THE MUSWELL HILL OUTRAGE.  On Saturday morning Sir William Mac Cormack, with Doctors Hall and N'orshall, met atNorton Lees Muswell Hill, and after a brief consultation resolved to extract the bullet from the chest of Mr. Atkin, who was recently shot by a burglar. A gentleman from St. Thomas's Hospital attended and administered ether gas to the patient. The operatiou, which lasted nearly half an hour, was perfectly successful. Mr. Atkiu was kept in ignorance of the operation, which was decided liven on Friday by the medical gentlemen engaged. providing the condition of the patient on Saturday morning was favourable. The bullet Was extracted from the breast-bone and the cartilage of the rib. It almost rested upon the lung, the space between the bullet and this vital organ not exceeding the thickness of a piece of stout paper. A piece of the patient's coat was taken out of the wound with the bullet. The surgeons are much pleased wit't the success of the operation. Another bullet remains embedded at the bail of the groin; but the wound has healed, and the doctors have not yet decided what to do with it. The patient's condition is satisfactory. The family have received over 1,000 letters of sympathy.
