complaint made by Bridget Tormey against the Board
OF Health. AS trial Of the suit commenced yes
terday before Judge Daniels. holding Supreme
Court Circuit, epitome of the complaint is worth
giving. On May q. 1871, Mrs. Tormey. who then
resided at No. "a First street. taken sick with
the measles. One OF the physicians of the Board OF
Health pronounced the disease smallpox and at once
had her removed to the smallpox hospital on Black
well Island Here she examined by the attendant
physicians, who pronounced her disease measles. 1t
seems, however, that the latter physician In con-
sderaton of her having been sent there by the Board
OF Health, would not assume the responsibility. al
though both Mrs. Tormey ana her husband urgently
desired 1t, send her back her home, but, sick
sho was compelled her ut late hour Of the night to
walk long distance through wet grass to another
hospital the Island, where she was kept several
days. Upon this state of facts Mr. Tormey brought
suit against tho city for $4,000 damages. The de-
fence mainly technical The facts set forth
in the complaint are not denied. but 1t is set up
in the answer that the Board OF Health Is wholly
responsible and alone be held to liability for its
acts. That as for the Board Of Health 1t cannot be
held liable through failure. required by law in
most cases, to bring the suit within six months spd
finally that there Is any ground Of action the Board
OF Health should have been made party defendant.
The trial OF the suit was begun yesterday before
Judge Daniels holding Supreme Court, Circuit Col
