Half screened by its trees, in the Sabhath's calm smile, The Church of our Fathers—how meekly it stands 0. villagers, gaze on the old hallow d pile- It was dear to their hearts, it was raised by their hands. Who loves not the grocud where they worshiped their God ? Who loves not the place where their allies repose ? Dear even the daisy that blooms'on the sod For dear is the dust out of which it arose. Then say, shall the Temple our forefathers built. Which the storms of long ages have battel'd in vain. Abandaned by its, from supineness or guilt, 0, say, shall it fall by the rash aud profane? No perish the impious hand that would take One shred from its altar, one stone from its towers The pitre blood of martyrs hath flowed for its sake, And its fall-if it fall—shall be reddened with ours!

CHIT CHAT. A meeting of (we know not how to designate the assembly) under the auspices of Mr Wakley, was held, on Friday, on the suhjeet of criminal law, with the ad- ministration of which the gentlemen who were present seemed naturally dissatisfied, and no wonder, tor our reporter assures us their faces were very familiar -at public offices and station houses. Mr O'Connell haran- gued the motley groupe in his usual strain; but the Radical heat, and may we be allowed to add, the RadlCal moisture, got the better of our functionary's duty to his employers, and he was glad to retreat with the loss of a pocket handkerchief.

'Tis well-when O'Connell is dictator—the Russell's will be the ready fasces. The preamble to the patent by which the Earl of Bedford, father of the great and good Lord Russell, was created a Duke, amongst other reasons for be- stowing this honor gives this as Hot the least, "that 'he was the father to the Lord Russell, the ornament of his age, whose great merits 'twas net enough to trans- mit by history to posterity, but they (William and Mary) were willing to record them in their royal patent, to remain in the family as a monument conse- crated to his consummate virtue, whose name could never be forgot so long as men preserved any esteem --or sanctity of manners, greatness of mind, and a love to their country, constant even to death. To solace there- fore his excellent father, for so great a loss to celebrate the memory of so noble a son, and to excite his worthy grandson, the heir of such mighty hopes, more cheer- fully to emulate and follow the example of his illus- trious father, they entailed this high dignity upon the Earl and his posterity," &c. Can Lord John Russell-the tool of O'Connell, read this eulOgium on his ancestor without a blush? If he can, "I We'd rather be adog and bay the moon than such a RUSSELL." -The quantity of Champagne consumed at Cam- bridge at the installation was unprecedented. 40 doz. corks were drawn at Sydney, Sussex.

GLAMORGANSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. Before the Honorable Sir J. PATTESON, Knight, Justice of His Majesty's Court of King's Bench. (Continued from our last.) NISI PHILS. Richards v. Thomas and Others.—Mr James opened the pleadings. The declaration stated that the defend- ants bad broken into the plaintiff's house, aud had assaulted the plaintiff. The defendants pleaded-Not Guilty to the issues joined. inti- Chilton, for the plaintiff, said that his client was most unquestionably indebted to the defendant for having summoned a'Speci il Jury, an advantage which his poor client cotxUl not have expected. In his ex- perience it had always been proved, that when in any contest between a rich man and a poor one, a Jury were composed of men ol equal rank and wealth with the rich nmn, the poor man had always received ample justice; and when he looked upon the highly respecta- ble and intelH" eirt men whom he had then the honor to address he could not for one moment doubt that his unfortunate client would have patient attention and justice at their hands. The learned gentleman said it was extremely unfortunate for him that the first case 'n which ho-hnd.tho honor to address a Special Jury of Glamorganshire, was olle, which he regretted to say, if his instructions were correct, would disgrace the rudest barbarians. The learned gentleman then detailed the facts as stated in evidence, and after the clerk of the Court bad read the notice served by the defendant on the plaintiff to quit, dated 31st July,. 1832, and di- rected to Richards, on behalf of the Rev. Geo. Thomas, by Mr E. P. Richards, as agent to the landlord, called Thomas Williams, who was examined by Mr James, 7 and stated that he has been a farmer for many years. Was acquainted with the customs of the county as to the time Candlemas tenants left their farms. It was usual for them to give up possession of the farm on the 2nd of February, and of the house on the 2nd of May. Knows Lewis Thomas, "the Machiner," and Lewis Thomas, another defendant. Knew all the other defendants. Knows Watkin Richards, the plain- tiff. Visited Richards on the 2nd of February at his farm. It was on a Saturday. About half-past seven in the morning of Saturday, was disturbed by the Machiner's loud knocking at the door. Witness was in bed. Plaintiff's daughter called to witness to go downstairs. Went down. There were seven people at the door. The Machiner was at thedoor then. The Machiner went back and called to the others who were at the door of the barn. He called to them, in Welsh, to come on and break the door open. The door was bolted and locked. The Machiner had an iron bar in his hand. He tried to break open the door. They then got a sledge hammer and bent the door. They put the bar against the door and beat it with the ham- mer. They then got the shaft of a car, and struck the door with it. (The learned Counsel had described this instrument as a battering ram.). Every one knocked at the door to see who was strongest. They knocked the door in pieces. The plaintiff's daughter asked by whose orders they did this. Machiner said he had orders from the Rev. George Thomas. Took a letter out of his poeket and gave it to the constable, Thos. Isaacs, and told him to read it. Isaacs did so, in Welsh and English. Machiner said—"By G—d it is George Thomas's orders." (The letter was produced.) Witness believes it to be the same he saw. (The letter was then read.) It was dated-Cardiff, 29th of January, and addressed to Lewis Thomas, the Ma- chiner. Its purport was, not to let the plaintiff stay on any account, after the 2nd of February, in the house, and if he was not out then, to get assistance and turn n out. It also gave some directions about some com, &c. The witness said that the machiner did not read the letter as it was now read in Court. He meant that only the first part was read. That which related to the corn being taken at a valuation was omitted. The Machiner,when he got in, said, he would throw the goods out first, and did not care about the old man, he should be turned out afterwards. Ma-- chiner had hold of the old man and witness. They began to take the goods out. Threw them into the garden. Nine persons were taking the; goods out. Tuev left nothing in the house. They broke the dishes into pieces, and the tables and chairs, and all the goods. The furniture was good, and the house completely- fur- nished. There was a stock of provisions. A cow salted, weigbing6;cwt. All were thrown out into the rain and snow. Tfte. witness explained" that he meant sleet. They stripped out the flour and wheat and threw it-into the rain. The old man was left in the house. The Maehiner collared him. The oM man fell down. The Machiner dragged him out. The old man said he had no place to go to, and he would he down by the fire, it was too cold to sleep out under a hedge. The Machiner said he would drag him him out, if he killed him. The other defendants, helped to drag him out. Machiner, Isaacs, and Ed. Edwards were behind the old man and kicked liinu Others were holding his daughter. The old man was dragged out, and sat clown in the porch. Lewis, the machiner, said, Don t be afraid of me"—« Don't be angry with me." Tne old man asked to lay in the sheds till Monday. They would not let him. They dragged all the family out and kickcd them as much as they could. The old man was SO years old. He and his family went nearly five miles off to look for a lodging. The witness was cross-examined by Mr Evans, who endeavoured to shew that his statement of the alleged b;L,ta'^ «»true. Two or three persons kicked plaintiff. Machiner told Isaacs to take the iron bar and sprfit his head into pieecs. Witness had many kicks. They dragged the daughter from the kitchen to a shed. The oM man and the daughter were dragged out at the same tnne. The old man sat down in the porch, and it was half an hour before he could rise after being kicked. Mr Evans said, he believed he must call the t tTi fTr1 fr,end- Tlie witness replied—"Y es, he should be glad to see him if he wouMcall." (Laughter.) T'^e witness was asked by Mr Evans if be was not called The Counsellor," and replied—4' I do not know that I atrt—Call me a counsellor! I don't understand you speak in Gwmrneg." The witnesses's tone and manner excited much amusement in the Court. Wit- ness haa been in plaintiff's house two days when it was broken in. On the Rth of January was before the Justices at Llantnssent. Witness then charged the bailiff, who was^in possession °f piaintirs goods, with setting fire to the house. The witness adhered to his igCne^ !yV.a"d In reP]y to a question, denied that the door-had been fastened with two iron bars taken from a harrow, Raehael WiHiams the plaintiff's daughter was called-She confirmed the last witnesses evidence in some respects, and differed from it in others. She gave a highly-coloured statement of the brutalitv exercised towards her father, and of the Injury done to the goods and provisions The witness spoke of a large bag of fea- thers, for which her father had been offered 2s. 6d. per lb., weighing 300 lbs., and which she said were all spoiled ,-by the r?tin.. She said that she was "struck down" by the Machiner "till the blood flowed from her M a f'=" SIk; sai(j that her father begged for God s sake to be allowed to remain by the fire, for he had noplace to g0 to but in the rain, but the Machiner called to the constable to bring his staff, and split his head in two. The Machiner rose a stick above her father s head and swore he would break his head him- self if J*'d go ?ut- rhe witness also said, that they did not leave the house till between 11 and 12 that night, and that it rained throughout the day. Thomas Richiuids son of «,e p}aintiff wag called— and deposed to the hrutality, &c.; but there were dis- crepancies in the evidence of the witnesses which were remarkable. Mr Evans r^lied—Had his learned friend Mr Chilton had one of the commonest Juries to anneal to he could not have selected better terms in which to ad- dress them than those he had empioyed. The appeal °f rirof'K .thp was one of thoL topics, by means of which his learned friend sought to excite tbeir sympathies, and it Wa8 certainly one of thoSf*PP»ShI £ ^1 the most vulgar minds. He should call evidence to prove how highly exaggemted Pontiff,scasehadbeen, andbow utterly absolved m point of law was his own ni^nt—nnv more, he provJthat plaintiff was indebted to the defendant. to his .very great forbearance, and that he had acted ungratefully towards him 'fh°wk Mr' Tv T\hy Mr Vaueh™ Williams —Is clerk to Mr JZ. P. Richards, plaintiff's attorney. In December 1832, went with Hopldns the biiliff to plaintiff's farm to levy » aist™ L 5,aU jTiic d". fendants, the Rev. Geo. Thomas, and Thomas Thomas. The amount of rent theuduQ, and for which a distress was levied was.. The inventory and notice were delivered to the plaintiff. There was a consent signed, to put off the sale, by Watkin Richards, the plaintiff. Had a conversation with plaintiff about the rent due. Plaintiff said he would pay it if he could, and hoped for time. At that request, time was granted. 'Was' present on the day of sale, 14th January. Has got appraisement. he goods were appraised at j?461 10s. Morgan Williams. Sees him in Court. Mr Williams made a proposal on behalf of the plaintiff, that the stock should be taken at a valuation by de- fendant, rather than they should be sacrificed by a sale. The Rev. Geo Thomas said, he "would have nothing to do with the plaintiff, he was such a knave." At last ite agreed to the proposal. Reference was made by the defendant to the plaintiff's conduct in carrying away some of his goods, and in making false charges against the bailiff, of setting h s house on fire, and tire Rev. Geo. Thomas said thcplaintiff was "such an old rascal he could have nothing to do with him." Richards con- sented to give up possession of the house, farm, and stock. Witness prepared an agreement in the house to that effect, plaintiff put his mark to it, it having been previously read over to him. Witness is one of the attesting witnesses. Agreement produced. Mr James, for the plaintiff, objected to this docu- ment as evidence. It was a surrender of lease, a con- veyance of farming stock, to the value of J?o60, and had only a 35s. stamp, whereas it ought to have had an ad valorem stamp, wlrioh would have been .£6, and 35s. stamp for surrender, besides a 35s. stamp for con- veyance. Mr Vaughan Williams contended .that, as a surren- der, the stamp was a correct one. He instanced tiie cese of Williams v. Sawyer, 3rd Broderip and Bingham. His Lordship decided that the objection taken by Mr Jaines was not a good one. The witness continued—The plaintiff requested of Mr Geo. Thomas to be allowed to stay in the house for a few days, till he could get a place. Mr G. Thomas said he should not. Mr Edw. Morgan Williams asked the same. Mr Thomas at length consented; but said he must have the place-clear before theUnd of February," Richards took a stool in his hand, gave it to the de- fendant, saying, I give you possession of this stool in the name of the whole of the stock." He then desir jd every person to go out of the house. Went out hi inself, locked the door, and gave the key to the defendant, and desired him to enter. Defendant took the key, went in, and gave possession to two of his men. Evan David Job, and Thomas Williams were also there witness believes. Raehael Richards, the plaintiff's daughter, saw the whole of this. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Chilton, but his testimony was not shaken. Other witnesses were called, who proved what he had stated amongst them was Mr Edward Morgan Williams. The alleged bru- tality was proved not to have been so great as stated, and the injury done to furniture comparatively trifliiHf. It was proved by the witness, in whose cart the large bag of feathers was removed, that they sustained no injury; for that they were covered over with two sraw mattrasses, which kept them perfectly dry. The plaintiff's obstinacy was also proved. Mr Chilton replied with great zeal for his client, and The learned Judge summed up. His Lordship'said there were several isgues to this cause. He regretted that the defendant had taken violent means to get pos- session of the house. No one had a right to take the law into his own hands. He understood, however, that such is the custom of the country, and he hoped that, some indictments would be got against persons so offending, to put a stop to such proceedings. The old man had expressly barred the door to keep out the parties who had a right to enter, and he had forfeited all claim to cejnpassion. He had signed an agreement, whether properly stamped or not, (and he, the learned Judge, thought it was) to go out. There was nothing said about the remainder of the rent due. After pos- session had been given of the house by the plaintiff to the defendant, on the 11th of January, he took no steps to get any place, although he knew he was liable to go out; but he shut up the doors and barred them against the owner, and then came there to complain that the plaintiff had not the charity a Christian minister should have; but the plaintiff had no right to complain Giving him permission to remain there until he could get a place to go to, was not intended to create the re- lations of landlord and tenant. But supposing that the plaintiff had been thus made a tenant at will, he had no right to notice. It was not laid down by any of the books that a tenant at will had a right to notice to quit. The case for the Jury was the special pleas As re- garded the assault and taking the goods, it was proved on all hands that both had been done. It was not con- tended that they were goods which plaintiff had no right to keep; on the contrary, it was admitted lie had a right to keep them. There must be a verdict against the defendant. But they had put in an answer, that they were in possession of the house, and because the goods encumbered the house they moved them to a reasonable distance; and respecting the assault they said that no more violence was used than was necessary To find for the defendants, on the special plea, it was necessary to find that they took possession on the i4th of July, and that leave was given to the plaintiff to remain there on sufferance, the defendants being in possession by means of his servants. If the Jury were satisfied of that, they would find for the defendants on the special pleas. With respect to breaking, &c. de- fendants said they had leave and licence; but of that there was no proof. The Jury would negative that at once. The Jury retired, and found for the plaintiff on the first count, for the defendant on the -second, i. e. that the defendants did commit assault and violence, but were justified in so doing.—No Damages. The learned Judge certified that it was a proper case for a Special Jury. Regan v. RusseU.-(Before a Special JurY-)-Mr Johns opened the pleadings, and Mr James stated the tase-. He regretted. that the duty of addressing the Jury should have devolved upon him at that fate hour when, feeling himself considerably fatigued, his doubts of rendering justice to his client's cause were naturally enhanced. It was his duty to state that the ca e to which he was about to call their attention, was one of extremely rare occurrence, and, he would also admit presented circumstances of no ordinary difficulty. It wight appear, perhaps, an ungrateful task in him to present any case against a profession to which all must acknowledge, that we owed many blessings. In no profession, he would say, was there to be found more luft wl* were distinguished for their humanity and talent. The profession was distinguished in itself for so much courage, skill, patient assiduity and attention to the bed-side, that all of us must have seen, and most of us must have practically known the great blessings and advantages iteoferr on mankind. The Jury would feel the difficulty in which he was placed it might, and perhaps did seem like inflicting a wound on the surgical character; but that was far, very far from his intention. The learned Gentleman then pro- ceeded to state the case as sworn to by the witnesses, and called— r Wm. Evans, examined by Mr Johns—Is a master- miner, at Penydarran. Has been employed above ground by the Company. Knows that the Penydarran Company employs George Russell, as surgeon. Geo. Russell is also employed at Dowlais, Rumney, awl the Lower Furnace (Plymouth) Works. Witness recollects the accident to Michael Regan. On the day of that accident there was a fall of earth about five o'clock. The fall threw the man on his side. Witness and another man caught hold of Regan to take him away. They did take him up and saw blood on his leg. Wit- ness told the plaintiff he had broken his leg. Plaintiff said-—"Not my leg, but I have broken my hip." Plaintiff was taken home. Witness and another man went to the doctor's house. The doctor's house was about a mile from where the accident occurred. Plain- tiff lived about a quarter of a mile nearer to the Ply- mouth Works, about a quarter of a mile from the doctor's house. Two doctors were at the plaintiff's house as soon as they had got there with the plaintiff. Mr Edward Russell, and the apprentice, Cox, were the two doctors lie meant. Cross-examined by Mr Vaughan Williams-The doctors were there within an hour of the accident. Perhaps it might be, five quarters of an hour. Ann Jones, examined by Mr James-Attended plaintiff as ""r.se\ "-egan lodged then with Micliael Sullivan* Plaintiff remained in Sullivan's house four months and a week after the accident. Witness at- tended him there all the time. Plaintiff afterwards removed to witness s house. The doctors were at the plaintiff's house before witness, on.the day of the acci- dent. Plaintiff was lying in bed when witness went in. Witness helped to hold the limb for the doctors. The leg; below the knee, was broken, and appeared to be almost pounded. Witness raised the pounded part with her fingers. Edward Russell and Cox examined and dressed the wound. Witness washed it. Edward Russell was assistant to George Russell, and Cox is George Russell s apprentice. Edward Russell put splints to plaintiff's leg. He put three splints. The,, splints lie put were not like those shewn her by the Counsel. They were flat splints slightly indented. There was no hole for the ancle, and no footpiece. The, splints were put to the leg, one on the side where the cut was, one under the leg, and one on the other side., Nothing was put between the splints and the leg.: The doctors asked for wool, but they had none. They did not put anything. Plaintiff complained of piin in his hip and wished Edward Russell to look at it. He complained of pain in his hip. Edward Russell ex- amined his hip. He raised the thigh and shook it. He moved it up and down and the plaintiff groaned. Witness saw the hip at that time. There was no swell- ing then-no swelling the first night. Edward Russell said, after examining it, "There is nothing the matter but the broken leg." After that they (the doctor's) bound up the legs together with a brick between the knees. There was nothing put between the brick and the knees at first; but witness herself put a handker- chief between the brick and the knees when the doctors were gone. Witness attended as nurse throughout that night. Plaintiff complained of his hip all night. There was no swelling in the hip at all that night; but there was a swelling in the leg in consequence of the splints. In consequence of that swelling and the pain, plaintiff wished witness to go to the doctor's. Between twelve and one o'clock witness went to the doctor s. She went to George Russell's door. Somebody an- swered her. She was directed to go to Edward Russell's house. She went. Saw the maid servant, and gave her a message. Heard the maid servant give the mes- sage to Edward Russell. It was a small house. The servant asked Edward Russell to go and see Regan. Edward Russell said He would not go till morning; that he had nothing to do." The servant repeated the request, when she (witness), desired her to go back:" The maid went back. Edward Russell refused again. Witness went back to plaintiff. He was in great pain. Witness bathed his leg with luke-warm water. M 9 o'clock next morning the doctors were not there. Witness went for them before nine o'clock. Saw Edward Russell. He said he would come directly." Witness waited a little on the tram-road for him. Edward Russell came out. Witness tokl, him that plaintiff complained of his hip. When they got to Regan's bed-side, Regan said For God's sake look at my hip-it has been so bad all night." Edward Russell lifted the bed-clothes. Hefelt the hip under the bed-clothes. Edward Russell said, "There is nothing the matter—the pain arises from the broken leg." He said that He had nothing in the world to do for the leg till the day for opening and dressing it." Edward Russell made a second visit on Thursday. At'the end of a week and a day, Edward Russell came there and dressed the leg. That was on a Thursday. Plaintiff, on that o.-easion, requested' him to look at his hip again. Edward Russell did so; and said there was no- thing the matter with it—the pain arose from the leg. Witness told Edward Russell that the splints cut the -plaintiff. Edward Russell made no alteration in them. Plaintiff's leg, during the first eight days. smelt very much. ft appeared much inflamed, and it was "working." After Edward Russell went away, plaintiff desired wit- ness to go for another doctor. Witness went to the defendant's surgery. Met Mr Scale on the road there. Mr Scale is George Russell's apprentice. Scale did not go to plaintiff then, but came that night. Plaintiff desired Scale to examine his hip. Scale did examine the hip, every bit." Scale said nothing. Witness asked him about it, but he made no answer. Scale went out directly, and returned sooner than witness thought he could have gone to the shop. The defendant came with him. George Russell asked for a sheet. They put the sheet up between the plaintiff's legs as far as they possibly could. George Russell was nearest to the knee, and Scale and witness held the sheet and were pulling by it. George Russell was drawing by the knee. Before this George Russell did not examine the hip. George Russell put his hand and measured between the two knees. Nobody pulled at the knee with George Russell the first time. Sullivan was by. After they had pulled for some time, George Russell said "Did you hear that cracking?" Witness said she thought the cracking was by the knee and not above." George Russell said, It was by the hip," and he said, "Tile hip is now in its place." Mr Russell then ban- daged the hip across. They had not untied the logs before they pulled. Witness cannot say whether the handkerchief was slackened or not. The splints wore not off. After George Russell left, the legs were tied, and he said they were to be left so till lie came again. Plaintiff took the brick away. George Russell put it back again. The day after the pulling, Cox and Scale came. They brought a long splint to reach from the hip to the ancle. They also brought a band. They viewed the leg, then they pulled again. Cox and Scale pulled together. Then they put the splint on the hip. The splint reached high up the side, else it would have reached the other splints. They put nothing be- tween the splint and the flesh. Scale called the week afterwards. Witness pointed out to him that the flesh had gathered under the head of one of the splints near the knee. Scale removed the splint. By this time the heel was very bad, and swelling and working matter out. The splint remained there to the last after that. It was the third splint. The heel then became maggotty. There were maggots in it. The flesh had sloughed away. It was cut round. The wound remained un- healed to this day, the same as the rest. Plaintiff was months and months with an ulcer, working constantly, and there is a knob now left in the middle. Scale re- moved the splint from the thigh. The day after that the plaintiff sent Ijjr for Geo. Russell. Geo. Russell came there. Plaintiff asked him to examine the hip again. Geo. Russell pulled It again, and put the splint back in the same way as it was before. Scale removed it. It was very long before the splints were removed from the leg. It became scabby and running, and scaled off. They removed the splints from the side of the leg first. Plaintiff's legs were tied up altogether six or seven weeks before any were removed. Witness had to go to Dr. Russell, and to tell him that plaintiff complained of his hip. Geo. Russell said that "he kept servants, that he could not always attend at that time, and that plaintiff would, if he had been in Ireland, have had his leg off." Edward Russell said also that plaintiff's hip bone was eracked. Said so one morning on theiram-road, when witness had a conversation with him. The splints were not off at that time. By a Juror—Cox and Scale were present at the time of the secoad pulling of Regan's leg, but not Russell. Cross-examined—Plaintiff does not speak Welsh. It was, she thinks, three or four days after the first dressing that Scale and Cox pulled the plaintiff's leg. Geo. Russell pulled it about a fortnight after the ac- cident. Scale and Geo. Russell pulled together. She cannot recollect any time they pulled, for she never thought she should have to come to such a place on the subject. She looked at the hip on the night of the ac- cident. There was no swelling there. The leg was in a shocking state while she was washing it. The bones seemed like sand. Not much blood, gushed from the wound. It turned the colour of the water that she washed it with, but not much. Plaintiff's leg bono ap- peared as if working to come out. It is healed. There is no wound there. Some pieces of bone came out shortly after the accident. Witness had said that the legs were bound together, she thinks it was to keep them "solid." There-was a handkerchief around the two knees, a brick between. The brick was between the knees rather below them. They tried to put ano- ther brick, but could not without pain. The brick was within an ineh of the knees. After the leg was Spoaged, the doctors put plaister upon it, then they put on bandages, and then the splints. It was the night of the accident that she washed the leg. Swears that she heard somebody speak to Mr Edward Russell about the message she gave. Heard his voice. Edward Russell paid the second visit the day after the accident; about half-past nine o'clock. He did not come again 111 the ninth day after the accident. Swears that, be- tween the second day and the eighth day, Mr Edward Russell did not go at all. Witness is a married woman. Does not live with her husband. Has not taken the plaintiff for her husband. Her husband comes to her evary fortnight. Witness never goes to bed to Regan. It is the same between Regan and her as between her- self and the interpreter. Witness was not afraid to stand that question before God or man. Swears that she was never in bed with Regan. Never heard of her having any of the damages which the plaintiff might have in the action. Witness never said she was to -Le have £100 if Regan had £ 500. There was a report, when plaintiff was in London, that he had had several hundred pounds, and what she (witness) said was that if so, she had done her duty so as to deserve £100. Witness Knows Gwenllian Williams. Never told her she was to have X 100 if plaintiff got £ 500 by the trial; but she said that" She ought to have them." There was no report of Russell's ill-treatment of Regan's leg till another surgeon had seen it. Until then she had said that Cox and Scale had been attentive to Regan according to her understanding, but she had never said that Russell had been so. John Jones, examined by Mr Johns—Is a workman at Penydarran. Remembers the accident to Regan. Went to plaintiff's house. Saw Edward Russell and Cox dressing his leg. Regan groaned very much, and was in shocking agony. He said his hip was very bad. Edward Russell dressed his hip, and put his hand upon it, and moved the thigh up and down. Witness saw the hip. Observed no swelling. Edward Russell said the hip was not broken nor out of place. Witness stopped till the dressing was finished, and took part in it. Witness held the plaintiff's leg. One splint was put on each side of the leg, another splint under it, and it was then bound up. Cross-examined—There was no padding or splints. Witness saw there was no padding. Daniel Cross, examined.—Was working with Regan at the time of the accident. Regan complained most of his hip. His leg was in a very bad state. Ann Jones washed it. Edward Russell and Cox were there in about an hour, or an hour and a quarter. They put splints on the leg, not like tho3e shewn him, they had no holes nor foot-piece. Three were used, each side and under. There was no padding. There was a small plaister over the cut, excepting that there was nothing between the splints and the leg. Plaintiff complained of his Illp. Russell worked it up and down, and said "There is nothing the matter but the pain from the broken bone." Edward Russell asked for a brick or a stone. Witness himself went out and brought in a brick. Edward Russell put it between Regan's legs a little below the knee. Fastened it with a bandage a little below the knee. Witness visited Regan 8 or 9 days afterwards. He was in the same state as when witness left him before. Regan still complained of his hip. Witness put a handkerchief between the brick and his leg1, which he got from Ann Jones. Cross-examined—Edward Russell said there was nothing the matter with the hip, only the pain of the broken bone in the leg. Russell did not say the hip was out of place. Witness saw the splints. He had them in his hand going from the doctor's shop. Is quite sure there was no padding. Mary Sullivan, examined by Mr James-Is. wife of Michael Sullivan. Plaintiff was brought to her home about an hour after the accident. Ann Jones attended him four months and one week. Witness was there when the doctors came in. Saw the splints. They were straight. Saw no padding; but the nurse tore up her handkerchief to put between them and the leg, but could not do it. The doctors had put nothing. Three splints were used. Plaintiff complained of his hip, while the doctors were dressing the wound. Witness was by when Edward Russell examined the hip. He worked it up and down, and said that "there was nothing the matter with it, but the pain from the broken bone." He did not dress it or put any thing to it. He put one brick between his legs, and put a small narrow bandage round the" stav.es"-(so the witness called the straight splints used). Witness was there when Edward Russell came next morning. He raised the clothes and looked at the hip. He said there is nothing the matter with it only the heat and pain, and the broken leg caused all." Witness saw tiro doctors eight days from that. E. Russell and Cox came there then. They dressed the leg. Plaintiff complained of the Vip. Edward Russell again said, there was nothing the .matter, only the 'broken leg. Witness was thei-OHvhen Scale came in in the evening. Did not see him examine the hip. Saw Scale go out, and soon aftci* return with. Dr. Geprge Russell. Witness wont into tboOt. G. Iiussell asked for a sheet. Gave him one. G: Russell put the sheet between the plaintiff's thighs, and gave the end of it to Scale. Scale pulled the sheet. G. Russell caught plaintiff by the knee and pulled his leg down. Can't say how long they pulled—about five minutes. Heard George Russell say nothing till he tied up the flannel bandages; he then said, "All isright." Witness saw Scale and Cox come in They put the splint on the plaintiff's thigh. The splints remained five or six weeks. Saw the wounds on the plaintiff's heel, and where the broken place was, and also by the knee. He knew there were wounds on the heel. They were long heal- ing. They were not healed when Regan left het^iouse. He was there four months and one week after the acci- dent. Cross-examined by Mr Powell-Saw no swelling on the first night. She heard what was said by Edward Russell; but heard nothing said by him about fomenta- tions. Nothing material was elicited in the slight crow-ex- ami nation that followed. Michael Sullivan, examined by Mf'Johns-—Is the husband of last witness. Was out on the night of the accident to Michael Regan. Went home next morning and saw him in bed. Regan said his leg was very bad, and that he had suffered very great pain all night from his hip. Witness was there when the defendant came with Scale. It was eight days after the accident. George Russell asked for a sheet. George Russell ex- amined across and over the knees. Put the sheet be- tween Regan's legs. Told Scale to take hold of the sheet. Put witness to pull. Witness pulled as hard as he could. Russell told witness to keep it to the right." Heard it crack two or three times. George Russell asked, Did we hear it or feel it crack." Witness said, "yes." It was then tied up with a flannel bandage. Can't say if G. Russell said anything more. G. Russell did not examine the hip, unless it was before witness went into the room. Cross-examined.—When witness pulled the limb it did not lengthen that he knows. Re-examined by Mr James—" Couldn't say whether J it lengthened or not—it jumped." George Russell said, "Keep to that pull, it is very well." Scale had hold of the sheet all the time. Cross-examined again by Mr Powell-Witness meant "by jumping," that he felt a shock under his hand. Cant say exactly how it was. Mr John Martin examined by Mr James—Is a Member of the College of Surgeons, and Licentiate of Appotheearies' Hall. Practices at Merthyr. In March last, was asked to see Regan's leg, and visited him. Regan was in bed. Examined the khip, and found that there wasa dislocation on the dorsum of the ilium. The ilium is a bone into which the head of the thigh boue is inserted. The symptoms he observed were, that the leg was two inches shorter than the Other. The knee and foot were inverted. On rotating the thigh inwards, found the head of the thigh bone on the dorsum of the ilium. In witness's opinion, it was decidedly a disloca- tion. Could not move the limb outwards at all. Could not draw one limb from the other. Witness knew no 'accident that would produce similar effects, besides dislocation of the hip. The usual effect of the fracture of the thigh bone was, that the limb was everted. The limb would be shortened in that case. In making examination, should have felt a crepitus if it had been a fracture. Is certain that the head of the thigh bone was on the dorsum -of the iliflml; It was upwards and backwards from the socket. The -head is now to he felt there distinctly. When he rotates the limb, it meves. Witness knows nothing that would produce a round substance in that place. that might be mistaken for the head of the thigh bone. The symptoms of dislocation of the hip are very obvious to a surgeon. Inversion of the limb is, in that case, produced by the position of the bone, not by the action of the muscles. It is generally obvious at the time of the accident. If there were no swelling at the hip, it would be easy enough for a surgeon to find out dislocation at the time of accident. There was no swelling, in accidents of that kind, directly. The surgeon could not tie the two legs together with- out perceiving the shortness of the limb., and the inver- sion of the knee. Regan's accident is a tfare one. Witness never heard of, or saw the like, but would have attempted to reduce the dislocation at the time of the accident. In making reduction of dislocation, extension is made above the knee. A fastening is made to the groin, to fix the pelvis, and pullies at the knee. If this had been done, in plaintiff's case, some inflam- mation might have ensued, but that inflammation would not be so serious as an' unreduced dislocation. The inflammation would have been in the lower limb. Has no doubt it would be his duty as a surgeon to attempt reduction ofdislocation. In witness's opinion, unreduced dislocation of the hip affects the patient more than an amputated limb. A man with an unreduced dislocation would be the most helpless of the two. Supposing reduction not to be effected at the time of the accident. Witness would have tried it three or four week afterwards, if called in. Plaintiff is not able to work. Regan is in Court. Sees him. (Here the plaintiff stood up on a seat). That is the position of the knee that witness speaks of—it is turned in- wards. After examining the hip, did not at that time examine tho lower limb particularly. Did afterwards. It was a compound fracture, and a severe one. It had united, but not so as to have its original conformation. The compound fracture was not then healed. Witness saw the signs of the wound on the heel, which was very tender at the time. It appeared to have sloughed a good deal. Witness never saw three splints used in a case of fracture. Never heard of it as part of good surgical practice. Thought the third splint under the leg would produce evil effects* It would push the muscles of the back part of the leg between the extre- mities of the bone; that would retard the union of the bone. It Would also have a tendency to prevent the setting of the bone in its original shape. The splints now on the table are those usually made use of. They have a foot piece and holes for the ancle joints. Consi- dcrs straight splints not proper to be used. Witness never heard of bricks being introduced between the legs, in cases of fracture. Never saw or heard of the prac- tice of tying one leg to another in cases of fracture. Ty- ing the brick between the knees would produce a good deal of irritation. It would produce inflammation of the limb and fever, in witness's Opinion, and delay the healing of the broken limb. A person after a fracture is very liable to start at night, and if he drew one limb up, it would disturb the other. Witness knew no sur- gical object that could be effected by tying the legs together, or by introducing a brick between them. The extent of Works under Mr George Russell's care is Penydarran, Plymouth, Dowlais and Rumney. Defen- dant attends the workmen. They constitute a large part of the population of Merthyr. The defendant at- tended perhaps 12,000or 13,000 men—can't say exactly. Should think half the population of Merthyr. Cross-examined—Witness is brother to the agent of the Penydarran Company. Should think that Mr Geo. Russell had practised since witness was in his cradle. Witness had set up in business near the defendant. The plaintiff sent for witness. Aim Jones came. Plaintiff said that a piece or two of bone came out within a month. Plaintiff seemed in progress of cure as far as the fracture went. Supposing there was swelling of the hip, it wou'd be easy to discover the dislocation with the other symptoms. (Mr Vaughan Williams here read ;r an extract from Sir Astley Cooper'sT work, to the that it would be difficult to determine in cases of swelling, &c., and that it would be illiberal to find' with a person who might be mistaken.) agreed in that opinion. Supposing there had fracture of the neck of the thigh bone, witness's nion was, that no skill could have cured it so aS to r7i vent lameness. In witness's judgment, the bone have united by ligament. The bone would have united by a tendinous substance called ligament■. Vaughan Williams read another extract irotB > Astley Cooper's work, to prove that the bone could unite.) The witness said that it would not bone, but in ligament. The peristeum of the would throw out a substance tbat holds it tog«t"L When witness said perios teum, he meant thecap^J- ligament. There was no periosteum at the part to. It required considerable force to reduce fracoo, The danger that might arise from theapplicatfo*^ force was from inflammation and mortification. *7% might affect the life of the patient. Does not there would be such danger in this pftrticular Witness would have tried. Witness meant to say if force had been applied above knee, he dotiS think it would have risked life j«SoUmb. Did notj** the case till March. Could teiT it was a severe ture of the leg if he had only seen it this day. Und^ the circumstances of this case, he would have Wjj&l the reduction of the dislocation. Witness sooner have lost his leg than be as Regan is iia to his hip. j Re-examined by Mr James—Witness meant to that in case of fracture-of the neck of the thigh bone tWj; would be no union of bony matter—the union wouWjjjy effected by a ligamentous substance. (His asked if the ligament spoken of was an artificial *0^ stance, applied by surgeons, or a natural one. Wit^ explained it was a natural substance.) Crors-extilviorlr tion, by Mr James, continued-Witness would ad that the reduction of dislocation would possibly ca wo-u)d Ocesil extensive inflammation and mortification but it' VFO net probable. As a surgeon, he should not take those sibilities into consideration.—Extension was made J9 pullies. Extension so made was gradual, ami notW sudden jerkings.—Extension such as that made by/\ Russell and,others, would. produce more iffit-,ttiov tho, extension by pullies—rmore than three times as innch. By Mr R. William^—The inflammation tbat wo«/* be superinduced by extension was inflammation of serous membrane. By the Judge—The degree of ease or difficulty ascertaining if there were dislocation would depr upon the amount of swelling. Joseph Davis, examined by Mr James-Has bee" member of the Care of Surgeons 20 years; for I years has practised^imongst miners. Is now in S010 degree retired, but is still consulted- in cases of fracttJtf During his practice, witness has had umtryrases of pound fracture and dislocation.
