Medical Jurisprudence, Volume 3 (of 3)

by John Ayrton Paris; J. S. M. Fonblanque

POSTSCRIPT.

While this work was in the press several circumstances have occurred which it may be necessary to notice; first, as respecting the corporate medical bodies, His Majesty has been pleased to confer additional honors on the President of the College of Physicians, for which see the Preface;—the College itself is about to be removed from their late house in Warwick Lane to a more convenient site among the new buildings of Pall Mall East. A new charter has been granted to the College of Surgeons, but as it is not yet confirmed by Act of Parliament, it does not materially vary the public right of the College, or supply what was wanting in their jurisdiction. The Apothecaries’ Company have very properly exerted their powers under the Act of 55 Geo. iii, for punishing illegal practice.[^[110]]

The Marriage Act which is incidentally referred to, vol. i, p. 169, is in part repealed by an act of the last session, which in turn is about to be amended or repealed in the present. The Portsmouth case, adhuc sub judice, affords some curious illustrations on the subjects of impotence and insanity.

The impolitic duty on salt has been lowered to one-seventh of its former amount. An act has been passed to prevent nuisances by gas-water; (vol. i, p. 339) and another for regulating the sale of Bread; (vol. i, p. 375) to these we must refer our readers for the modification or correction of our former remarks on the several subjects connected with them.
